Could come from some custom script. Did you add anything to /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/ or to .bashrc of root?
And does the issue also occur when you use

Code: Select all

su -

to switch to root?
Please in both cases as root show the output of

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e dbus -e xfconf

But anyways, this is often seen with some XFCE applications, e.g. the mixer:

Means that with a simple su to root no dbus session is started for root, and hence the mixer or some other program that requires dbus will no run properly or at all.

You did

Code: Select all

su

I've asked you to do

Code: Select all

su -


instead. Don't you see the hyphen/dash/minus sign at the end?

As previously assumed:

Means that with a simple su to root no dbus session is started for root, and hence the mixer or some other program that requires dbus will no run properly or at all.

So it can be ignored. Also you should better stick to using su - as good practice.
