[rkward-devel] Endless errors starting up org.freedesktop.dbus-system on OSX (Aaron Batty)

[Aaron Batty]

Thanks for keeping at it!

Welcome, by the way, to trying to get something UNIXy done on the Mac. The
documentation is always incomplete, if not entirely wrong. Apple spent 2006
and 2007 crowing about how OS X was certified UNIX, and then from 10.7 on
have been just changing and making things up left and right and not telling
anyone.

Same as you, basically:

drwxr-xr-x  12 abatty  staff  408 Sep 18  2013

Nope. Unfortunately, it just keeps steaming along with those errors every
10 seconds.
