I get this error:  
Failure (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut)

when I try to run any snapper commands, such as  
snapper list  
snapper list-configs  
snapper cleanup

Can anyone shed any light on this? Or where to start troubleshooting.

Running SLES 11 SP3.

Thanks,  
Gordon

Sorry, my mistake, I was posting at around 04:00 hrs in the morning…  
I’ve reposted in the SLES forum here: [https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?7481-snapper-command-times-out](https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?7481-snapper-command-times-out)

Unfortunately I can’t delete this thread. I’ll check with the mods.
