On a fresh build, GDM will not start when D-Bus 1.6.0 is installed.
The following error is produced when starting dbus:
Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory
However dbus-daemon does start.
I suspect this is something to do with not having systemd installed.
The following error from :0-greeter.log :
D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine
uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory
Installing D-Bus 1.4.20 and then re-installing D-Bus 1.6.0 fixes the
problem.
