[Devin Nie]

[root@localhost tables]# unetbootin
**
GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
Aborted (core dumped)
[root@localhost tables]#

my environment:fedora 14 gnome, the same issue on kde.
but unetbootin works fine on ubuntu 10.10.

i hope the bug will be fix as soon as possible.
thank you,buddy.

谢谢!

You should not run unetbootin as root user; instead log in as a non-root user and run the following command:
gksudo unetbootin
# or try su with a dash:
su -
unetbootin
# or:
su username -c "dbus-launch --exit-with-session unetbootin"

Due to recent security changes in Fedora and other distributions, root users cannot provide applications with dbus connections, therefore neither session management nor gio functionality are available, which is needed for unetbootin to work. In any case, this is the behavior of the operating system which we cannot change. See http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1420900 for details.

also in effect in suse 12.1
and thank you for the workaround arpad it worked a charm
su username -c "dbus-launch --exit-with-session unetbootin"
also under suse ime eject usb drive via gui then in cli
#mkdir /media/flashdrive
#mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive

all is happy after that :)
