greetings.
while using rsync to copy /root/* from tower box to laptop computer, i
accidentally over wrote .dbus/sessions-bus/[fn] on laptop computer.
ran extensive web search, including;
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
to find how to replace or recreate file, only to find everything about
what it does and why.
question is, how do i recreate, short of re-installing from .iso?
have not rebooted laptop system.
need help in a BIG way.
any and all help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

AFAICT, the text file in ~/.dbus/sessions-bus/ is named after the
machine-id and contains a few lines similar to:
[code]
# This file allows processes on the machine with id [[your-machine-id-here]]
using
# display :0.0 to find the D-Bus session bus with the below address.
# If the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable is set, it will
# be used rather than this file.
# See "man dbus-launch" for more details.
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-[[random-string-here]],guid=[[your-personal-dbus-session-adress]]
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=[[the pid of your personal dbus instance]]
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID=[[your top-most window id]]
[/code]
as neither this file nor the directories ~/.dbus/sessions-bus/ are in
/etc/skeleton, I must assume that they are recreated at user-login, if
they are missing or contain invalid information.
IOW, remove the file, login, and it should get recreated.
