Package: dbus Version: 1.2.24-2 Severity: important Hi, I noted on 569058 that the problem seen in 569058 is not restricted to btrfs filesystems. Since you have closed that bug I feel that it is important to open a new bug, because this problem is still occuring for me, on every single upgrade of dbus on any of my computers.
Basically, if I don't chmod a+x /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper then very little of my desktop environments work: pulse is broken, menus are broken, launching apps is broken. Basically, the entire gnome desktop is broken (not surprising given how much is dependent on dbus). The only hypothesis I have (because I am NOT using btrfs, I am using ext3 on LVM) is that it's actually to do with LDAP in some way, because all real local users are actually in an LDAP repository. I would guess that somehow that's breaking the helper's user credentials (though the messagebus user _is_ a local user, not an LDAP user). Given that I see this on at least 2 different desktops, I think it's pretty reproducible, and spans many versions of dbus now. (I think the last working version of dbus was about 1.2.16) Thanks Christian -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dbus depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip dbus recommends no packages.
