A better fix is to run: sudo apt-get install qdbus This will remove an existing 32-bit package and replace it with 64-bit. After running this, it worked fine for me without needing to change the quotes in startkde.

I do not understand why this bug is still present!!! I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.01.1 right after the point release. After the upgrade I couldn't start KDE because of a buggy startkde script. Yesterday I upgraded again this package and startkde is still buggy! In line 'alias qdbus="QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus"' the double quotes have to be removed.

[Bug 1304805] Re: KDE desktop login failure: "Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?"
Some details may have changed since April, but the problem remained. After upgrading to Trusty yesterday, I got the same unpleasant message with qdbus. In my /usr/bin/startkde file, the crucial line reads: alias qdbus="QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus" After removing the quotes, KDE launched successfully, but this simply means that it actually works WITHOUT qdbus! Removing the quotes makes a substantial difference! Without quotes, the command alias: * sets qdbus to be expanded to QT_SELECT=qt4 * lists the alias for qdbus Thus, the program qdbus is no longer called. With quotes, however, the command qdbus first sets $QT_SELECT to qt4 and then calls the qdbus program. It would be probably more acceptable to write: alias qdbus="QT_SELECT=qt4; qdbus" Though I do not exactly know the role of qdbus, I suppose that KDE may once crash when it really needs it. It may be a good idea to have it anyway. After entering qdbus in the command line, I got the following message: qdbus: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbus': No such file or directory This all happened on my 64-bit computer. On the other hand, I have another 32-bit computer, where there were no problems with qdbus. Thus, I concluded that the qdbus library has been only written for the 32-bit architecture. As a result, my solution is: sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin sudo chmod a+rx /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbus /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbus At least in my case, it works! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304805 Title: KDE desktop login failure: "Could not start d-bus.

[Bug 1304805] Re: KDE desktop login failure: "Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?"
It is true that removing the quotes in the line qdbus=QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus Gets around "Could not start" issue. However, a better fix would be to leave the quotes in place and further down start up qdbus with an eval statment: qdbus="QT_SELECT=qtr qdbus" ... if eval $qdbus >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then ... Plus the other places where "$qdbus" is invoked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304805 Title: KDE desktop login failure: "Could not start d-bus.

[Bug 1304805] Re: KDE desktop login failure: "Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?"
it seems to me the following syntax: A=B=C D in dash will execute "D" with the environment variable "A" set to "B=C", so the line: qdbus=QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus would run "qdbus" once, and set "qdbus" to "QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus": $ qdbus=QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus :1.0 com.ubuntu.Upstart ... org.freedesktop.DBus $ I'm not sure that qdbus is started properly with this fix, and I guess that startkde works now only because $qdbus now returns true, as any assignment.
