I had an error like that this morning (local time), I thought I had fixed it, at least it's working for me. Have you pulled the latest in the last couple of hours?

[digitaltrails]

I managed to reproduce the issue. Looking into it now.

[digitaltrails]

Still looking. In the meantime you could edit $HOME/.config/vdu_controls/vdu_controls.conf and find the line dbus-client-enabled = yes and set it to dbus-client-enabled = no. That will bypass the problem code.

I've made a temporary patch which catches the problem and works around it.

When I have time I will investigate it further. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, because I personally use ddcutil-service I had not noticed I broke using the ddcutil command.
