Just for clarity on the architecture here and what was happening: This is the greeter command line: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter- session /usr/bin/unity8-greeter-wrapper /usr/bin/unity8-greeter
lightdm-greeter-session is a standard wrapper for greeters, used in the Desktop images too. This is what actually calls dbus-launch, if available. unity8-greeter-wrapper depends on dbus-x11, so that dbus-launch is available in the above script, so that we can assume we are already inside a working dbus session. This is why the gdbus calls etc are no problem here. unity8-greeter is of course the actual executable. So there is no problem with unity8-greeter-wrapper and dbus. The reason we were seeing double dbus-daemon in the user session was because of another LightDM wrapper, /usr/sbin/lightdm-session, which is used only for user sessions. This assumes X11 and manually calls the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ which when dbus-x11 is installed, also launches its own dbus-daemon (in addition to the one that the user's dbus upstart job does). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325882 Title: unity8-greeter-wrapper needs a re-org to not use dbus-launch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1325882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
