[SOLVED]Could not sync environment to dbus

[holm74]

Hi all,

strange behaviour for 4 weeks now and still no solution.

I am running profile default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma/systemd (stable) on my laptop. As login manager I am using sddm.

When I want to login (from sddm) as user I am getting the message "Could not sync environment to dbus"

The workaround at the moment is:

1. Pressing F12 and F2 to get the console
2. Login via console with my user credentials
3. Press F1 to got back SDDM Login Manager
4. Type in the Password: once again I am getting "Could not sync environment to dbus" (and I klick ok)
5. NOW: once again type in the password AND happily I can see my desktop and work

I looked up the dbus jobs difference before failing and working with ps aux | grep systemd-activation

The only difference is that - after login - my system is able to add a dbus daemon:


myuser 3099 0.0 0.0 35944 3052 ? Ss 08:51 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only

So I think the is somehow a use flag missing which allows sddm to create the dbus daemon.

Use flag settings :

[ebuild R ~] sys-apps/dbus-1.12.2::gentoo USE="X systemd user-session -debug -doc -elogind (-selinux) -static-libs {-test}" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 0 KiB
[ebuild R ] x11-misc/sddm-0.17.0-r1::gentoo USE="pam systemd (-consolekit) -elogind {-test}" 0 KiB


Somebody has an idea?

Thanks in advance,

Holm

Can help this?

Hi fedeliallalinea,


thanks for your reply. I have seen it before, but I can not see a solution.

Just to mention: in make.conf I have consolekit enabled.

So what I did is recompile sys-auth/consolekit-1.2.0 and kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.11.5-r1 again. But nothing changed.


Do you have a quick answer what I am doing wrong. It worked all the time.


Thanks for any advice,


Holm

Thanks to RayOfLight from here


emerge --unmerge consolekit

was the solution.

Thanks,
