Title:
  dbus does not start after reboot. stale files in /var/run/dbus/

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
