Do you have the dbus service enabled?

Comment:
This issue doesn't affect me personally; it was reported by someone on #voidlinux, who encountered it after trying to run cmus from the console on a fresh Void install.
i found that enabling the `dbus` service made no difference, which makes sense to me: to make use of the system bus, the cmus code would need to be calling `sd_bus_default_system` instead of `sd_bus_default_user`.
My *inclination* is to say this is an upstream issue, but i'm interested to know how Void handles cases like this - whether the procedure is to try to work around the problem in the packaging, or whether users should be told to raise the issue with upstream.

Coming back to this, I thik the default procedure is to report the issue and seek a fix. If the fix is deemed important and has been accepted by upstream, we can try to patch it before a release.

@galmio: Could you please open an issue with upstream about this? My personal feeling is that it's reasonable for people to want to run `cmus` in a console without a session bus (although of course, that would mean the MPRIS functionality will not be available).

Comment:
@flexibeast: I can open the issue but I would rather ask for an implementation of `sb_bus_default_system` as you mentioned than just merely dropping MPRIS functionality, since it's what I've been CMUS with in status bars in other distributions.

@galmio: i'm not a `cmus` user myself, so if you think that's best, sure. :-) Let me know once you've opened that issue, so i can close this as "not a Void issue".

I ran into this big as well when switching over to Artix Linux. Using Arch with systemd worked fine and a session bus was started automatically. When using s6 and runit, a session bus is not created automatically. I opted to disable MPRIS with the `:set mpris=false` in config.

Comment:
In my case I was starting x session via `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` yet was still getting `mpris` related errors. This one took me a while to figure out, but the problem is that `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` was not exposed in my environment. I checked what gentoo does to fix this, since my gentoo machine with a similar setup doesn't have this error, and apparently `dbus` package adds [80-dbus](https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-apps/dbus/files/80-dbus) under `/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d` when `X` use flag is enabled. @ericonr I wonder if we should do the same for `dbus-x11` and `dbus-elogind-x11`? I'm happy to send a patch for this.

Comment:
@ap4y the script can probably be improved a bit, but idk how it interacts with people who have their own setup for starting a bus. Maybe we can create a `xorg-dbus` package containing it? Not sure it's ideal, but it'd at least avoid being a default.

Closed issue by flexibeast on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/20744
Description:
Installing and running `cmus` from the console results in an error message: "an error occured while initializing MPRIS". [This line of the cmus source](https://github.com/cmus/cmus/blob/d1290d50f9f7585c43b9e1326c0d6d1e0b4583f6/mpris.c#L491) suggests that `cmus` requires the presence of a session bus (cf. [the documentation for `sd_bus_default_user`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd_bus_open.html)), and indeed, running `dbus-launch /bin/cmus` results in no error being reported on startup.
How should this be addressed? Should the `cmus` package be modified, or should upstream not be assuming the presence of a session bus?
