dbus_bus_request_name (): Connections are not allowed to own the service

I built a root filesystem on arm. It should run dbus-daemon and avahi-daemon, but when I try to run avahi-daemon 

$ dbus-daemon --system
$ avahi-daemon

I get this message: 

Found user 'avahi' (UID 4) and group 'avahi' (GID 4).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.6.28 starting up.
WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns! 
dbus_bus_request_name(): Connection ":1.0" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.Avahi" due to security policies in the configuration file
WARNING: Failed to contact D-Bus daemon.
avahi-daemon 0.6.28 exiting.

What is wrong? Is it about dbus configuration ?

Solution

  • I had a similar problem, in my case the default avahi-dbus.conf that come with my system packet system just lack the last " </policy> " before " </busconfig> " which triggered this error.

    I first thought the problem didn't come from this file since a rapid look at it is not enough to find this kind of syntax error.
