1) Indeed, it wouldn't be as simple as a file copy, it should also modify the path as you wrote.
2) I think we have the same use-case: unity8. I'm now working on getting Online Accounts to work inside a unity8 snap, but we might want to move away from a monolitic approach and deliver some session services as snaps. My understanding is that there might be a lightdm snap which will presumably start the dbus user session, and unity8 will be another snap which has all the D-Bus services we need (online accounts, EDS, content hub, etc.). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633520 Title: Support dbus runtime relocation Status in D-Bus: Unknown Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For example, when running in a snap. I ran into this while testing a unity8 desktop session snap. Session services were being dbus-activated, but dbus was running the hardcoded paths in the session desktop files. Which weren't pointed into the snap. DBus has support for relocating those paths, but it only does so on Windows. I've added a patch to support $DBUS_ROOT on Unix and relocate paths as needed. I've linked the upstream bug here. We may want to consider patching Ubuntu while we wait for it to land upstream. I've attached the patch here too.
