When I try to run gajim I get the following error.

gajim

In short it should look in /var/lib/dbus/machine-id instead of /var/local/lib/dbus/machine-id.

Confirming bug. Same here. 
Please change importance to many people as it affects users communications.

Hello. 

It is definitely not the problem of gajim itself. I tried to grep for machine-id in source and found out no references. Do you use any third-party plugins, that are not included into gajim source? 

Looks like this dbus bug related: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228001

Anyway, I can't reproduce right now with version 1.3.3. Does it work for you now?
