In version 0.2.5, In a bash shell, doing : export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=tcp:host=<remote_device_IP>,port=1234 Then running bustle-monitor > file.txt was loggin all dbus session traffic on my remote host (wich was configured to be accessible in remote) Now in version 0.4 putting : DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=tcp:host=10.12.74.140,port=1234 export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in the bustle.sh launch bustle in the shell Then in Bustle, Click New -> nothing happens and bustle is in frozen state. Need to Ctrl-C to exit. Don't work also with bustle-pcap. However I've got this log with new version of bustle : (bustle-pcap:6511): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Problems looking up entry in keyring: Error opening keyring `/home/<user>/.dbus-keyrings/org_freedesktop_general' for reading: Failed to open file '/home/<user>/.dbus-keyrings/org_freedesktop_general': No such file or directory indeed I don't have this file "org_freedesktop_general".
Bustle just connects to the session bus using g_bus_get_sync (G_BUS_TYPE_SESSION, …). From looking at the GDBus source, setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and telling `bustle-pcap` to listen to the session bus should work—as should `gdbus`, for that matter. export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=... gdbus monitor --session --dest com.example or something. In terms of monitoring over TCP from the UI, I think the right approach would be to add a menu item (File → Record from address…) which lets you paste in a bus address. This would then pass the address down to the C monitoring code, which would then use g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync() rather than g_bus_get_sync(). I'll try to prioritise this feature as and when I get a chance to hack on Bustle, though of course if anyone fancies having a crack at it that'd be great!
