Magneto crashes directly after starting [Solved]

[udiljak]

Hi.

Since quite some time (I don't actually know if it ever worked) the Magneto Update Notifier crashes directly after starting it.
When I start it in the console I find the following output after the crash:

ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.135:/notifier: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.134" (uid=1000 pid=1767 comm="/usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/lib/entropy/magneto/magnet") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member="Introspect" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination=":1.135" (uid=0 pid=1769 comm="/usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/libexec/entropy-updates-s"))

Is this a well-known problem?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It works as root! I tried adding several groups (entropy) to my user, but magneto still fails to start!

Hi.

The error occured because I accidently removed many groups from my user. So I just had to add the user to some groups and logout or reboot so that the changes take effect. I guess the important group is 'entropy'.

Cheers!
