[Bug 786221] Re: Dbus fails to (re)start if `/var/run/dbus/` is present

[Ivan Angelov]

True. In that case my patch of /etc/init/dbus.conf will do the job, as
long as DBus has been (re)started using the upstart utility. However, if
DBus is quit after boot (e.g. while Xorg server is up and running),
other things will break, for instance Xorg. At least in my case it
breaks, not sure whether it is supposed to or that is yet another bug.

Title:
  Dbus fails to (re)start if `/var/run/dbus/` is present

Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dbus

  After stopping dbus with `sudo stop dbus`, the directory
  `/var/run/dbus` and its contents are still present. The next time DBus
  is started using `sudo start dbus`, the pid file (and socket?) is
  outdated. This causes issues with NetworkManager.

  Version:
  Kubuntu 11.04 Natty 64 bits installed from Kubuntu 11.04 Natty Alternate CD
