Run the following command in a terminal :
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

It should give you something like the following :
unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-IEpGRRL0DI,guid=71246c319846a828cdf28e8900000027

I would suggest you to get some help through your distribution's
support channel, as the d-bus configuration probably varies from one
distro to another.
