DBUS doesn't start - Could not get UID and GID for username

Hi.
Today i installed Archlinux in other of my systems, but i have a problem. I installed the last dbus (dbus 1.4.16-1) and i putted it in my rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network crond dbus alsa)
but it doesn't start.
The error is:
Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: :: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [BUSY] Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: [FAIL]
So, i don't know what happen. In my other systems, i don't have any problem, only with this fresh install.
Googling i found this solution from Chakra's wiki:
Could not get UID and GID
If you get the following error while starting DBUS:
Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
then add the user like so:
# groupadd -g 81 dbus
# useradd -c 'System message bus' -u 81 -g dbus -d '/' -s /bin/false dbus
If i do this, can i funk my system?
Edit:
That solution works well. I don't kown if in the future maybe i'll have some problem.
Should i mark this post like "Solved"? Still i don't know what was the real problem.

i'm out today and as i haven't completed setup yet i can't upload log to phone to post it all.
the problem wasn't spotted until trying to set up NetworkManager and lightdm.
useradd and groupadd owned by shadow (4.1.5-4), it wasn't installed before dbus-core and avahi needed them though. not sure how install environment works, does it rely on installed version or installer versions?

I am trying to print a fillable form. It will not print and I get two error messages "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." Th latter is not true. Won't print all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted

I am trying to print a fillable form - - an application for a Chinese visa. It will not print and I get two error messages: "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." The latter is not true. Won't print at all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted.
Am using a MAC desktop and a Cannon PIXMA MX922 printer.
I need to print this form now that it is filled out? What can I do?

Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.
EDIT: I found it and did, but still not working.

Sorry, something's gone wrong. Could not get credit and pack information.

Every time I log in I see this message Sorry, something's gone wrong. Could not get credit and pack information. I have been to an EE store and they couldn't do anything there. So I called the costumers service and after 30 min on the telephone they told me the problem was fixed and I should just wait 24 hours before log in again. Today is been more than 48 hours and I still have this problem. I can't buy packages but I can pop up. How can I fix this problem?

Hi
Sorry to hear you are all having a problem.
Please Contact Us as the issue needs to be investigated.

"could not get an output file for the document (error RWI 00314)"

Hi
We are getting the following error when running the Webi Reports "could not get an output file for the document (error RWI 00314)". The issue seems to be related to Tomcat Memory Heap size, our Tomcat Java heap Size is 1024MB. We were able to resolve the issue by restarting the Tomcat. We cannot restart the Tomcat in Prod if this is happening frequently.
Can some one please suggest any other solution other than restarting the Tomcat frequently, our platform is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP3 with FP 3.1 our Wndows OS is 32 Bit.
Thank's for your help

Hi Sreeram,
Earlier i also faced same kind of problem.
To solve this kind of problems you need to shutdown the server.
second thing is when patches missed that time also you will get this kind of problem.
check j2ee connection is it properly working or not?

Heartbleed virus/vulnerability-I have been hearing about the "heartbleed vulnerability" and told to change all my passwords. Does this apply to Macs? I thought they could not get viruses and this was one of the reasons I got one.

Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?

I thought I read that anyone who bought a new iDevice on or after Oct. 1, 2014 could get the iLife and iWork apps for free on their iDevice and the same Mac applications would be free for any Mac with the same iCloud account. I purchased an iPad Air in January and got those apps for free on it, but when I bought a used Mac locally I can't get any of those apps for free? If it is possible to get those iLife and iWork apps on my Mac that way please tell me.

Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?
No, they said if you bought a new iOS device on or after September 1, 2013, the iOS versions would be free. And if you purchased a new Mac on or after October 1, 2013, the Mac OS versions would be free. The Mac & iOS iWork & iLife apps are separate applications for two different operating systems. Unless you purchased a new Mac after October 1, 2013, you will have to purchase them for your used Mac.

All VM's on hyper-v fail to start with ' guest could not initialize'

This afternoon I tried to startup a VM and got the message '<guest> could not initialize'. I checked some other VM's, the same message. I had a VM running, stopped that one and tried to start it again, the same message: 'could not initialize'.
I checked the bios, all settings are correct.
I uninstalled (turned off) the hyper-v feature, rebooted the machine twice, checked with CPU-Z to see if VT-X was enabled; it was.
Turned hyper-v on again, rebooted. And I still have the same error message....
I have seen this error on the forum, but sofar I have not found an answer.

Hi Rolf,
How about the current situation? Did you confirm your consideration?
Please note to backup your registry before doing any changes on registry.
And then I also would like to suggest you read this blog that is aiming at this kind of issue:

When attempting a sync with my iPod Touch gen 5 I get this error "The iPod "****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I could not find the backup file to delete per researched support recommendation. I have synced this iPod.

"....could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have synced this iPod with this MacBook Air about 6 weeks ago. Now it won't sync. A possible solution is to delete the backup file located in Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ However, I don't have a "MobileSync" folder in my Application Support folder. Please help.

Error Message: Code could not be generated successfully for the VI

I created a simplified model of an 8-pole DC servo motor with friction brakes that drives an actuator through a gear train. I can't get past the subject error message. The error is about the VI named ""Sermat 3-Phase 8-Pole Motor with Friction Brake"" in the package attached. One thing I noticed is that when I make any minor modification to this VI, even a trivial one (like multiplying a signal by a gain of one, or changing the value of a gain from a to b) the VI stops complaining for a while and simulates/runs well. But as soon as you close the VI and open it up again, it goes back crazy on you again.
I appreciate if someone can guide me as to why this happens an what am I doing wrong here. Appreciate the help :-)!

Akif

I am getting this same error which you have already helped somebody else with. Could you be kind enough to help me too. I am attaching my VI, it contains only a Mathscript node whose commands work perfect when typed individually on the Mathscript window.

i could not get my developer license for windows 8.1. The system told me that it could not access the network despite my connection working perfectly fine.

Hi francisykl
Could you share me a screen shot about the detailed error message in your side? Which way did you use to get the license?
Whether the user is the admin in your windows Environment?

Quicktime could not be verified and expanded

I get the update that there is a new QT version to be installed.
When I click ok to download it and install it, it downloads fine and then when it tries to install I get the error message :
"Quicktime could not be verified and expanded. Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/temporary items/com.apple.softwareupdate"
All other software updates install just fine.
I have run the disk utility several times to restore permissions to the drive.
I have 10.3.9 with 5.5Gb available.
HELP

Hi, perhaps you installed QT as a different user (maybe an admin user)? I've had some updates that I had to run as an admin user, or as root because of permissions, though not QT. Try being an admin user or root and downloading this upgrade. You should have no problems.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.

Linda Li
