[Bug 694279] Re: GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.1/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL), when running as root

 

i had the same error while trying to open gedit on linux mint.

just exit from the root access and try doing the same in the normal
account(non-elevated) user.

that solved my problem

Bug description:
  This almost certainly isn't a bug in qbzr directly, but it is stopping
  me from using qbzr as I would wish to....

  Sometimes I want to run 'bzr qlog' on my /etc/ directory, which is
  managed by etckeeper/bzr.

  This used to work in some previous Ubuntu release, but in maverick, it
  dies as follows:

  root@chimaera:/etc# bzr qlog
  **
  GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.1/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
  Aborted

  It's possible to work around this by running 'dbus-launch bzr qlog',
  but this is a little obscure, and should not be needed.
