This is a little bit off topic. It could be useful to launch the following services in our .Xsession. It is up to you to decide what you want or not: eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` gnome-settings-daemon # themes, resolutions ... gnome-power-manager /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 nm-applet # if you are using network manager eval `gnome-keyring-daemon` # for passwords /usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass update-notifier AFAIK update-manager requires the session dbus service and the polkit agent. http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819328 Title: [Oneiric] update-manager crashed with DBusException in _run(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
