[Bug 813139] Re: indicator-session-service crashed: Unable to get system bus

 

This used to occur when an instance of indicator-session would try to
register itself on the system bus but would fail for some reason -- say,
if there was already an instance running that hadn't let go yet, or if
there was an issue with the bus. Variations of this crash message
happened for various indicators.

This was fixed in 13.10 by demoting these messages from g_error() to
g_warning() so that a crash wouldn't occur, triggering a launchpad
report and exiting gracefully. It's then the responsibility of the
manager that launched the indicator to wait and try again. This is
currently being done by ted's upstart work on the indicators.
