I reinstalled 'dbus' and this cleared the error but I'm seeing strange
behavior.
Logged in as a regular user.
Time and Date: all greyed out and "you are not authorized...", no
prompt to enter root password.
Users and Groups: can only change Password for current user, the other
Change buttons do nothing and can do nothing with any other users.
Just for background info: The 'root' account on this machine is linked
to 'ubuntu' account sudo. And there is no password, when you 'sudo'
from ubuntu account it automatically goes to 'root' account without
password.
So, if I get into a terminal and from one of the regular user accounts do:
$ sudo time-admin
Then the time and date window displays fully accessible to all functions.
$ sudo users-admin
(users-admin:5154): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating asynchronously with the backends: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.
After about a minute, then the Users and Groups window displays fully
accessible to all functions.
But clearly there is still a problem.
