How can I find where this dbus-launch error output is coming from? At first I thought it was related to motd but I currently have that disabled. X11Forwarding is turned off in my sshd_config as well as PrintMotd. It seems that something is trying to spawn an X session at login but I cannot find it. The server os is ubuntu 12.04. The pid doesnt exist when you go to look for it.

Using username "xxxx".

  • Solved: After much hunting through ~/.profile, ~/.xsession and more, I finally found an entry that was added under /etc/profile.d/script.sh. Inside script.sh was a call to gsettings like so gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///usr/share/backgrounds/picture-1920x1080.png Because this was put below /etc/profile.d it was even launching on an ssh login, since this login had no gnome-session to set a background, it would fail. So my 'mystery' output was actually occuring **after** my ssh login had already completed Simply commenting out the line solved my issue. – FeatherKing Mar 11 '14 at 20:53
