The D-Bus Specification[1] says: On Unix systems, the session bus should search for .service files in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/dbus-1/services as defined by the XDG Base Directory Specification. Implementations may also search additional locations, with a higher or lower priority than the XDG directories. so you should set the environment variables XDG_DATA_HOME and/or XDG_DATA_DIRS, the same way you set those variables to influence the search path for .desktop files. See [2] for more information. If a piece of software that reads session service definition files does not do this, please report that as a bug in that piece of software, using its bug tracking system. In particular, if you believe dbus-broker has a bug in this area, reporting it in flatpak's bug tracker is unlikely to get it seen or fixed by dbus-broker developers. smcv [1] https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html [2] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

Also not related to my question, but a dbus-broker behavior/bug that causes flatpak to misbehave: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3342 On Fri, Jan 24, 2020 at 11:27 PM Damian Ivanov wrote: > > Hello! > > Thank you for all the great work! > Can't wait to test systemd-homed. > > I also have a question about dbus activation. > Is there an environment variable or something to tell systemd/dbus-broker > to look in a specific path for dbus .service files? > > I have a .desktop file which requires dbus activation but the .service > can not be in > any standard path and I want to let the .desktop file know where to > look for the dbus .service file. > > Any suggestions? > > br, > Damian ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
[systemd-devel] dbus activation service path
Hello! Thank you for all the great work! Can't wait to test systemd-homed. I also have a question about dbus activation. Is there an environment variable or something to tell systemd/dbus-broker to look in a specific path for dbus .service files? I have a .desktop file which requires dbus activation but the .service can not be in any standard path and I want to let the .desktop file know where to look for the dbus .service file. Any suggestions? br, Damian ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
