Yes, I agree this isn't a bug so much as a "feature change"... A workaround as recommended upstream is to export the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS with the sudo command, i.e., sudo -u $USER DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS <command>
In the case that one is running a script that doesn't *have* the right DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable, it can be retrieved for an arbitrary user with the following snippet: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(sudo -u $USER dbus-launch --autolaunch=`cat /var/lib/dbus/machine-id` | grep BUS_ADDRESS | cut -d '=' -f 2-) -- gconfd does not refresh cache when sudo-ing current user to modify setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
