Does /usr/bin/dbus-daemon exist?
It exists: $ ls -l /usr/bin/dbus-* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 97248 feb 25 00:19 /usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12192 may 23 2005 /usr/bin/dbus-cleanup-sockets -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 596680 may 23 2005 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19832 feb 25 00:19 /usr/bin/dbus-launch -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14504 feb 25 00:19 /usr/bin/dbus-monitor lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 abr 19 00:32 /usr/bin/dbus-send -> ../../bin/dbus-send
rpm -qf /usr/bin/dbus-daemon If it is not owned by a package (which it should not be) then rm -f /usr/bin/dbus-daemon. Reboot and try again.
Solved! Thanks a lot.
