Failed to connect to dbus service. Is it running?

[Danrancan]

I installed weresync on Ubuntu 20.04 Server using pip3 install weresync.
Then I ran sudo weresync-daemon & >/dev/null 2>&1 which returns:

[1] 16114

running it again returns:

[2] 16133 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/weresync-daemon", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('WereSync==1.1.5', 'console_scripts', 'weresync-daemon')() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/WereSync-1.1.5-py3.8.egg/weresync/daemon/daemon.py", line 37, in run with bus.publish("net.manilas.weresync.DriveCopier", DriveCopier()): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pydbus-0.6.0-py3.8.egg/pydbus/publication.py", line 42, in publish return Publication(self, bus_name, *objects) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pydbus-0.6.0-py3.8.egg/pydbus/publication.py", line 35, in __init__ self._at_exit(bus.request_name(bus_name, allow_replacement=allow_replacement, replace=replace).__exit__) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pydbus-0.6.0-py3.8.egg/pydbus/request_name.py", line 29, in request_name return NameOwner(self, name, allow_replacement, replace) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pydbus-0.6.0-py3.8.egg/pydbus/request_name.py", line 13, in __init__ raise RuntimeError("name already exists on the bus") RuntimeError: name already exists on the bus

I just can't get this to work without being thrown some sort of error no matter what I do. Is this even still under development or some sort of supervision? Please help!

@Danrancan Can you post the contents of /var/log/weresync/weresync.log and the results of fdisk -l (you probably want to make some gists for that.

I have since deleted my installation. However, I am in the process of spinning up a brand new clean installation. I will do some testing and report back to you. If you don't hear from me within a week, please send me a reminder or tag me in something so I don't forget.

@DonyorM I have since deleted my installation. However, I am in the process of spinning up a brand new clean installation. I will do some testing and report back to you. If you don't hear from me within a week, please send me a reminder or tag me in something so I don't forget. Also, I am very new to github and git. Can you recommend any tutorial for making gists the way you reqested? Not sure how gists differ from just posting the results in here. But I'm down to do things anyway you need me to bud.

I had to copy WereSync-1.1.5.tar.gz/dist/WereSync-1.1.5.tar/WereSync-1.1.5/src/weresync/resources/weresync-dbus.conf from v1.1.5 to /etc/dbus-1/system.d. Otherwise I had a permission error (GLib.Error: g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.74" is not allowed to own the service "net.manilas.weresync.DriveCopier" due to security policies in the configuration file (9))
But still I was not able to run sudo weresync-daemon & >/dev/null 2>&1.
As soon as I started $ weresync-gui I got

Job for weresync.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status weresync.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I could not find out what went wrong and gave up.
