Dear Maintainer, ukui-service-manager can fail to activate a system service plugin when another plugin is already using the same service space. This is visible in UKUI Control Center. Opening Accounts -> Account Information can block until the D-Bus activation times out if another Settings plugin has already been started. Steps to reproduce: 1. Restart ukui-system-service-manager.service. 2. Activate com.control.center.qt.systemdbus. 3. Activate org.ukui.groupmanager. 4. Alternatively, open Accounts -> Account Information after another Settings plugin has already been started. Actual result: org.ukui.groupmanager does not finish activating, and Control Center stays blocked waiting for the D-Bus call to return. Expected result: Both plugins should be able to use the same service space, and the second plugin should activate normally without blocking Control Center. Reproduced with: - ukui-service-manager 0.1.0-1 - ukui-control-center 4.20.0.4-1 Regards,
Dear Maintainer, I did some further testing and narrowed this down to the system D-Bus implementation. The issue reproduces when dbus-broker 37 is used as the system bus, but I could not reproduce it on an OpenKylin system using dbus-daemon 1.16.2. The current D-Bus policy relies on send_destination_prefix. dbus-daemon supports this policy attribute, while dbus-broker 37 does not, so the corresponding allow rule is ineffective with dbus-broker. As a result, when org.ukui.Service.Settings already exists, the launchServices call is rejected by the system bus policy and org.ukui.groupmanager does not finish activating. Control Center then stays blocked waiting for the synchronous D-Bus call. This is relevant to Ubuntu 26.10, where dbus-broker is the default D-Bus provider. Tested with: - ukui-service-manager 0.1.0-1 - ukui-control-center 4.20.0.4-1 - dbus-broker 37 - dbus-daemon 1.16.2 Regards,
