Hey Forum,

I post so much about Dbus issues it seems it might as well get it's own index label :)

Of course logging in through tty then using startx command allows dbus connection to be made just fine as a workaround.

Error message the pops up after logging in thru DM:
Unable to get connection to the message bus session
Error spawning command line "dbus-launch --autolaunch=f55f8e1ef7e14af6aafc498f8e4a05f9 --binary-syntax --close-stderr":Child process exited with code 1

Check to see if my system is fine &let me know if i can output any other helpful troubleshooting info:

Old SDDM version 0.18.1-5 WORKS! It's the new version:0.19.0-3 that doesn't work for my system! sorry for the rabbit chase
** (lightdm:3895): WARNING **: 19:25:12.978: Failed to get list of logind seats: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
i'm a little confuse here, because you talk about sddm and the log show lightdm??!!?? and lightdm seems to be not enabled at any trees

EDIT: just tested the new version of sddm and something wrong and strange appear.... need to investigate
Pardon for the confusion, I need to know what service file for lxdm needs to look like in order to have dbus connection because it doesn't work when I start it from tty, but perhaps that isnt so important. Lightdm probably works fine if I start it from with the service file provided by lightdm-66serv rather than from tty.

Most important is issue with new sddm-0.19.0-3, which now doesn't load at all in my system. I'm using the old sddm 0.18.1-5.
ok, please sync and update, a new release of sddm is available on the obextra repo, it should works now
