Unable to open the session message bus

[hanzomon4]

Binary package hint: dbus

I'm having problems with with certain apps not being able to "open the session message bus". I get this with banshee, last-exit, and probably others too. I discovered that "dbus-launch app-name" will get the app to start.

I'll attach the error message.......

This is in feisty fawn, I'm not sure how to specify that here.

Do you also have this with... say... "dbus-monitor --session"?
dbus-monitor is in dbus-1-utils

What does "ps aux | grep dbus" show? Does /etc/X11/Xsession.options contain use-session-dbus?

I get an error but it doesn't appear to be the same as the other error messages. I'll attach the out put of both commands...

Strange, after a reboot it appears to have fixed it self. I guess you can close this bug, I'll keep you posted if it ever returns.

This bug report is being closed due to your last comment regarding this being fixed with a reboot. Thanks again for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find.

Hi
i have nearly the same problem: After log in the gnome session is loading and i get the following message:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Failed to open connection to session message bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-2NfnU1GkS2: Connection refused

after a reboot al seems to be fine again. this problem happens 3 or 4 times a week.
