[root mythtv ~]# gdm

** (gdm-binary:1640): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager

** (gdm-binary:1640): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
[root mythtv ~]#

Hmmm, didn't work - so, a dbus security policy - if I disable selinux
would that rule out such I think.  I was running selinux in permissive
mode before the upgrade, so assume I am still...

[root mythtv ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   permissive
Mode from config file:          permissive
Policy version:                 24
Policy from config file:        targeted
[root mythtv ~]#

Looks like it.

Is there some other sort of security police that might be affecting
/etc/dbus-1/system.d ?

Many thanks.
Regards,
Morgan.
