2016-10-14 15:20:34 Michael Terry bug task added dbus
2016-10-14 15:20:55 Michael Terry description For example, when running in a snap. I ran into this while testing a unity8 desktop session snap. Session services were being dbus-activated, but dbus was running the hardcoded paths in the session desktop files. Which weren't pointed into the snap. DBus has support for relocating those paths, but it only does so on Windows. I've added a patch to support $DBUS_ROOT on Unix and relocate paths as needed. I've linked the upstream bug here. We may want to consider patch Ubuntu while we wait for it to land upstream. I've attached the patch here too. For example, when running in a snap.
