I get now a slightly different error message when changing time in system settings: -------------------------------- Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 7, DBus Backend error: could not contact the helper. Connection error: Could not get owner of name 'org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock': no such name. Message error: Failed to setup environment correctly -------------------------------- ( the former Message error was: "The name org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock was not provided by any .service files" ) A remark about sysconfdir: in /etc/dbus-1/system.d there are files like "cups.conf", "hal.conf" , "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.conf" but nothing concerning dbus. Is that OK ? Thank you very much for your help, Edgar -- Dr.-Ing.
