Hi everyone,
I use Arch within distrobox (docker.io/library/archlinux:latest). I can't use systemctl with root privileges, neither via sudo nor as user root. A plain
systemctlgives me:
Failed to list units: Transport endpoint is not connected. For
systemctl status cupsI get
Failed to get properties: Transport endpoint is not connected. Unfortunately, I do not even know what that means, so I'm asking for help diagnosing the issue here. Is that an issue with my Arch installation or am I using Distrobox wrong? What I was actually trying to do was diagnose why cups does not work but I did not come far due to the mentioned issue.

What is your host operating system, and has it systemd ?

I did read that, however, I intended to use a separate systemd inside the container and therefore did not set those symlinks. My host operating system is SteamOS and yes, it has systemd.

Using init system inside a distrobox https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/b … -distrobox
"If you want to use a non-pre-create image, you'll need to add the additional package"
Could this help ?

Assuming adding the package means installing it like I would with pacman, I did that already, just with pacman, not via the distrobox parameter.

I'm not familiar with distrobox specifics - maybe the special installation way is required ? Why distrobox does not tell the user to perform the usual apt-get or pacman -S inside the box ?
I'm out here, because your OS is SteamOS and your Arch client is no vanilla arch and not installed via the official way.
Sorry, no support here.
