So to summarise. Your machine-id is in /var/lib/dbus Our dbus library is looking in /usr/local/var/lib/dbus, and also /etc
Just checking my local machine (Windows with WSL running Ubuntu 18, not exactly representative), and I appear to have /etc/machine-id,and /var/lib/dbus/machine-id but not /usr/local/lib/dbus. I can check a more realistic machine tomorrow. But looking at the Appimage build, we build dbus from source, and looking at the dbus project code, it looks like the path that is searched is a build time option. makefile.am: .. DDBUS_MACHINE_UUID_FILE=\""$(localstatedir)/lib/dbus/machine-id"\ .. I am not 100% clear where localstatedir comes from, but I think perhaps we want to change the configuration of the dbus build to specify it to be /var instead of /usr/local/var I will poke around some more when I get some time.
