[SOLVED] defect dbus service, systemd is unable to create socket

debijan · 2013-02-13 15:02:47

Hi,
I am experiencing serious problems with systemd & dbus.
I want to setup a gateway in a KVM VM, all was working fine till i applied my shorewall config & set to autostart (systemctl enable shorewall).
If I reboot the machine after this step one or two times, then I get a broken dbus service.
What I did than: reinstalled archlinux again (x86_x64) and setup same -> got issue again.
installed arch linux as x86 and setup same -> issue again
installed arch as x86 and configured nothing else shorewall and got this issue again after maximum of two reboots.

i found in log:
Feb 13 15:45:56 pactor systemd[1]: Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

I've checked this directory by hand and found that only /var/run is existing. /var/run/dbus is already not existing.

logs:
journalctl -b: http://nopaste.info/685f4c6192.html

-be aware of systemd-logind, this needs dbus and i experience same problem with other services which require dbus as dnsmasq

oh man... found the reason due to help of some guys on systemd irc... big thx to falconindy and alxchk.
shorewall's SUBSYSLOCK option in shorewall.conf is by default set to /var/lock/shorewall.
but the arch wiki point that it should be set to /var/run: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router
definitely wrong! that deletes the /var/run symlink and created a directory intstead.
to set the SUBSYSLOCK on default is working like a charm.
look also for this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151285

could somebody modify the wiki in the meantime, i will hold this thread on -not-solved in the meantime

edit:/ oh man this wrong info in wiki did cost me a lot of time :-/

@debijan: How about modifying the wiki by yourself? The wiki is a community project.
