It's dbus-daemon that's actually trying to start them, probably because somethng is trying to talk to NetworkManager over DBus and NM is configured for bus activation. systemd is doing the right thing and refusing to start it when DBus asks it to, but that makes dbus-daemon error out. "rm /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager*.conf" will disable bus activation for NetworkManager and make the messages go away. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
