Broken dbus session on openbox

V1del, my variable looks the same:

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-WteUuKvxXY,guid=15880d3c6b667a5b98a5e5ab6a94a8ed

I'm running Xorg, Openbox 3.6.1, starting X with `startx`, so I don't know for sure how it is getting set.  My .xinitrc ends with

exec dbus-run-session sh -c '
  # Start Openbox (blocking)
  openbox-session
'

Re: Broken dbus session on openbox

Please open new threads instead of bumping old solved ones in the future. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … bumping%22

Don't do that, do not run dbus-run-session on your own but fix your .xinitrc by noting the second blue note under https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc and make sure you properly source the scripts that setup your user session correctly.
