GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hi at all!
When I run:

sudo caja

Error message:
**

Could not inhibit power management: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Name "org.gnome.SessionManager" does not exist

**

How can I fix that?

Is this actually a fatal error or is it just an annoying message?

Are you attempting this command under the full MATE desktop, under another desktop environment, or at a plain command line "virtual terminal"?

The command works for me running MATE in full.

MATE full 20.04 LTS.

I'll ask you again:

Because when I run sudo caja, I get no errors or warnigns, until I for example copy a file. Then it presents me with this warning:

** (caja:1639): WARNING **: 20:27:32.540: Could not inhibit power management: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Name "org.gnome.SessionManager" does not exist

This should not be a fatal error. It is very difficult to get DBus to work using sudo, unfortunately.

Strange. The warning message has now disappeared. No idea why.

Therefore, done.

I thought it was just a warning message and not a fatal error.

Nevertheless, it's good to see that the problem has disappeared.
