So I have been trying to fix this for a couple of days. I found some solutions but they result in another problem:

Launcher helper exited with unknown exit code 1.

Every time I do something involving the dbus service. It starts giving the same error everywhere dbus error

I first encountered the problem on trying: netplan apply and results in the same failed to connect to dbus as above enter image description here

After restarting the ubuntu console, the failed to connect to dbus error is gone until I run anything related to it.

How can I solve this? Without it throwing the launcher helper exit code again?

I'm using WSL ubuntu 20.04 LTS

The try output of netplan shows this: https://pastebin.com/pMuypudS

The output of ps -ef | grep dbus: root

27     9  0 16:34 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto dbus

The output of env | grep -i dbus: Nothing

  • Did you do anything with python? Installed a new version, etc? – Pilot6 Nov 25 '20 at 07:40
  • No I dont use python, but I could try to install it, same problem after installing it. – S222em Nov 25 '20 at 07:52
  • can you show env | grep -i dbus and ps -ef | grep dbus https://askubuntu.com/posts/1295112/edit edit your question for that. – nobody Nov 25 '20 at 10:49
  • Does "running on windows 10" mean WSL? if so, I wouldn't expect the dbus service to be running. What did you modify in order to start it? – steeldriver Nov 25 '20 at 13:24
  • Yes that means WSL, no modifactions – S222em Nov 25 '20 at 15:33
  • I just found another solution: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start, that works and starts the dbus system succesfully, but now I get: 'Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1' again. – S222em Nov 25 '20 at 16:40
