Help with dbus after archlinux upgrade

I noticed on startup my computer is saying “Failed to start D-bus system message bus”

my sway session would not start

I switched to dbus-deamon-units and now sway will start with seatd, but i can’t, for example, use notify-send as it says


<span style="color:#323232;">Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=82fe279a661a4ecdb58cb22596899103 --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1
</span>

I suspect I may have setup dbus to run as root with systemctl or something? but I have no idea what’s going on and have been at this for hours, any advice would be helpful

Also, it takes two attempts to run commands, zsh is saying

zsh: corrupt history file

edit: I discovered pacman was lying to me about dbus-daemon-units being installed, and dbus-broker is now running fine at a user level and dbus at the system level, but if I setup dbus broker as root everything breaks, I dunno

It’s mentioned in the announcements.

We are making dbus-broker our default implementation of D-Bus, for improved performance, reliability and integration with systemd.

For the foreseeable future we will still support the use of dbus-daemon, the previous implementation. Pacman will ask you whether to install dbus-broker-units or dbus-daemon-units. We recommend picking the default.

For a more detailed rationale, please see our RFC 25.

archlinux.org/…/making-dbus-broker-our-default-d-…

Though it doesn’t say you really need to take any action but maybe it’s a start for something to look into.

If you check out the mailing list archives there is some active discussion about dbus-broker as well.

Not an arch user, but it’s possible they moved dbus to a user scoped unit now. Might be possible to start it like this (or something similar)


<span style="color:#323232;">systemctl —user start dbus.service
