### `Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket`

This error message indicates that Electron is attempting to connect to `dbus`, a desktop environment service, when there is no `dbus` present.

Cypress does its best to detect non-interactive shells and disable `dbus` by setting the `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` environment variable to `disabled:`.

If you see these error messages, setting the `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` environment variable to `disabled:` should resolve them.
