Devuan now has src:xorg-server packages built with libseat instead of
libsystemd and dbus. That should resolve this issue.

Hi,

If dbus is not installed there will be continuous spam in the xorg log fil=
es, eg ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

[  3970.566] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedeskt=
op.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/syst=
em_bus_socket: No such file or directory)
[  3980.566] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedeskt=
op.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/syst=
em_bus_socket: No such file or directory)

Present on beowulf for me but might affect ascii too.

This setup has the dbus package removed, and I tried working around this w=
ith the configuration stanza "no-use-session-dbus" in /etc/X11/Xsession.op=
tions without any change.

This looks to be a known Debian issue with an open bug report [1] that was=
 apparently fixed but then reintroduced, and open since 2017 with no sensi=
ble workaround. It was reported to freedesktop.org [2] but got a simple "n=
o fix" reply because this is apparently a niche case. But I think that's u=
nlikely and that many Devuan users would have a similar setup so I'm filin=
g it here.
