DBUS problem

Hi, I have a big problem. After an upgrade I cannot start any service (including x server) as normal user. Some time ago I had to add policy for nm-applet the same as root for me. Now I cannot do anything unless I am root. The biggest deal is I cannot even log in. I use cdm and dwm and it cannot log me in. Please help me. I am desperate. I think just blind adding policies doesn't solve anything, or if it does, I think this is not the right way. I am in the dbus group. (also in root group). Please don't tell me I have to reinstall the system. I would have to kill myself.
EDIT: the nm-applet problem was, that the network manager couldn't start, so I had to add something like <policy user="sdoky"> <allow ...> </policy> just copy those lines from root, just add them below the root with changed user. I could have lived with that (also using wicd right now - has a ncurses client)
HELP please, I am desperate. There must be something I am doing wrong... please tell me what.

This sounds all pretty vague I doubt anyone can help you with this little information. And why exactly are you making reinstalling look like such a drama, you have backups, don't you? And even if you don't it's not like it's impossible to use a Live system for backupping data. And then a reinstall is what, 3 hours of work at most?!
The best reason I see for not reinstalling would be seeing it as a challenge, which I'd understand perfectly but then again that doesn't make one desperate.
If you need to be root for such simple tasks maybe permsisions for a folder like /usr/bin are messed up, I doubt DBUS is to blame. And where exactly have you added those policies?
And please stay  a little bit more calm if you want people to help you it's not like you haven't chosen freely to use a Linux distribution that needs a little bit more work than others.
Could you elaborate on what exactly are the sympotms what is the ouput of the commands you can't run as a normal user?
Which commands are you trying to run and whats in your X error logs?

  • Startup error messages for Pulseaudio initialization, dbus problem?

    I am experiencing some lag on startup when logging in with my user. I suspected something going wrong when initializing my autostart daemons. Indeed, Pulseaudio seems to have some trouble (but the sound output works just fine).

  • Wireless, Network-manager, dbus problem

    When I configure a Wep key to my wireless internet
    sharing network, my windows installed notebook can't
    connect to my iMac. But when I set up it free the
    notebook connects easily.
    There does seem to be a known issue with a WEP encrypted software base station and Windows clients.
    As far as I am aware there is no way to get a Windows client to connect to a WEP encrypted software base station (sharing internet via Airport on a Mac).
    I tried both with ASCII and
    HEX keys and generated them from:
    You could try a ASCII key of
    1234567123456
    which will be a HEX key of
    31323334353637313233343536
    However if this doesn't work then nothing will.
    I don't know what to do and I don't want to set a
    wireless network free for security problems. Does
    anyone know a solution?
    Yes, get a wireless router and use that, it really is the only suitable solution.

  • (TRASH) dbus problem....cant login to gui-(TRASH)

    ok...so I get this error on startup
    failed to start message bus Error in file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf line 1 column 16 not well formed
    I have xfce4, dbus, hal, gamin, gdm, and all the xf86-input-synaptic and such all freshly installed on this laptop...
    when I startxfce4 it opens but no keyboard or mouse.... am I missing something? last time I did this all I needed was the xf86 drivers and such and it worked fine.
    Could I have installed hal or gdm wrong?
    When I tried to gdm from the command line I get:

    Another reason I hate gdm
    Maybe try slim?

    Sorry that this doesn't directly solve your problem. I just thought of a suggestion
    Also, reinstalling them never hurt. Maybe run:
    pacman -S hal
    pacman -S dbus
    pacman -S gdm

  • Banshee + dbus problem

    I just switched from gnome to xfce and xmonad.
    Everything is wonderful but I've got an issue with banshee.
    It works, but it doesn't "connect" to dbus, and so I can't set my keybindings to it since if I try to execute something like "banshee-1 --previous" it would open a new banshee istance

    The problem is exactly the one described here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65189 and in fact if I try to launch banshee with dbus-launch it doesn't throw that error.
    Is there a way to fix that?

    ok, someone suggested the solution in irc: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/D-Bus#D-bus_Launch

  • Dbus problems, sudo and wicd fail to work

    Every time I try to run any command with "sudo", my system hangs, and the terminal that I entered this into becomes unusable (no ctrl+C will exit the process).
    For some reason wicd is also not running; when I use "wicd-client" from the command line, I get this error:
    ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.22:/org/wicd/daemon: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
    I have hal in my DAEMONS section of my rc.conf, which should start dbus (I have also tried adding dbus right before hal as well), so while dbus has started, it doesn't seem to be working.
    I can supply any more information, but this problem has gone past my individual troubleshooting capability and a conventional google search.

    This is not a sudo bug from what I can tell, but rather a dbus bug that is breaking many programs, sudo included.
    Reinstalling could be difficult, since wicd will not start, I have no internet.
    EDIT: also rebooting does not work, I have to force power off. The system stalls at trying to halt the dbus daemon.

