I have that issue on my netbook which uses Slim as a display manager to
launch an i3wm session.  It looks like Slim isn't launching dbus, which
also breaks a host of other things, like managing removable storage
devices.

The problem is not present on my x64 machine where I manually launch Sway
with dbus-run-session.
