[Solved] WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SessionManager

Hello, i'm having a problem since a while now with the terminal, when trying to access with CTRL+ALT+F2 and enter my user and passwd, keeps rebooting and when trying to access with the gnome terminal it sends:

cinnamon-session[8334]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SessionManager

and

 Could not acquire name on session bus 

If Anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

Re: [Solved] WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SessionManager

Currently i think that cinnamon is not supported on lightdm, possible this occurs because Cinnamon let to use gnome as a way to acquire the session.

Cinnamon 2.0.14 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME

Cinnamon 2.2.16 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=X-Cinnamon

Just a test using lightdm:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
--type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 \
/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetCurrentSession

Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '436'

Also we have a cinnamon-session instead gnome-session...

The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This
command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm, xdm,
or from your X startup scripts).

Same problems occurs also on ubuntu (that it's more close to lightdm).
I reported the problem on lightdm:

Good luck
