I suspect thunar or your xfconf setup just requires a proper dbus user session bus running, as many desktops do. But assigning to maintainer for consideration. Are you using it outside Xfce? (In reply to Michał Górny from comment #2) > Are you using it outside Xfce? I am. I'm using notion as a WM. It's always worked in the past, but I assume I just need to get something running properly in my .xsession. I'll search, but if anybody knows the magic incantation I'd appreciate it. Thanks! I believe dbus user session bus should just work if dbus is installed - as long as you don't shortcircuit the machinery by having a custom .xinitrc (which is often a bad idea - better to have a Session file for it and use that from DM or via XSESSION variable for startx). /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus has the magic I'm afraid this is a special case that we don't really support. If you'd like to have it fixed, I'd prefer if you filed it upstream yourself. Found the problem. I had installed the Anaconda python distribution, and it seems that Anaconda has its own dbus-launch that was being found instead of the system version. Ugh. Took the anaconda environment setup out of my .bashrc, and everything works again. Sorry about that! |
