"Unable to determine the address of the message bus"

[wang baisheng]

have you export enviroment DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and add user messagebus ?

$ dbus-launch
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:path=/tmp/session_bus_socket'
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=5899

$export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:path=/tmp/session_bus_socket'
