D-Bus is a message bus system that provides an easy way for inter-process communication. It consists of a daemon, which can be run both system-wide and for each user session, and a set of libraries to allow applications to use D-Bus.
Installation
D-Bus is enabled automatically when using systemd because dbus is a dependency of systemd.
Starting the user session
As of systemd 226-1
and dbus 1.10.0-3
, the D-Bus session is started automatically. [1]
Debugging
d-feet is an easy to use D-Bus debugger GUI tool. D-Feet can be used to inspect D-Bus interfaces of running programs and invoke methods on those interfaces. See its homepage for more info.
