dbus not working on openvz Fedora 11, 12

[chronos]

I have been using remote graphical desktop based on free NX software on Fedora 8, 9, 10. But it is not working any more on Fedora 11 and 12.

Virtual appliances can be download from http://download.openvz.org/contrib/template/precreated/

NX desktop is not working because d-bus sevice is not running.

Messagebus service cannot be started via:

/etc/init.d/messagebus start

There is question thread on openvz forum:
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=34992&&srch=dbus#msg_34992

Some dbus fix exists for different kernel:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel5/028stab060.2/changes

Maybe it's different problem but maybe this can be right fix.

It is possible to check this fix for proxmox kernel?

Well, I don't know how openvz team do development of opevz. I am just trying to figured out what's going on about dbus-daemon error and be able to update to current version of Fedora.
So there is a mention about fixing something with dbus. As it is written in Download section and openvz is open source I assume that it can be downloaded from somewhere.
Maybe they use some versioning system where old versions can be downloaded.

Just find keyword dbus using CTRL+F on the page.

..Don't ban CAP_AUDIT_XXX capabilities in container to make the dbus-daemon work...

...Fixed CAP_AUDIT capability in CT (for dbus) ...

But I don't understand process of transfering some patches from rhel5 kernel 2.6.18 to debian 2.6.24 and why latest date on this page is 2008.

So just want to say that I wish to solve this problem but I don't know how to help.
You know much better where to find some solution.
According to http://git.openvz.org/ it's obvious that linux-2.6.24-openvz and linux-2.6.26-openvz branches are the most up-to-date.

Another problem is that pure-ftpd service fail to start with error

pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272527
According to this bugreport there is something like missing CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILTIES kernel feature or capability module.

Please can you file a bug at http://bugzilla.openvz.org/

Seems the patch is missing in the 2.6.24 branch.