  • Ivman hal dbus problem

    I tried automount and this with the packages from current and extra
    when starting ivman I get this:
    libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/lib/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
    ** (process:3869): WARNING **: manager.c/656: Failed to initialize HAL!
    if I start hal it seems to start but later does not have a process so I think it stops again:
    12:08:17.822 [I] hald.c:394: hal 0.4.7
    12:08:17.823 [I] hald.c:396: Will daemonize
    12:08:17.823 [I] hald.c:406: Becoming a daemon
    ps ax|grep hal shows me nothing
    finally dbus:
    dbus gets started at boottime and has this lines when I ps for it:
    3746 tty1     S      0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
    3747 ?        Ss     0:00 dbus-daemon-1 --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address 6
    so somehow some kind of dbus is running but hal can't connect to it so ivman wont start.
    I could not find any information about this problem.
    any help appreciated
    thanks
    wabi

    Hi
    I got some other problem hal related
    It was running since weeks without problems..automounting usb, cd etc.
    since the latest update, where hal and dbus was updated some very very strange things happen.
    After fresh start I had normally 77 processes running, mounting was ok etc.
    Now...after a restart I got 150 processes running increasing every few seconds.
    After a minute or so I got 280. 200 are hal and hotlug.hal related.
    and the Hard Drive and CPU is always showing actibities. never happened before.
    ...and  automounting isn´t working anymore too.
    What is this?

  • Wicd stopped working - (DBus problem at all?)

    Hi,
    today I have turned my laptop on and discovered, that I am not able to connect to wireless network. Wicd started to complain about DBus connection. Everything looks like this: I turn on computer, Slim logs me in, Wicd starts to connect to wireless network. After few seconds Wicd dies. When I try to start it again, it complains about DBus connection. So I have to "systemctl stop wicd" and run the daemon by "sudo wicd". Now, I am able to connect to wireless network via Wicd, but after few minutes Wicd dies again.
    Other problem - udiskie. When I plug in flash drive, nothing happens. When I run udiskie from console, no output is given - simply nothing. It seems like a problem with DBus at all to me. Do you have any ideas, how to fix it?

    I have tried to completly remove wicd from my system, but without success.
    Last time I have been bitten by this, I have reinstalled my Arch - now I would like to avoid it, if possible.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi. I've been getting this error too, and saw your post. So I looked at the wicd wiki page...
    Have a look at this:

  • [Solved] Move system out of LVM DBus problems

    Hi,
    Earlier was using LVM and Arch age on Vol0/archlinux, today I moved the system out of LVM, then system now is on sda1, for move I do this (I can't remember the correct order but I thinks that's it):
    1. copied system using "rsync -ah --progress" ignoring sys,dev,run,mnt,proc
    2. configured /etc/fstab accordly:
    /dev/sda1 / btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache,compress=lzo 0 1
    3. from a chroot installed grub (no error reported), i.e.:
    grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
    4. booted in the system
    all are working well, except some services can't start at boot: dnsmasq and after login in console systemd-logind fail to start at first try (automatically) after it start normally and is working.
    another thing is that LightDM won't start, the complete output:

    tried:
    1. re-installing lightdm
    2. regenerating initramfs
    3. removing and re-installing dbus and systemd (i.e.: pacman -Rnsdd systemd dbus; pacman -S systemd dbus)
    nothing of these things solves, So I think that it isn't a LightDM issue.
    dbus-monitor looks correct!

    Is X server Xephyr in your path?
    By the way, you would be better advised to use the rsync flags mentioned in the wiki page for full system backup with rsync to make sure that you do not lose information. -a will get most stuff but not everything. For example, ping may not work and I think you will lose ACLs as well as capabilities. I doubt this is why it can't find the X server, though.

  • Problem with wlan sticks module, not able to write to disk any more

    Hello everybody,
    when I booted my PC today, a strange and some sort of severe problem occurred concerning my wlan stick(s) that I think, I'm not able to solve without your help. I searched for a solution but it didn't seem that somebody else has had a similar problem before.
    Here is the description:
    I have two wlan sticks (but I do not use both of them nor are they both plugged in at the same time), and both happen to malfunction since today. My "main" stick (used most of the time) is a BigTec Wireless 11N Adapter with a Realtek chipset. My second one (only used to solve problems with the other stick) is a Fritz! WLAN USB Stick (to be used with ndiswrapper).
    After bootup, which makes no problems at all, my "main" wlan stick is not able to connect to the network. When I run wicd-curses (I use wicd as network manager), the virtual terminal freezes (when I use urxvt under openbox to run wicd-curses, only the window freezes). After one minute, a message appears that says something about a dbus problem but I am not able to read it because of the screen clears. Then I'm able to use the terminal again, but (and this is the very, very strange about this) when I run any program that tries to write on my disk it stucks, so I can't cancel it with ctrl-c nor can I kill the process. Wicd-curses, ifconfig or iwconfig also crash after entering the command and show the same behavior. At this point, my wlan stick does not show any sign of being plugged in (normally it blinks...).
    My second stick makes the computer crash: After a few moments a stacktrace is shown (like when a kernel panic occurs), saying something about "stack being overrun". But I can't find the message in the log files so it is difficult to post it.
    When I tried to figure out a solution, I saw in pacman.log, that yesterday udev and hwdetect were updated... But also downgrading all the packages that were updated yesterday did not solve the problem!
    I'll post now the last lines of a few logs here (but nothing concerning the ndiswrapper stick, else it would be too disturbing), I hope they help you at helping me!

