UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi all

I have a tricky issue that i am not to sure on how to tackle

We have certain users that we a dbus session is run it does not create a ~/.dbus directory with the relevent files in it

i am not sure how to go about debugging it

thanks
Adam

How are the users running the dbus session? gives us some more detail/s please.

It is being called from a program we have created, but even if i run dbus-launch as them it does not create the files, is there a way i can test this

sorry for not giving more info i am new at this

thanks, your help is much appriacted

Can you post the permissions on ~/.dbus directory for a user for which it is not working? Maybe it is as simple as the right permissions on ~/.dbus directory.

Or you could try the following:

a) rm -rf ~/.dbus --- remove the users .dbus dir
b) mkdir -m 755 ~/.dbus as the user so that the directory gets the right permissions
c) launch dbus session and test if it works

the users that dbus is not working on there is no ~/.dbus dir
it gets created when the dbus damon scusffully starts/runs

So the dbus daemon fails to start as well? or does the daemon start successfully, but does not create a ~/.dbus dir?

The Damon starts, you can run ps -ef | grep dbus and see that it running, but the ~/.dbus does not created
