DBUS is a system daemon.  Is it running on your machine?  If not, you
need to start it.

In principle, it starts running by default at boot time on newer Linux
distros.  However, I don't know what you are running.  Also, note that
I said "in principle".  In practice, I've found it to be flakey.  That
might be operator error, however....
