What fixes that?

These messages might be old, but they might mean that you broke D-Bus. Applications, especially self-containing packages, may heavily rely on its availability.

Try to figure out at which moment such messages appear. Try "busctl --user" and "busctl --user status" as a sanity check.

Both of those get somewhat copious outputs, what should I be looking for? Should it name the app?

Looking in /etc/dbus-1, I see two dirs, one of which is empty:

gene@coyote:/etc/dbus-1$ ls -R
.:
session.d  system.d

./session.d:

./system.d:
bluetooth.conf com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties.conf org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.conf org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism.conf com.redhat.NewPrinterNotification.conf dnsmasq.conf org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.Agent.conf org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf sddm_org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf com.redhat.PrinterDriversInstaller.conf net.hadess.SensorProxy.conf org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.conf org.freedesktop.realmd.conf wpa_supplicant.conf

dbus has always been a puzzle to me. It has no man pages to explain its functions. Do you want to see the outputs of busctl? Under what conditions?

I see busctl does have a man page. Pretty complex. What should I check next?

Thanks Max.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
