I read the man page and found that the environment variable
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not exported.
I exported it with the same value from ~/.dbus/session-bus/ but it

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-EtKMcBkowv: Connection refused

Could you help me with that? I don't know much about dbus.

I changed to system bus and got an error;
Cannot do system-bus activation with no user
