export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus"

...to .bashrc or .zshrc or any file ran on login.

It doesn't work for me.
When I try systemctl --user , I get Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory.
Does XDG have something to do with Gnome and KDE? Because I have KDE.

EDIT:
Wow it works!
Sorry. Previously I was logged in as root.
