nvidia-prime doesn't use dbus, not directly at least (it can use policykit on demand)
What I see from the backtrace is that ksmserver gets an _XIOError, which I assume ksmserver handles with its own Xio_ErrorHandler(). Returning from the error handler causes ksmserver to exit. If you want to get around this, you can either use xcb (instead of xlib), or do what they suggest here: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-July/011539.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291526 Title: could not start ksmserver with nvidia-prime at next login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1291526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
