Hello, on Fedora GNOME Xorg session, I am using
$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor
/org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMonitor/Core
org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletime
to retrieve the user idle time. Indeed I get message
method return time=1558965539.579835 sender=:1.19 ->
destination=:1.97 serial=409 reply_serial=2
uint64 17
But if I try to use gdbus command
$ gdbus call --system --dest org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor
--object-path /org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMonitor/Core --method
org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletime
I get the error
Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The
name is not activatable
Why I am not able to use gdbus command against the same arguments?
Thank you
