My mistake. I hope I got lucky. For better or worse, I've routinely been using the su command after logging in, although I've become aware that I should stop doing that. > Take a look at ls -l /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/ > The permissions should be > -rwsr-xr-- 1 root messagebus [...] dbus-daemon-launch-helper > Have they changed, and to what? The permissions are -rwxr-xr-x I'm guessing I need to type (as super-user) chmod u+s dbus*per and chmod a=100 dbus*per but my numerous mistakes have led me to wait before trying further experiments.
