Ubuntu – CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver

dbusgnome-screensaver

I received this critical error in my logs, but I haven't had any problems so far. If anyone knows why I get this error and what it means, I'd really appreciate an answer from you.

CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1

It appears to be a known bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736011
The only side effect I see mentioned is a delay in the login window propagating

Ubuntu – symlink for dbus headers

dbus include paths are meant to be retrieved by a call to

pkg-config dbus-1 --cflags

you can compile a program using dbus by

cc dbus-example.c -o dbus-example $(pkg-config dbus-1 --cflags)

make dbus-example CFLAGS+="$(pkg-config dbus-1 --cflags)"

dbus headers are included by the line

#include <dbus/dbus.h>

this "weird include paths" increase the flexibility towards future versions of dbus or other architectures.
