Dear Maintainer,
I attempted to run PartitionManager today, and it did not start:
$ sudo partitionmanager
[sudo] password for scott:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
"Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command
(with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)"
I have successfully run this in the past (after adding "lxqt-sudo " before the
command on the .desktop file's "exec" line - otherwise, nothing happens...)
but today, nothing happened. When I started it in the terminal, I got the
above.
I attempted to follow the suggestion ("export $(dbus-launch)"), but the command
was unknown.
It is apparently a file provided by dbus-x11, whose description states:
"This package contains the dbus-launch utility which is necessary for packages
using a D-Bus session bus."
I have dbus, but not dbus-x11.
As I say, I have successfully launched partitionmanager in the past, and have
not removed dbus-x11.
I don't use it often - mostly to verify my main disk's partition layout.
I note that around mid April, when I did a "sudo apt-get upgrade"
partitionmanager was "held back", and I subsequently installed it (it is the
newest version for testing)
I guess something changed.
I note that the environment variable
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus is defined (as is
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 - which even before, when I could run it, it
claimed was undefined).
