Hi @caronc,

Thanks for opening this thread and sorry for the hassle.

Could you please also share a link to one of the builds that were failing before including the `virtualenv` approach you mention, so that we can check the original error as well?

In the meantime, I noticed at [Issues with dbus](https://travis-ci.community/t/issues-with-dbus/984/3) that someone suggested installing dbus directly with `pip`. Is this something you tried already?

```auto
pip install dbus-python

```

Looking forward to hearing back from you!
