Applications using D-Bus crash on Wayland

** (gedit:783): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus

Applications using D-Bus crash on Wayland.
They work if ran through the 'dbus-launch' command tho.
Such as 'dbus-launch gedit'.

As a temporary workaround for users affected by this, you can can run the desired application via dbus-launch.

E.g.
$ dbus-launch gedit

It's probably better to run weston-launch via dbus-launch ("dbus-launch install/bin/weston-launch") instead of the application.

And I think this only shows up when running weston outside of X (on DRM), because when you run it under X, you already have dbus launched.

Also, I'm not convinced there is a bug here.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

gedit works in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS using GNOME on Wayland. I don't think there's really any support for GNOME on Wayland before that version.

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

Yes, gedit now works on Weston. I no longer have this problem.
