Failed to get properties: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited...

Hi,

I'm trying to make a bluetooth headset work: Sony WH-1000XM4. But I have worser problems - basic problems I think... No matter what I do, I get strange errors. But only when I use i3wm - with Gnome things work pretty much out of the box. I login to i3wm with GDM (not sure if that means anything but I suspect GDM could do something). I've installed pipewire and tried to follow the guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber - but no luck. My bluetooth device is listed first in the output below and two lines further down reveals an issue, which I think have a rather basic solution (I however don't know or understand the issue):

lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth

systemctl --user status dbus.service
Failed to get properties: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1

systemctl --user --now disable pipewire-media-session
Failed to get properties: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1

# systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

I have these installed:

extra/wireplumber-docs 0.4.9-1 (2.8 MiB 6.0 MiB) (Installed)
extra/gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.51-1 (43.5 KiB 127.2 KiB) (Installed)

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePl … s_matching there are some example commands which should work, but they dont:

# pw-cli list-objects
Error: "failed to connect: Host is down"

No matter what I do, I get error messages. I would be very grateful, if anyone knows anything that can help, if anyone has some ideas/suggestions, I don't really know where to start looking...
