Hi, > Does it make any difference? What's the rationale behind this request?
According to dbus NEWS file, dbus-user-session provides systemd units for a per-user bus listening (in effect, treating all concurrent graphical and non-graphical login sessions as one large session) > dbus-session-bus is a virtual package, which is also provided by dbus, so > that's most likely going be fulfilled by dbus if used as a dependency, also > dependencies against virtual packages need to be given a non virtual > preference. Probably depending on: dbus | dbus-session-bus would work. The recommended way seems to be: default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus , which is already used by cinnamon-session, but not by gnome-session-bin. And the binary package dbus itself doesn't provide dbus-session-bus. > But breaking the session dbus for our users wouldn't be nice so this needs > a somewhat thorough testing, in an enviroment with only dbus installed, with > only dbus-user-session installed, with only dbus-x11 installed, etc, checking > for differences in each session. So now we only have to test dbus-x11 and dbus-user-session. There is a check for dbus-user-session in dbus-x11 file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch, so in theory dbus-user-session replace dbus-x11 if they both get installed. I haven't encountered any difference when using only one graphical session. Anyway we can default to dbus-x11, and allow users to switch to dbus-user-session for a testing purpose. Thanks
