[Bug 1816630] Re: Gnome Control Center does not start due to GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut

2019-02-20 Thread Sebastian Wiesendahl via ubuntu-bugs
@Sebastien Bacher thank you very much for looking into this issue. I
don't know if it is worth tracking this further.

I just moved the /tmp directory back to the / partition, to avoid
further trouble. And this actually solved the issue.

Like they did here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=217072

where this was mentioned:
```
systemd[476]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning 
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd: Too many levels of symbolic links
systemd[1]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, 
status=226/NAMESPACE
```

I gave again full access `chmod 777 /tmp` and set the sticky flag `chmod +t 
/tmp`:

Nope, `/lib` is on the system's partition.

Besides / there is the /home partition

only those a symlinks:

`/opt`  -> `/home/opt`
`/tmp`  -> `/home/tmp`

[Bug 1816630] Re: Gnome Control Center does not start due to GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut

2019-02-19 Thread Sebastian Wiesendahl via ubuntu-bugs
** Description changed:

  When I try to start the `gnome-control-center`, then it hangs after a
  few seconds.
  
  I recently changed the timezone due to travelling. I can login normally.
  
  Another source of the error could be, that I symlinked the `/tmp` and
  `/opt` directory to another partition.
+ 
+ At least I could adjust the timezone, as described in:
+ https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1286445#p1286445
+ 
+ with
+ ```
+ $ sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime
+ ```
+ 
+ But that does not solve the overall problem, that I can't start the
+ control-center:
  
  ```

[Bug 1816630] Re: Gnome Control Center does not start due to GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut

2019-02-19 Thread Sebastian Wiesendahl via ubuntu-bugs
** Description changed:

  When I try to start the `gnome-control-center`, then it hangs after a
  few seconds.
  
  I recently changed the timezone due to travelling.
  
  Another source of the error could be, that I symlinked the `/tmp` and
  `/opt` directory to another partition.

[Bug 1816630] [NEW] Gnome Control Center does not start due to GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut

2019-02-19 Thread Sebastian Wiesendahl via ubuntu-bugs
Public bug reported:

When I try to start the `gnome-control-center`, then it hangs after a
few seconds.

I recently changed the timezone due to travelling.

Another source of the error could be, that I symlinked the `/tmp` and
`/opt` directory to another partition.

```
