unity-lens-video crashed with DBusException in __new__(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-sFPba6i7zb: Connection refused

[Mariusz Kozłowski]

[Impact]
It's one of the most report issues on errors.ubuntu.com

[Test Case]
No clear and easy test case sadly... Bug was 'just' happening. Only way of testing: just using and confirming that the given crash is not reported on errors.ubuntu.com in the new package version.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal; an untrapped exception is now being trapped and translated to exit(1), which is unlikely to break any expectations.

      (LP: #977158)
    - Exit on DBus hickup at startup, Unity will restart the lens (LP: #975023)

Hello Mariusz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity-lens-video into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-video/0.3.5-0ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
