Description John Morrison 2007-10-15 22:00:47 UTC
When starting f-spot I get an error as follows: 

An unhandled exception was thrown: F-Spot cannot find the Dbus session bus.  Make sure dbus is configured properly or start a new session for f-spot using "dbus-launch f-spot"

When starting Banshee I get a warning: 
Dbus is not available. Your environment is not properly set up to use Dbus. Please fix your environment or run Banshee through dbus-launch. 

Unable to open the session management bus.


Output of commands to check if DBUS is running:

marplar@linux-m9ta:~> sudo /etc/init.d/dbus status

John, it seems that the _session_ bus is not running (even though the environment looks good).

Can you please send the output of 'ps axu |grep dbus-daemon'?

Thank you.
