On a fresh install of feisty final, using no auto-login but instead waiting until all init scripts are finished and then logging manually in, I still get the error. I tried
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal
which gave me:
UUID file '/var/lib/dbus/machine-id' contains invalid hex data
On a fresh install of feisty final, using no auto-login but instead waiting until all init scripts are finished and then logging manually in, I still get the error. I tried
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal
which gave me: dbus/machine- id' contains invalid hex data
UUID file '/var/lib/
root@mango: /var/lib/ dbus# cat machine-id homedir- permission
Name: adduser/
Right, this doesn't look like a hex value ;) I don't know where this string comes from. I deleted machine-id and did
root@mango: /var/lib/ dbus# dbus-uuidgen --ensure /var/lib/ dbus# cat machine-id 55fa79e00464182 45
root@mango:
8084dbe5dda580d
This looks better.
root@mango: /var/run/ dbus# /etc/init.d/dbus restart
works now.
I'll try a reboot now to see if it still works or if my machine-id gets overwritten with invalid data again.
