sed: can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf: Input/output error












0















Following a guide on ZDNet here, I have been trying to get ubuntu desktop working on Windows 10. though one line of code has been giving me trouble.



    sudo sed -i 's/<listen>.*</listen>/<listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=0</listen>/' /etc/dbus-1/session.conf


was returning "can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf file or directory not found.



So I found a "/etc/dbus-1/session.conf" file online and added it. Restarted the bash and it found it, but this time:



sed: can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf: Input/output error



is what i get.



how do i fix this?

          • I solved the input/output error, (The issue was likely that I downloaded the file in a windows format and tried reading it with a Linux system. Only thing I could think of.) But the compizconfig issue is still causing problems I believe. I can open the UI settings. But when I try to launch the desktop, I get stuck at a black screen.
