Unpriviledge User --> Access Denied

[JP Lord]

Per the instructions, I added my user to the "timekpr" group, I logged off and back on again.

When using the regular launcher, the one for the active user, the status bar shows "Command FAILED: access denied" next to "Connected".

NOTE --> for this bug report and all the previous one, my configuration is:

It seems that dbus rules are not picked up, You need to restart the computer or reload dbus rules.

[Eduards Bezverhijs (mjasnik)]

Forgot to add a command: sudo systemctl reload dbus

This is needed when You just added Yourself to timekpr group and did not restart the computer.
The explanation - when timekpr is installed, it adds some rules for DBUS to limit access to Timekpr-nExT server. When You add Yourself to timekpr group, DBUS does not know that unless You restart computer or reload the rules.

Please post here if You still have this problem.

Good morning!

Just reloaded the dbus per your instruction. It now works. Great! Thanks!
