Package: dbus-x11 Version: 1.12.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The following problems started after dist-upgrading from jessie to buster: 1. startx takes a lot of time to launch X; 2. gnome-terminal doesn't start. The problems happen with a ~/.xinitrc as short as just "exec i3". In journalctl, I found 2 famous messages: - gnome-terminal-server[18005]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused - Failed to activate service 'org.gnome.Terminal': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms) After reading many search results, the best I could do was to add "dbus-update-activation-environment --all" in the first line of ~/.xinitrc. But it seems to be just a workaround. I also ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" and rebooted as the first attempt. As to problem #1, I have no clue. Note: the workaround also made it possible to start redshift and dunst services without changing their service files. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dbus-x11 depends on: ii dbus 1.12.2-1 ii libc6 2.25-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 dbus-x11 recommends no packages. dbus-x11 suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95dbus_update-activation-env changed [not included] Note: I just added some "echo"s for debugging. -- no debconf information
