Podman shows the following warning when trying to (start|stop) a container:
WARN[0000] Falling back to --cgroup-manager=cgroupfs
----------------------------------------------------

As noted in this [1] comment:

By default, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set to
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-<RANDOM>,guid=<RANDOM>

However, for podman to work, it must be unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u)/bus

Hi Andrew, thanks for filing this bug in debian.

What exactly is setting this environment variable to that value?

That is what the variable is set on my machines, and I haven't changed
anything special.

That comment refers to a related, but very different situation. Here, the
person asking ended up with an "abstract" path in $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,
which is not working for podman.

As far as I can tell, this behavior seems intentional with upstream. If
you are arguing podman should also work with "abstract" and "guid" path
specifications, I need to ask you to bringt this up upstream.


Best,
-rt

Can't be reproduced on Podman v5.4.2 / Debian 13.4
