I found some of the related bugs when I experienced several of the
mentioned symptoms (restart button doesn't work, Ubuntu Software Center
doesn't work, can't open users-admin, etc). I'd just like to report
that #26 fixed all the problems.
I was experiencing said problems on a fresh install of
Michał, Kaulbach: edit /etc/passwd and replace 108 with 107 in the
messagebus line, that should fix it.

Title:
Fails to run
Indeed, the log shows D-Bus was upgraded during the process, so maybe it's the
install script that messes with GIDs...
upgrade libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.2
upgrade dbus 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.2
upgrade dbus-x11 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.2

Natty with all updates applied as of 15 minutes ago today started generating
this same error for me, may be some regression

mike@acer64:~$ grep messagebus /etc/group

I have the same problem as David on 2008-11-28. Instead of an update, I
had major, hardware-induced series of crashes. After hardware repair I
saw identical problems, i.e. all D-BUS dependent applications refusing
to run, all the earlier-reported symptoms, including this:
# cat etc/passwd |grep
I reinstalled 'dbus' and this cleared the error but I'm seeing strange
behavior.
Logged in as a regular user.
Time and Date: all greyed out and you are not authorized..., no prompt
to enter root password.
Users and Groups: can only change Password for current user, the other
Change buttons do
It did not seem to matter that the launcher was group as 'messagebus'.
It still generated the error even after I changed the group.
In my case it was a fresh install of Ubuntu Lucid server and followed by
an install of ubuntu-desktop. Those were the main packages.
