as fallout from this: Gone a week, update hung, power cycled, now in emergency mode - #10 by czrpb

after logging in i am getting an error dialog saying:

Title: Unable to get connection to the message bus session
Detail: Error spawning command line "dbus-launch --autolaunch=BLAH --binary-syntax --close-stderr": Child process exited with code 1

thoughts anyone?

well, not sure if this dialog is coming this way, but i can get a very similar error via:

❯ blueman-manager                                                                                                                                       ─╯

Blueman applet needs to be running

researching isnt going well . . .

Is your bluetooth functioning properly?

ugh .. im worried i am too much a newbie for linux! :wink:

so, i dont know how to answer that since before my update issue, i usually just did:

super+shift+D -> type: bluetooth -> to run the Bluetooth Manager

but, because it doesnt run i researched how to run in the terminal, and hopefully that is blueman-manager.

example of more problems which means i should probably just blow away my current install and start again:

super+shift+D -> type: assistant -> to run Garuda Assistant

gives me a dialog: Elevated rights required for application function

running via cmd-line is no help, still gives error dialog:

❯ sudo garuda-assistant                                                                                                                                 ─╯

pretty sure it didnt do that before my failed update . . .

Please, post your inxi -Faz

systemctl enable --now blueman-manager

In addition to the inxi -Faz, maybe you could check
systemctl status dbus.service
and, in case of errors, start troubleshooting from there.
But this seems to be really technical stuff. Just an idea, I'm no expert there...

hi!

thx for the help!! i actually just reinstalled with the latest image. everything up and running it seems.

sure, i lost a bit of configuration, but all actual personal stuff is on a different drive yes?!! :laughing:

also, upgrading this way actually results in a nicer garuda: sure updates are supposed to do so, but the newest install definitely has a nicer feel so love it!!

is it just i get the newest cfg files? dont know, but great job!
