On Ubuntu 22.04, I'm trying to set up xscreensaver as a daemon using systemctl. Following these instructions, I've created the following at ~/.config/systemd/user/xscreensaver.service:
[Unit]
Description=XScreenSaver
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
and run
systemctl --user enable xscreensaver
However, I get the error
Failed to connect to bus: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)
I saw this answer and tried
systemctl --user --global enable xscreensaver
That worked. However, when I tried to start the service with
systemctl --user --global start xscreensaver
I got the Failed to connect to bus error again.
