Created attachment 720945 [details] Output of systemctl status user-11009.slice (In reply to Simon Lees from comment #27) > Just as a first point of checking is your uid 1000? Umm, no, sorry, I did not realize that 1000 stood for UID. I have attached output of systemctl status user-11009.slice > I've tested with both xdm and lightdm with openbox, fluxbox and > icewm which has resulted in dbus running everytime so I guess your > system must do something differently somehow. A better way to start > dbus would be "systemctl --user start dbus.service" I suppose that this is moot given the new systemctl output? > but this won't currently fix the emacs issue as its check for if > dbus is running is broken, the correct check is to see if > "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus" is owned the current uid. I see.
