Description Andrew Walker 2011-06-06 15:13:56 UTC

I've had major trouble with dbus errors after upgrading to dbus-1.4.8-r1 KDE was taking ages to start up, processes within KDE would also take forever to begin and USB devices wouldn't connect. I've masked the package and reverted to dbus-1.4.6 and everything is working correctly again.
The errors I got in kdm.log are as follows

klauncher(32635) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
kdmgreet(32629)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed:  "Not connected to D-Bus server"

Dbus was running and restarting it made no difference.
System running on ~x86_64


Reproducible: Always

Try dbus-1.4.10 instead, 1.4.8* is now unused in tree and will never go stable.

Upgrade to dbus-1.4.10 cured the problem. Problem solved, many thanks.
