[Bug 521407] Re: dbus does not start after reboot

[Ivan Angelov]

I confirm the bug, which Laurent is experiencing.

After upgrading from natty to oneiric it seems, that dbus does not exit
cleanly upon shutdown/reboot. As a result /var/run/dbus/pid and
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket are present upon the next system boot,
which prevents dbus from starting up.

$ apt-cache policy dbus
dbus:
  Installed: 1.4.14-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.4.14-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.4.14-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt-cache policy libdbus-1-3
libdbus-1-3:
  Installed: 1.4.14-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.4.14-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.4.14-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

However, I am not sure if we should open another report, since this one
might be different than the one originally reported here.

Title:
  dbus does not start after reboot

Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dbus

  I recently upgraded one Ubuntu box from Gutsy or Hardy to Jaunty.
  DBus no longer starts at boot.  This has two major symptoms:

  * The avahi daemon no longer starts, hence it's not possible to SSH in using a ".local" hostname (bug 519917).
  * GDM starts,  but the X server doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse input.  Ctrl+Alt+F1 to log in at the console also doesn't do anything.

  My workaround so far is to SSH in from another computer (using a
  fully-qualified hostname or IP address) and execute "/etc/init.d/dbus
  start ; /etc/init.d/gdm restart".  That sequence runs fine and solves
  the issues,  until reboot.

  # apt-cache policy dbus
