Furthermore, if you happen to start your Window Manager directly, via `xinitrc`, or directly invoke a Wayland compositor such as Sway, you should ensure that you launch dbus at startup in your session and export its environment. If you do not have a dbus session in your environment, you will see errors such as "Operation not supported" when attempting to browse the network.

For example, if you are using `xinitrc`, you could invoke `dbus-launch`:

export `dbus-launch` # starts dbus and exports its address

exec xterm # your prefered Window Manager

</syntaxhighlight>

You need to restart your Window Manager to have the changes in ''.xinitrc'' to take place.

(You need to restart your Window Manager to have the changes in ''.xinitrc'' to take place.)

If you are using a Wayland compositor like Sway, you can run it under `dbus-run-session` for the same effect:

dbus-run-session sway

</syntaxhighlight>

(Because `dbus-run-session` exits when the child process exits, it is only appropriate to use `dbus-run-session` with a process that will be running during the entire session. This is the case for Wayland compositors, but is not necessarily true for all configurations of X11 window managers.)
