The only dbus "bug" here is that it outputs DEBUG messages to the system log, which IMO should be changed for final. The warnings aren't dbus fault, you should report separate bugs for upower and udisks about those. Elad Alfassa, Not a dbus developer.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 743344 ***
Okay, so we are waiting for debug messages to be deactivated in dbus?
There are also a lot of such messages in /var/log/messages: Oct 18 01:26:36 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 505 due to rate-limiting Oct 18 01:26:43 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 35 messages from pid 505 due to rate-limiting pid 505 is dbus-daemon
So looks like part of this bug related with udisksd and polkitd messages was fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743344#c11 Now only upowerd messages neddes fixing.
(In reply to comment #5) > So looks like part of this bug related with udisksd and polkitd messages was > fixed. > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743344#c11 Well, there are updates for it, sure https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/udisks-1.0.4-2.fc16 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/polkit-0.102-2.fc16 but someone needs to make sure these updates ends getting picked up etc etc. > > Now only upowerd messages neddes fixing.
Is there any progress with fixing such upowerd messages? dbus-daemon[524]: ** (upowerd:1543): WARNING **: Property get or set does not have an interface string as first arg
Please file a separate bug under the upower component for this issue.
maybe just reassign this bug to upower?
Done.
Still here, only now F-16 (with this bug) is released with this bug, and logfiles round the world are filling up with upowerd spam. Is there at least a workaround for telling upowerd that we're not interested in debug level messages?
Just noticed this bug today. Its flooding my log as well. (F16 with latest updates) I checked old logs, in old logs, it stops after few lines (most likely system boot time). But today it just goes on continuously. I wonder why? What does upowerd do anyway? Can I simply kill it? Any plan to update upower package for this? Thank you.
*** Bug 753431 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I dont see this bug if I boot my laptop after removing battery! i.e running only on AC. Just incase it helps identify the bug. Thank you.
(In reply to comment #1) > The only dbus "bug" here is that it outputs DEBUG messages to the system log, I disagree - if you're going to report a problem then you could at least provide some more info to locate the bug - how about telling us what property? Also, isn't there some way to avoid repeating the message? How about remembering that you reported it before?
Created attachment 550829 [details] strace capture from my machine. This should be about 2 minutes worth, four lines in messages.
Installed FC 16 yesterday and I already have over 4000 upowerd warnings.

I still get a warning every 30 seconds. On a laptop with minimal HDD space, this can be a problem. I attached an strace message if that can be of assistance.
Umm.. its not abt AC adaptor. I mentioned abt Battery.. if I remove battery and run only on AC adaptor then the messages dont shows up in logs (needs reboot)
Sorry, misunderstood.
I also have a lot of such messages - 2-5 in minutes. Is there at least workaround to mute it until it will be properly resolved?
I'm seeing the same on my Xeon workstation (connected to a APC PSU). This issue seems to be rather new. (Haven't noticed it in the past) FWIW, I'm using KDE 4.8rc (from kde-redhat). - Gilboa
I ran across this one today too after upgrading an F15 box to F16. Not sure if it is taboo or not, but I am just telling rsyslog to discard these messages until this bug is fixed. http://www.rsyslog.com/discarding-unwanted-messages/ So I created a file: /etc/rsyslog.d/01-blocklist.conf And added the following line: :msg,contains,"WARNING **: Property get or set does not have an interface string as first arg" ~ Annoying message problem solved. Just need to remember to remove this rule once the bug is solved. Hope this helps someone.
That last comment helped me, thanks. had to kill and restart rsyslog though
I'm still getting this warning (repeated many times) under Fedora-16/KDE ** (upowerd:1627): WARNING **: Property get or set does not have an interface string as first arg Linux fedora.linux 3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 13 20:35:42 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux udisks 1.04-3.fc-16 x86_64 Thanks.

This works. :msg, ereregex, "upowerd.*WARNING.*Property get or set does not have an interface string as first arg" ~ This page helps as well :) http://www.rsyslog.com/regex/
solution on comment 22 , works for me ...
Still seeing this in Fedora 17.
Same here. Problem still manifesting in F17. Fresh install, and I had to apply my work around from comment# 22. --Chris
There is a KDE bug with a patch which fixes the bad D-Bus calls generating the upowerd/udisks-daemon warnings. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293495
based on last comment is kde bug ? as anyone have this bug and don't use kde ?
I have this bug and KDE. But here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293495 bug has Status: UNCONFIRMED
I found this bugreport with Google since I am having on Fedora 17 a LOT of messages identical to Jul 12 12:38:44 computer-4 upowerd[1738]: ** (upowerd:1738): WARNING **: Property get or set does not have an interface string as first arg

Yes, 4.8.4 version
same here with kde / 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 I use the workaround from comment 26
(In reply to comment #30) > There is a KDE bug with a patch which fixes the bad D-Bus calls generating > the upowerd/udisks-daemon warnings. > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293495 Since is verified that is a KDE bug, we should change component. Maybe to kde-workspace where found "Product : solid" of kde bug report.
Is this bug still active after recent KDE updates? I can't find any warnings in my /var/log/messages for the past four weeks.
Confirmed. I no longer see upower / udisk events on the system log. However, my system log now contains 50,000+ udev xend messages [1], but this is most likely another bug, I think. - Gilboa [1] "RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules"
Yes, that's a bug in Xen.
seems that we can close this bug as fixed. It appears clear in my systems too.
Clear on mine as well. I removed my work around from comment #22 and the messages are no longer showing up.
So, in what Fedora releases is this fixed now? Rawhide (19)? 18? 17? 16?
17
(In reply to comment #43) > So, in what Fedora releases is this fixed now? Rawhide (19)? 18? 17? 16? Works for me in F16.
Looks like the bad D-Bus calls have been fixed in kdelibs 4.8.5 by Lukáš Tinkl (according to the bugs.kde.org report). Now in principle upower still could avoid spamming /var/log/messages in that way, but nothing should trigger the log spam anymore. So let's close this as fixed.
I just installed fedora 17 and I'm seeing this all over again!!
(In reply to comment #47) > I just installed fedora 17 and I'm seeing this all over again!! You need update kde (Looks like the bad D-Bus calls have been fixed in kdelibs 4.8.5 by Lukáš Tinkl )
Where do I get these updates? Apper doesn't show anything for kde.
