Package: terminator
Version: 1.90+bzr-1705-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am installing Debian on a new system and found that terminator did
not start. Running 'terminator' with no arguments on a command line
resulted in the following being printed to standard error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/terminator", line 105, in <module>
ipc.new_window_cmdline(optionslist)
File "/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/ipc.py", line 177, in _exec
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 211, in __new__

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 100, in __new__
bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 122, in __new__
bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch
terminated abnormally without any error message
I believe I already had `dbus` installed. I did not have `dbus-x11`
installed, and installing that fixed the problem.
