xgsch2pcb (I think symlinked to "geda" in the binary distribution)
requires DBus to communicate with PCB.

It sounds like you haven't got DBus running on your remote login
session. That isn't entirely surprising, it usually only gets launched
with a full desktop session.

Try:

dbus-launch geda

(or)

dbus-launch xgsc2pcb

The missing machine-id may be more related to the "system bus", but I'm
not sure. If you just installed DBus, you might need a reboot (or to
restart its service), for that to be generated the first time.

Again.. what distro is this?
