Launch Desktop issue: Could not connect to session bus

I am running into this problem as well, but conda uninstall dbus does not finish executing because of permissions:

EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment.
  environment location: /apps/python/3.7-2019.10
  uid: 33149
  gid: 6540


(base) [jimdc4@p0578 PAS1718/jimdc4]$ 

Any ideas? I’m able to access the terminal (where I am attempting to uninstall dbus) but not the virtual desktop.
