Paul, I had a very similar error message. As suggested by Henriƫl Veldtmann in bug #146946, installing the dbus-X11 package _in addition to_ the dbus package fixed the error. It seems like there's a missing dependency with one of the Gnome packages (gnome-session, from what I can tell, is the best choice).
Try installing dbus-X11 and see if that fixes it. -- [gutsy] gconfd starts with session, but apps say that gconfd can't be contacted and user settings are not loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139368 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
