I was trying to use gedit, when I came across the following problem:
myPC@TM77:~$ sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config
(gedit:12512): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/myPC/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
(gedit:12512): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files
What is happening?
