    dbus error and many instances of dbus deamon

    Hello people.

    I am new to this forum, so I hope i am posting this in the right forum.
    I have a problem at my work with Linux.
    I have been fiddling around with some network settings and services on our Linux machine here, and since today i started noticing that there were some popups concerning org.freedesktop.dbus. Also i think this has contributed to the disk utility not working anymore (it won't show any disks anymore)
    The popup tells me a dbus.error.limitsexceeded for uid 500 occurs
    I looked in the processlist and noticed that every process has spawned multiple times and dbus-deamon even a multiplication of that number. I am a total Linux noob, but this doesn't seem right to me.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Thanks,

    Marvin

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What version of Red Hat are you running?

    *newsflash*
    The original problem seems to be solved.
    Note to self, don't change too much at the same time in a system you don't fully understand .
    Somwhere yesterday i checked the vnc server as a startup app.
    This spawned numerous instances of vncserver. Once i unchecked it and rebooted the system, the copies of all processes did not spawn.

    That leaves the question, why does vnc server spawn so many times, in stead of one?

    How did you make it a "startup app"?

    I went through the main menu system -> preferences -> startup applications
    and checked the box before vnc server.

    Ok. That will create an instance of the server each time you login. Not what you want. The VNC server is a service, that should be started when the system boots, not when you login. There is ample documentation for VNC that will explain how to do what you want, such as allow remote access to the system from another computer using a VNC client. As I like to tell my clients, read before you click!
