Bug Description
init-checkconf(8) fails if the user is logged in on a console only (no X session) due to the recent D-Bus behavioural change outlined in bug 812940. Error is:
ERROR: failed to ask Upstart to check conf file
The solution is for init-checkconf to:
1) Check to see if a dbus-daemon exists for the user invoking the script.
2) If not, have it run: eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax` and ensure the daemon starts.
Note that the script should also kill the dbus-daemon but *ONLY* if it was not running when the script first started.
