I got confused, because the fatal warning was actually made by
gnome-software (to check if it would be able to start dbus!!!).  I
deleted the warning, and added a dbus session, but now its requiring a
dbus system session.  Do you know of any way to start one? I couldn’t
find any packages doing this, and dbus-daemon --system fails miserably
(tries to access /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket).

Thanks,
Noé
