I just felt the need to point out that unity8 doesn't really even use HUD any more (as of a week or so ago, the gesture to invoke HUD was disabled).
So if HUD failing to load due to DBus failure blocks unity8 startup, we could probably just cut a few more cords in the unty8 codebase to prevent the HUD UI component from attempting to initialise HUD. Either by deleting the UI components, or by ensuring they don't load. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to hud in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316978 Title: ubuntu-touch-session needs to be able to start even if the homedir is filled to 100% Status in Ubuntu CI Services: New Status in “android” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-touch-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When the ~/phablet tree has media files added to it by the user, it is possible for the storage space to be filled, and consequently for the device not to boot. From the OEM project bug: "After further investigation this problem was caused by the following: 1) Files were pushed to ~phablet/xxxx 2) The files filled the home partition completely 3) Upon a restart of the phone the upstart session job /usr/share/upstart/sessions/dbus.conf is attempted 4) Because the partition is full, the final line of the pre-start stanza fails as $HOME/.cache/upstart/dbus-session cannot be created 5) As there is no running dbus session instance unity8 fails to start Clearing space on the home partition allows unity8 to start again." Posted here, since following discussion in #ubuntu-touch it has the same underlying cause as bug #1270248, also reported on this package. Raised as a separate bug, because this was caused by user action, rather than simply the system failing to do log housekeeping.
