My guess is some code in the installation process running as root with $HOME set to "/" is trying to connect to the DBus session bus. For compatibility with some unfortunate scenarios libdbus will attempt to auto-launch a bus using dbus-launch which will then create ~/.dbus. I assume pulse is similar (ideally pulse uses dbus, then we only have this bug once, but that's another discussion). Something trying to talk to the session bus sound familiar to anyone working on the installer? If we can set $HOME to /root that would sidestep most of the issues, alternatively in libdbus we could avoid autolaunching for root, since it should never be needed. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
