Fixing broken dbus from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 dist-upgrade

Wednesday, 30 November 2011 02:01 Written by Michael Wood

Well it looks like dbus is broken on my Ubuntu 11.10 server after doing a dist-upgrade. Possibly due to a third party script that didn't execute correctly.

Upon startup I get a message stating:

"Waiting for network configuration..."
"Waiting an additional 60 seconds for network"
"System will be booted without full network support"

Taking a look at /var/log/dmesg I can see the errors at the end of the file:
[17.029623] init: dbus main process (696) terminated with status 1
[17.029649] init: dbus main process ended, respawning
[17.030584] init: Unable to connect to the system bus: Failed to
connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
[17.057128] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (702)
terminated with status 1

Using Secure FTP is a great way to add security to your site. Regular FTP sends the username and password in plain text. To Secure your FTP connection there is two choices SSH and SSL. SSH uses a secure shell.
