Comment 27 for bug 185752

This bug is still happening. I am running a 64 bit install of Ubuntu Hardy, but log in to a Fluxbox window manager (no Gnome Session running). I have not removed any of the Gnome packages, although many things typically running in the background in Gnome may not be running in my Fluxbox session. It does start if I run dbus-launch f-spot.

I'll try it in a Gnome session in a moment. dbus-X11 is installed. Creating the 15dbus file mentioned above does not solve the problem for me. My system is up to date.

My error is more or less identical to the ones posted above but I'll put it here for completeness.

An unhandled exception was thrown: F-Spot cannot find the Dbus session bus. Make sure dbus is configured properly or start a new session for f-spot using "dbus-launch f-spot"
