When I'm running
evince file.pdf
I got this error
Failed to get bus connection: Could not connect: Connection refused
Ubuntu 12.04
I have to reboot. Can I repair this error without reboot?

This message indicates that the D-Bus daemon has died. You need to restart it. Run dbus-launch.
Perhaps the daemon is still running but not responding. If that's the case, kill it, then run dbus-launch.
If the environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set, unset it. Most applications (I haven't checked about Evince) can find out the D-Bus address without it.
For more information, see Set environment variable for all of tmux shells when gnome-sessions gets restarted

I've seen this after launching bad lxc containers. This completely locked the hypervisor. Not even reboot worked then. I had to remove all related exports, kill dbus, init and systemd and then
dbus-launchfollowed byinit q. After this I was able to do a reboot again.Sprinterfreak– Sprinterfreak2018-12-08 01:14:34 +00:00Commented Dec 8, 2018 at 1:14
tmux. I have to wait until it begins again and tell you the result.
