It seems like your ~/.dbus/
folder is owned by root
instead of by your own user.
If this is the case, you can:
Remove that folder, using:
sudo rm -rf ~/.dbus
Or:
Change the ownership to your-username / your-user-group using:
sudo chown -R your-user-name.your-user-group-name ~/.dbus/
Note: replace your-user-name.your-user-group-name
with the actual values, e.g. if your user is sal
and your group is also sal
than it will be: sal.sal
As @Pablo Bianchi added in the comments below, $USER
environment variable holds your-user-name (and in Ubuntu your-group-name is usually equal to your username) hence in most cases you can run the following command:
sudo chown -R $USER.$USER ~/.dbus/
More info regarding Ubuntu environment variables can be found here
ls -ld ~/.dbus/
? who is the owner of the folder?find ~ -user root
