[Mageia-dev] DBus and automount problem with KDE

Sat Dec 22 06:53:02 CET 2012

I need some help debuging a problem with automount and DBus in KDE. For 
+example, a USB key is recognized in the log files, but won't mount or show 
+in Dolphin.  
+
+All was fine till a few days ago.  Gnome works as expected.  I suspect it's 
+related to another problem I'm having with DBus.  Here are some symptoms:
+
+]$ dbus-monitor --system
+Failed to open connection to system bus: The maximum number of active 
+connections for UID 502 has been reached
+
+When I go in to the "Actions Policy" in the KDE System Settings, it comes up 
+empty under KDE.  In Gnome, it is filled in with the policy settings.
