INFO: [Common 17-78] Attempting to get a license: Implementation process 17688: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 282. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Abnormal program termination (6) Please check '/home/jara/hdl/hs_err_pid17688.log' for details
The workaround is to make the D-Bus communication socket file /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket unavailable when the Xilinx tools run.
Execute as root:
chmod o-rw /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
However, the workaround fix may interfere with system software, hence look out for potential side effects.
