modem-manager[898]: Could not get the system bus. make sure the message bus daemon is running! message: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connection refused

Is the error that I'm getting, several times at boot time. Then I get a messaging saying that the system will wait for 60 more seconds as a failsafe, then the screen goes black. None of my servers are running .. apache, samba eta .. If I ctrl-alt-F# I can drop to TTY, but ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I'm at a total loss..

My server is totally unusable... Can anyone shed some light on this?

I do not ever use a modem... can I totally disable this? If so, how?

I don't know if this can solve your problem but it's worth checking...

I'll have to give that a shot when I get home, but I have hunch that that might solve my issues...

Thank you for the link!

I like the final comment...


They migrated to new paths, without bothering to fix them. "Circus" - should be considered as the next version name.
