Just got this same problem. I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu Karmik 9.10.
could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-JkQLeZ2Kjq: Connection refused It then logs me out straight away. I've had that kind of behaviour several times since I got Karmik. Not sure if that would be related to the graphics card, an Nvidia, as I've got karmik in other laptops (with no Nvidia) and haven't had any problems so far. -- bonobo-activation-server : could not associate with desktop session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
