[SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Hiya,

Previously I could run

systemctl poweroff

and it would shut down the system without prompting for root password as long as no-one else was logged in. Now I get:

[joshua:~ o]$ systemctl poweroff
Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
Failed to issue method call: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received
Failed to add match: Connection is closed
Could not watch jobs: Input/output error
[joshua:~ x]$

journalctl tells me:

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Check if your session is registered as active with loginctl show-session an if there are multiple sessions.

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

I've seen recently that slim seems to be having issues with logind and systemd.  If you logout and log back in and loginctl list-sessions you'll likely see two sessions listed.  Slim seems to be having problems dealing with sessions properly.  My only suggestion would be to try xdm instead as it doesn't appear to have these issues.  It's still lightweight and doesn't have the recurring problems slim seems to have.  My only suggestion.  Sorry.

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Ah, okay. No problems then, I'll just change to xdm.

I can confirm the two session symptom. Do we know if this is a slim bug, or an Arch bug? And if the former, has someone reported it?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

There are a couple of bugs filed against slim concerning systemd.  FS#32380 is relevant in that if slim doesn't finish exiting processes, the sessions don't get closed so it looks like it's already being handled.

BTW, straight xorg-xdm is butt ugly.  xdm-archinux in community is a big improvement.  It also adds reboot and poweroff buttons.

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Okay, actually that doesn't fix the problem... Even with XDM I get the same "Error getting authority: blah blah" error that I quoted in my first post. "list-sessions"/"show-session" show 1 user and Active=yes respectively...

Any more ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Maybe a shot in the dark but you do have systemd-sysvcompat installed?  And there's nothing still trying to use consolekit in your .xinitrc?  How about systemctl status polkit.service?

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Yes, I've got systemd-sysvcompat installed.

And there's nothing still trying to use consolekit in your .xinitrc?

How would I work that out? Or is it just a case of looking at the docs for each programme?

And:

[joshua:~ x]$ sudo systemctl status polkit.service
polkit.service - Authorization Manager
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/polkit.service; static)
	  Active: inactive (dead)
	    Docs: man:polkit(8)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/polkit.service

Am I correct in thinking that "inactive (dead)" is a bad sign?

[joshua:~ o]$ sudo journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=polkit.service

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

AS far as your .xinitrc, I just meant that have you got a simple "exec windowmanager" containing no dbus-launch or ck-session-launch entries.  Several suggestions to launch dbus, etc. is to copy /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc and modify to launch your wm.

Yes, having a dead polkit.service will cause you just the problems you're describing.  There are a few threads on this in the forum but I can't think of one off the top of my head so maybe a forum search on polkit.service will find you what you're looking for.

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

I couldn't find any threads with solutions, either on google or using forum search... However, if I try to run polkitd manually I get:

[joshua:~ o]$ sudo /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd
Successfully changed to user polkitd
Error getting system bus: Could not connect: No such file or directory
** (polkitd:6417): WARNING **: Error getting system bus: Could not connect: No such file or directory
23:42:03.803: Loading rules from directory /etc/polkit-1/rules.d

Entering main event loop
23:42:03.804: Lost the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 - exiting
Shutting down
Exiting with code 0

...so it sounds like polkitd has problems independent of systemd.  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/p … 00367.html references the same problem, but the file /opt/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket doesn't exist for me...

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Nope, don't even have a /var/run/dbus directory.

I have /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.socket but according to "locate", no files named "system-bus-socket" in the filesystem ( also ran "find /var -iname 'system-bus-socket'" just in case, but no luck there either).

I found http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/d … 09206.html: I don't have messagebus user/group, but I do have dbus user/group. Is this the source of my problem, do you think?

[EDIT]Nope, I added a messagebus user and group and the problem persists...[/EDIT]

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Hm, I'm getting closer - I've found system-bus-socket, it was in /run/dbus. I didn't even know I had a top-level /run directory... However, running:

DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

doesn't help at all.

Also, I note that in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf has

<listen>unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket</listen>

in it.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Have you tried

# systemctl list-units

to check the status of dbus.  Did you try and copy /etc/skel/.xinitrc to your home directory like I suggested before?  It looks like dbus isn't running or responding properly for some reason.  I think I read somewhere that someone was still using dbus-launch in his .xinitrc and it worked for him.

As far as groups are concerned the systemd wiki claims you don't need to be in groups in most cases.

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

A while ago I seem to remember having issues with polkit and someone suggested reinstalling on another post.  When I tried, I found that polkit didn't install properly as there was a goup id number conflict.  It turned out I had an old install of gdm and it ws using the same group id that polkit was trying to use during install.  After I got rid of gdm and did a reinstall of polkit, it worked properly.  Just a shot in the dark really. wink  See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1187801

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

You said that you have /run/dbus but not /var/run/dbus?

There's your problem. (Well, one of them, anyway.)

/var/run should be a symlink to /run.

If that is not the case on your machine, either your system is rather out of date or something has gone rather wrong somewhere.

Aha! cfr has it. Perhaps I messed up https://www.archlinux.org/news/filesyst … equired-1/. (or it became messed up when I removed initscripts? Dunno.)

I've rectified the situation, and polkitd starts correctly. I'll reboot now and see if the problem's fixed...

Hello,

I have the same problem.

But I have installed Arch let's say... two months ago so I have a complete-full systemd "compliant OS.
It was working fine until this evening, I was just googling and reading newspaper and sudenly Conky display a log of messages from /var/log/messages.log !

My Arch is up to date.
I have tried to restart a couple of time but nothing change.

Do you have an idea ?

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Hi again,

Everything is okay now.
Why on Earth this problem sudendly occured ?

I have done :

[root@zoulou bastien]# pacman-color -S filesystem
warning: filesystem-2012.12-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

Now I have :

[root@zoulou run]# cd /var/run
[root@zoulou run]# ls
console  dbus  initramfs  lirc    lock  log  lvm    mdadm  mount  network  nscd  pm-utils  syslog-ng.ctl  syslog-ng.pid  systemd  udev  user  utmp    uuidd
[root@zoulou run]#

And the log file :

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

From these lines in your first post:

[root@zoulou run]# pwd
/var/run
[root@zoulou run]# ls
[root@zoulou run]# cd /run/dbus/
[root@zoulou dbus]#

It sounds like you had the same problem as I did: /var/run wasn't symlinked to /run. Run

ls -ld /var/run /run

to check and you should get something like

drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 520 Jan  1 10:05 /run
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   6 Dec  4 01:02 /var/run -> ../run

Regards,

Re: [SOLVED] "systemctl poweroff" permissions error

Hello,

Happy new year, by the way ! smile

Nope exactly the same :

[root@zoulou dbus]# ls -ld /var/run/ /run/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 440 Jan  1 09:57 /run/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 440 Jan  1 09:57 /var/run/
[root@zoulou dbus]# pacman-color -S filesystem
warning: filesystem-2012.12-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
.
.
.
[root@zoulou dbus]# ls -ld /var/run/ /run/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 440 Jan  1 09:57 /run/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 440 Jan  1 09:57 /var/run/
[root@zoulou dbus]#


Strange. I can create the simlink by myself, but :

- first, I do not get any error so should I change something if everything is right ?
- second, I would like to understand why the problem occured...

Regards and happy new year again,
Bastien
