Apparently, installing Octave was not enough, I had to install D-bus separately. When I had done that, the problem was gone. I guess this is an omission in the dependencies for Octave. Note: this problem occurred both with and without the GUI that Octave comes with (octave --no-gui gave the same error messages).
