Hello Guix,

I suspect this is related to my environment and not to next... but don't
understand why and how to fix it

also, probably I have dbus problems for other applications too but I do
not see them because they are not blocking like in next


I installed next 1.4 via guix on two Debian 10 machines:

1. my laptop: next works fine and I'm happy
2. my LTSP app server: it does not work :-S

this is the error I get on my app server:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

giovanni@roquette: next -v
Arguments parsed: (VERBOSE T) and NIL
Next version 1.4.0
<ERROR> [18:38:43] next remote.lisp (ensure-dbus-session fun1 fun65) -
  Failed to run (dbus-launch): dbus-launch not found

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

my dbus related processes on this failing machine are:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and the related DBUS env on the failing machine is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-X4UdsFONq5,guid=8fc98da614e6df5de9ef6fe45e1caa2d
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



on the laptop, where next is running fine, I have this dbus related
processes:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
g         2665  0.0  0.0   9088  4388 ?        Ss   Jan12   0:22 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
g         2878  0.0  0.0   8884  4160 ?        S    Jan12   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and this dbus related env:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Any hint please?

Thanks, Gio'