    This seems to be a problem with r8712u on all 3.2.x and 3.3-rc kernels on all distros.  I've had it for weeks on Gentoo, Arch, and several other distros.
    If you are running a 3.2.x kernel, this is almost definitely the problem.  All 3.1 kernels don't do this.
    I posted a temporary work-around on the Arch bugzilla, and Larry Finger (kernel dev with wireless) is currently working on it (a patch).   
    In the meantime, If you compile your own kernels, you can get 3.2.x's to work normally- see my comment here for more details.   https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996
    Top of page doesn't say r8712u, but it's the same problem, and after the first 2-3 comments it deals with r8712u specifically.
    There is also info on the Gentoo forum 3.2 kernel quirks thread, towards the bottom of Page 1:  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-901702.html

  • [solved] DBus permissions? polkit? a lot of things do not work.

    Hello,
    here is the problem.
    i made some updates.
    after rebooting i started to get problems.
    I use KDE 4.9.3
    first, NetworkManager was not working. i realize that there were some problems with permissions and NW.
    in some way i was able to get it work and that's why i'm able to write here.
    but: wireless is not working at all.
    the error says:  "no session found for uid 1000 (unknown)"
    i cannot mount any kind of devices. the error says: "permission denided"
    if i try to change the clock setting, kde is no more asking me the root password. indeed, the change has not effect. no error displayed
    i really don't know where i could search for a solution.
    is a DBUS problem? it seems so.
    it's a problem of polkit? i found out that something happens in the last updates. i think that everything migrated to systemd and also there was something about polkit or policykit.
    can some of you give me some suggestions?
    do you have some ideas why i got this problems?
    thanks in advance

    yes.
    thanks.
    that was the problem.
    i followed the wiki and i found the solution. everything is solved.
    thanks.
    btw, i was thinking that everything was in auto-magic because
    1) i'm a newbie here in arch
    2) i found that the package was installed and, noticied that pacman configure the packages for you i convince myself that it did also for systemd.
    3) i read the news but nothing was talking about the fact that "you have to follow the wiki". so, i was wrong.
    thanks.

  • [solved] nm-applet does not show up in Gnome panel

    Hi all,
    I installed networkmanager, network-manager-applet and dbus this afternoon. As well as a fresh install of Gnome. This is all done on my laptop, which my wife wants to use now and then. I always set up the network CLI, but now I will need a nice flashy applet in the Gnome panel.
    I managed to run the network-connection-editor as root, and got the network up.
    I had some dbus problems when I tried launching nm-applet, but fixed it with a dbus-hack I found in some other thread. But when I now launch nm-applet, it says that there allready is an instance running of nm-applet.
    I guess it should show up in the panel, if it is. But I don't see anything there... Do you have any ideas of what I forgot to install/configure/check.
    Thanks,
    jocom

    There have been a couple similar posts recently. I'm not using Gnome anymore or networkmanager, so I don't know if there's a problem with it or not. If I remember correctly I had to install gnome-panel-bonobo, and I believe python-notify and gksu too. You can do a search on the wiki for networkmanager, there is a page for it that explains the configuration changes you'll need to make. Hope it helps.

  • Can't run KDE after upgrade

    I've upgraded glibsc, filesystem and migrated to systemd. I can't load KDE after it. I didn't find any info about KDE and systemd, but seems systed is the problem. KDM and initializations works without troubles, but kde plasma and desktop doesn't show up. Black screen or wallpaper and cursor is visible. Some of my daemon.log:

    Probably I need to show some other log? I'm not sure which exactly.

    I've dived into systemd and had some progress. One of problems was with conflict between udisk2 and udisk (both were loaded). As far as I understand KDE doesn't support udisk2, so I did systemctl disable udisk2.service. Now there are no failed units:

  • Upgrade to networkmanager breaks networkmanager applets

    The newest version of network manager breaks the applets - neither nm-applet nor knetworkmanager can connect via dbus. dhcdbd neither for that matter. What gives?

    Ok wait, I added myself to the network group.. Yes, I can now "use" network manager.  But it doesn't find any wireless networks!  It doesn't even know (I presume) that I have a wireless card!

    What is the output of iwconfig? Does it list your wireless card? If not, then check if the module is loaded for your card. If you use nsidwrapper, check to see what ndiswrapper -l gives you. You'll have to give a little more info than what you gave. What card/chipset do you have for starters? Post the output of lspci.
