[Bug 2111760] Re: Missing dependency: dbus-x11

[Nathan Teodosio]

Don't you get a

  WARNING:root:can not import unity GI Namespace Unity not available

at the very top of the log?

Were the packages gir1.2-dbusmenu-gtk3-0.4 and gir1.2-unity-7.0
installed?

  The command `dbus-launch` is included in package "dbus-x11" and after
  installing that, all errors and warnings are gone.
