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

So after some digging. It dawned on me.
sudo touch session.conf
sudo vi session.conf
(paste in the conf file text I found here and save
sudo sed -i 's/<listen>.*</listen>/<listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=0</listen>/' /etc/dbus-1/session.conf
And it worked! Now I get to try to figure out why i am seeing
" Error: Error creating directory "/home/username/.cache/compizconfig-1" "

Did you actually solve the problem?

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.
