Getting DBUS to work? about gwsl-source HOT 6 OPEN

I am not sure about what to do with the dbus button. I think I did it wrong and wonder if it works for that many people. Can you think of other ways to make it work? Also, I will push the changes I made to the helper.sh file soon. They are mid-progress but closer to working.

Made a script ...

at /usr/local/bin/gwsl-fix-dbus.sh

#!/bin/bash

ps -e | grep -q "dbus\-daemon"
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
  service dbus start > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

Then ran sudo chown root: /usr/local/bin/gwsl-fix-dbus.sh
and sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/gwsl-fix-dbus.sh

Made a second script ...

at /etc/profile.d/gwsl-fixes.sh

#!/bin/bash

sudo /usr/local/bin/gwsl-fix-dbus.sh

Then ran sudo chown root: /etc/profile.d/gwsl-fixes.sh
and sudo chmod 777 /etc/profile.d/gwsl-fixes.sh

Lastly, edited sudoers ...

via sudo visudo
and added the following line

# Fixes GWSL dbus not starting issue
ALL ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/gwsl-fix-dbus.sh

And then optionally restart Ubuntu, or start up another session (via an app or terminal)

This may be helpful to script the visudo part.

The main advantage of this is, it doesn't rely having to be put in every user's profile, and it should start up only when it needs to, and every time ubuntu gets started.

Not sure how much of my scripts can be used in other distros though.

Thanks! Hmm. I'll look into it. I don't really want to edit sudoers so I currently just ask for the password every time a shortcut uses dbus. I gtg afk

No problem 👌🏻
