Unfortunately the fix mentioned does not always work, at least on 8.04
I tried to apply the fix: run sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart then re-
run services-admin and re-enable dbus
on running gksudo services-admin I get
** (services-admin:6299) CRITICAL **: The permission of the setuid helper is
not correct
And... once again teh fatal.. the configuration could not be loaded.
Once dbus is stopped, for whatever reason, the network and other items
needed to upgrade or get repairs become innaccessible/unusable.
Essentially, stopping this servcie is immediately unrecoverable and will
force me to apply a complete re-installation of Ubuntu. Why not just
mark it with Click here to waste three hours hunting obscure
configuration defects and then enjoy a full re-install, kiss your data
goodbye
I have tried to follow the debate and direction being attempted here and
frankly it seems like a poorly thought out hack being forced in during
migration to 8.10. At the very least stopping dbus should come with a warning
that the user will probably have to perform a re-install to get a usable system
again.
This is extremely poor design and needs a decent fix asap... I love where
Ubuntu is going, but this kind of screw the user mantrap really sucks.

Too easy to accidentally kill dbus from Services settings and lock yourself out
of services
