Hi,

This is in fact a simple config problem on your system. You need to 
generate a dbus file called machine-id.

This can be done with the following command:

sudo dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

If you get a permission error, create the file anywhere else:

sudo dbus-uuidgen > /tmp/machine-id

and copy the file:

sudo cp /tmp/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/

It solved the problem for me on CentOS.
