Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

When I login the system (by the graphical login interface), it shows an error with the following:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The last error message was:

Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in
