I have recently updated to kubuntu 13.10 in 4 different computers, with 2 different partitions in each computer = 8 partitions. In two instances out of 8 I encountered this problem. At least one of them was a 64 bit installation.
The first case was a HP notebook, and a pre-release version of 13.10, that I installed in early March. The first upgrade from 12.10 went OK, but then a later update lead to this problem with the qdbus. At that time I got rid of the problem by installing qt4-dev-tools, if I remember right. Today I encountered the same problem the second time in a 64 bit installation. The distribution upgrade seemed to run normally, but when I started up the coputer in the new version I got this "Could not start D-Bus". This time I fixed it by running sudo apt-get install qdbus in tty1, which resulted in the installation of both qdbus and qtchooser and the removal of the old qdbus:i386 and qtchooser:i386. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827815 Title: Can't log into KDE, with error: Could not start D-bus, can you call qdbus?
