I've just performed a fresh install of FreeBSD 15.0, and installed the
signal-desktop package.

I've enabled dbus with the following in /etc/rc.conf:

dbus_enable="YES"

However, Signal crashes immediately after starting up, with the following log:

NODE_ENV production
NODE_CONFIG_DIR /usr/local/share/signal-desktop/resources/app.asar/config
NODE_CONFIG {}
ALLOW_CONFIG_MUTATIONS undefined
HOSTNAME vader
NODE_APP_INSTANCE undefined
SUPPRESS_NO_CONFIG_WARNING undefined
SIGNAL_ENABLE_HTTP undefined

impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
