While the patch in comment #2 is a workaround for the dbus daemon, it does not solve the underlying problem, which seems to be caused by the migration from /var/run, /var/lock and /dev/shm to /run, /run/lock and /run/shm, respectively. (Check out the OneiricOcelot release notes here -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes?action=show&redirect=OneiricOcelot%2FTechnicalOverview.)
Moving the contents of /var/run and /var/lock to /run and /run/lock and symlinking /var/run -> /run and /var/lock -> /run/lock, as suggested in comment #40 to bug #856810 seems to fix the problem (along with a bunch of other problems). Thus, the patch in comment #2 is not necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786221 Title: Dbus fails to (re)start if `/var/run/dbus/` is present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/786221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
