[SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

Hello,
I get the following message displayed in gnome.logs

gvfsd
A connection to the bus can't be made

Is that a concern?
Do I need to worry

Re: [SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

wtf is "gnome.logs"?
What does the system journal say?

Is that a concern?
Do I need to worry

Out of context?
"Maybe"

Re: [SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

sorry!
gnome-logs is a log-viewer...

system journal say

| grep

…

For a sanity check,

loginctl session-status
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRES

but don't grep the journal unless you exactly know what you're looking for.

Re: [SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

Sorry, "echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
Don't copy and paste output out of the pager, but the session is probably fine.
Post the entire journal.

Re: [SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

run-user-968-gvfs.mount suggests to me this is some technical side user of a program that triggers gvfs mount while not having the appropriate DBUS session, likely irrelevant, which user is 968 ? Maybe in addition to the full journal

sudo journalctl -b

check/post /etc/passwd (grepped for that id if you have privacy concerns, though that file does not contain any passwords)

Re: [SOLVED] A connection to the bus can't be made

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

This is when the lightdm session (not your users one) gets taked down and there's a pending gvfsd instance from the specific greeter.
=> slick greeter "bug", unlikely of any concern.
