DBusConnectorException: DBusConnector: not primary owner (2)

[Koalaman 1]

Hi, I am always getting this error when I SSH into my Raspberry Pi and try to do stuff with Goldcrest. I have already added "Jack" to the AirVPN group. But it still doesnt work, same error. 

jack@jack ~ $ goldcrest --disconnect
Goldcrest - AirVPN Bluetit Client 1.3.0 - 1 June 2023

2023-11-24 17:00:26 Reading run control directives from file /home/jack/.config/goldcrest.rc
2023-11-24 17:00:26 DBusConnectorException: DBusConnector: not primary owner (2)

Any ideas?

Hello!

"Not primary owner" hints to some other Goldcrest process already running, can you please check?

Kind regards

Hello!

The command to disconnect a session is valid if no other Goldcrest process is already running. By Suite's default D-Bus policy only one client can talk to Bluetit at a time, the "primary owner" according to D-Bus terminology.

Goldcrest's disconnect option is originally meant to disconnect a session started by Bluetit autonomously, i.e. when Bluetit is configured to connect at startup. If you need to terminate a current connection established via Goldcrest, you just have to send a SIGTERM or SIGINT to Goldcrest. For example, press CTRL-C on the terminal from which you launched Goldcrest, or send Goldcrest the signal, for example
sudo killall goldcrest

Kind regards
