** Description changed: + bonobo-activation-server processes persist across desktop sessions. + Unfortunately, its environment is only good for one. In particular, + DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS becomes stale after the first logout. + + This causes any process that is started by bonobo-activation-server to + have a stale environment, and hence not be able to use the session bus + correctly. + + Response from applications varies from silent failure, to error + dialogues and process crashes. + + Affected Software: + • Inhibit Applet + • Music Applet + • Cohoba + • Keyboard indicator + + -- Original -- + I had just made some changes to my xorg.conf, logged out, killed the X server and logged back in to find that my keyboard indicator applet and music applet failed to work properly. The keyboard indicator wouldn't load at all, and I got the (scary) dialog with the "Don't Delete" and "Delete" buttons. When I attempted to launch rhyhtmbox using the music applet, nothing happened. I logged out again, killed the X server again, and logged back in. Same result. I logged out one more time, killed the X server, switch to a terminal and did a "ps axu |grep burner". I saw an evolution data server process and bonobo-activation-server running. I killed the bonobo-activation-server process, logged in, and all was back to normal.
-- bonobo-activation-server doesn't exit after logout, prevents panel applets from running on new login https://launchpad.net/bugs/90923 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
