I suspect that something is running power manager > before dbus comes up. D-Bus's session bus is started when X is started. The system bus is started when you start the machine. ps might be showing you the system bus. Can you post the output of ps -aux | grep dbus? If you don't reboot on d-bus upgrades this can cause problems if there were ABI changes. I don't quite follow what is happening. Is gdm (the greeter crashing) or is your desktop crashing so fast and restarting gdm that gdm thinks it is crashing? -- John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
