Description of problem: I ran "yum update" and now at every login I receive an error dialog: "Unable to determine the address of the message bus". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [zaitcev@niphredil ~]$ rpm -q GConf GConf2 dbus GConf-1.0.9-20 GConf2-2.14.0-2.1 dbus-0.90-8 [zaitcev@niphredil ~]$ How reproducible: Happens every time, but it's unknown what to do to reproduce on demand. Steps to Reproduce: Unknown Actual results: Error dialog (see attachement) Expected results: No error dialog Additional info: The dbus processes seem to be operating, but perhaps some /var/run file is missing or other dbus error. I have no idea how to narrow the bug down to the right component.

are you still seeing this? what's the output of echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS at a terminal? do you get to that dialog from a gdm login or text login followed by startx ?
No, this is gone now. Unfortunately, I do not remember exactly what I've done to get rid of this. It was not related to dbus, but rather to some GNOME thing. I forgot that I filed the bug, sorry. I should've updated the report. Now I think that I removed GConf altogether and that fixed it.
