Description Mildred 2010-09-08 10:06:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

text console shells don't have a DBus session, this prevent using applications requiring a DBus session to work (such as the Tracker desktop search engine or other tools). The same applies to ssh shells.

This is in fact a duplicate of bug #367611 that was incorrectly closed (because it was assigned for F8 and support came to an end). I couldn't find a way to reopen it.

It's too insane to add d-bus directly to login(1), maybe ask for PAM module...
