Epiphany Won't Start Complains Dbus

When I try to start Epiphany I get this message:

I thought all I needed to do was start dbus, so I ran it:

/etc/init.d/dbus start

Then I tried to start Epiphany again, but the same message.

Anyone know how to fix this?

THANKS

I'm experiencing the same problem. Seamonkey works fine though. Only epiphany causing this. Some solutions on this thread.

Try starting Gnome with something like:

dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

Personally, I solved it on my box by using GDM instead of KDM...

For whatever reason, kdm wasn't running the stuff in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus and gdm was (and I don't know why, of course). Mildly annoying to a KDE-lover like myself, but no biggie.

Also had the same prob. Managed to fix it by modifying /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus.
