I don't think shitting on Linux will attract a lot of help on this
mailing list. Nevertheless...

What login manager and DE/WM are you using? If you're using a WM, it's
your own reponsibility to setup dbus when starting your session. A DE
will do this for you.

Typically, you can start your WM using `dbus-run-session `, at
least for Wayland. I'm not familiar with X11 but maybe you can use the
same command.

That said, I'm not sure dbus is the problem with chromium, since you're
still having the same network error when starting it with `dbus-launch
chromium`...

Have you seen https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3 ?

[gentoo-user] chromium and dbus...

2023-04-28 Thread Alan Grimes

It looks like chromium has no freakin idea how to use dbus...

A decenently good OS would provide an IPC mechanism and little else. =| 
So basically this is just a hack-layer to get around the inherent fact 
that linux is garbage.


Dbus is in my runlevels and shows no errors when I poke it with the 
script in /etc/init.d



I've been limping along on Konqueror and it is generating completely 
routine dbus traffic no issues:

Today's update did nothing to chromium.

Apparently by doing nothing whatsoever, I managed to make the only 
system in the world that can't run chromium in this way but seems fine 
on all other apps. =\
