Hang on, that was an error of mine, it's "User1000", not "User/1000":
$ python -c "import dbus; o=dbus.SystemBus().get_object('org.freedesktop.Accounts', '/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000'); i=dbus.Interface(o, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties'); print i.Get('org.freedesktop.Accounts.User', 'Language')" de The real reason is that this crashes as root, when os.getuid() == 0, and Accounts/User0 does not exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827176 Title: fontconfig-voodoo crashed with DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/827176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
