Hi !

I was trying to package another chromium extension into Guix but I'm
getting stuck with these errors :

_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories

So it seems that in my case, the browser is trying to connect to dbus
which is not a dependency.

Have you already run into these kind of errors ?
I'm running mainly under Sway implementation of wayland, does it have
something to do with it ?

I've tried adding dbus to the list of native-inputs, but only that
doesn't fix the issue. I've also tried adding a dbus deamon,

(invoke (string-append #$dbus "/bin/dbus-daemon")
                   "--fork" "--session")

but I still get the same errors as chromium is trying to connect to
system bus.

I don't have enough dbus understanding to try and address the
issue.

In my particular case, I was trying to package zotero connectors, see my
WIP/dirty package here :

Thanks for your help !

Nicolas
