Hi:

I just could started using the terminal, like you said , otherwise give an error:

systemsettings(16656): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: " Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply time out expired, or the network connection was broken."

systemsettings(16656): KUniqueApplication : Pipe closed unexpectedly.



First came that error und i repeated the command on the terminal, then Systemsettings started normally, then i closed und restarted normally.
Today the start normally was only using the terminal.

Please post the output of
Code: Select all
ps auxwww | grep -i dbus
after a clean boot, before you start systemsettings.
