Bug Description

Using trusting indicator-power has a bunch of those errors in its logs (/var/lib/lightdm/.cache/upstart/indicator-power.log)
"Indicator-Power-Message: exiting: service couldn't acquire or lost ownership of busname"

Other indicators seem to have similar issues, e.g indicator-session has those and
"WARNING **: /build/buildd/indicator-session-12.10.5+14.04.20131125/src/backend-dbus/actions.c:196 on_screensaver_proxy_ready: can't connect : Connection refused"

(string might not be exact, I'm translating it there)

Should those be open on individual indicators or is there an infrastructur problem with the upstart jobs?

I get this message in saucy. My indicator stopped logging out and shutting down so I tried...

** (process:23381): WARNING **: exiting: service couldn't acquire, or lost ownership of, busname

I added a bunch of software/ppa's after a fresh install and can't pin down the cause... I definately did not add Cairo-Dock, which some googling reveals creates a similar *surface* issue. Is there a way to get the indicator behaving properly? /noob
