greetings.
while using rsync to copy /root/* from tower box to laptop computer, i accidentally over wrote .dbus/sessions-bus/[fn] on laptop computer.
ran extensive web search, including;
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
to find how to replace or recreate file, only to find everything about what it does and why.
question is, how do i recreate, short of re-installing from .iso?
have not rebooted laptop system.
need help in a BIG way.
any and all help/suggestions greatly appreciated.
tia.
AFAICT, the text file in ~/.dbus/sessions-bus/ is named after the machine-id and contains a few lines similar to: [code] # This file allows processes on the machine with id [[your-machine-id-here]] using # display :0.0 to find the D-Bus session bus with the below address. # If the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable is set, it will # be used rather than this file. # See "man dbus-launch" for more details. DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-[[random-string-here]],guid=[[your-personal-dbus-session-adress]] DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=[[the pid of your personal dbus instance]] DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID=[[your top-most window id]] [/code]
as neither this file nor the directories ~/.dbus/sessions-bus/ are in /etc/skeleton, I must assume that they are recreated at user-login, if they are missing or contain invalid information.
IOW, remove the file, login, and it should get recreated.

Yamaban, thank you for reply.
as 'user', logged out, logged in, nothing.
as 'root', logged out, logged in, nothing.
rebooted, repeat ed above, still no file.
