Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

Hi

After installing on ubuntu server 18.04 and calling cmusd I get this errror :

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cmusd/node_modules/dbus/lib/bus.js:24
self.connection = _dbus.getBus(1);
^

Error: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

Hi @djbouzz
This is not a cmusd error
Rather, you don't have an X11 Session running for dbus to be auto-launched on

If you want to use this without the X11 session, you have to configure dbus to launch on startup
For more info, look here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690530

If you intend to connect to a remote X11 session, please ensure your SSH X11 Forwarding configuration isn't misconfigured. See: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely

Or, just ensure that the $DISPLAY variable points to the proper display. :1, or something
