I’m trying to install yakuake so I can have a slick drop down terminal like in manjaro, but I’m getting an error when I try to run it:
:~$ yakuake
qt.qpa.xcb: X server does not support XInput 2
failed to get the current screen resources
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to ‘/tmp/runtime-anonymous’
“Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)”
I don’t understand this error or how to go about correcting it. I have installed xming, and I have set some firewall rules to allow the wsl2 programs to communicate with the xserver. I ran xeyes as a test and that seemed to work. Not sure what to do next?
If you’re not using GWSL I believe you’ll want to run dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 before running GUI Apps. Seems to work for me w/ x410, VcXsrv. I haven’t tried Yakuake*.
Hmmmm… looks like something might be misconfigured:
:~$ dbus-launch --exit-with-x11
Session lifetime based on X11 requested, but machine UUID unavailable: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up: see the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. (Failed to open “/var/lib/dbus/machine-id”: No such file or directory; UUID file ‘/etc/machine-id’ should contain a hex string of length 32, not length 0, with no other text).
