'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Basically I am trying to run a user session of systemd. Up to now, this worked without doing the additional parts from the systemd/User wiki-page. Now it returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection: No such file or directory' or 'Failed to read server status: Input/output error' (the first one when I try it from the TTY, the second one from within xfce / urxvtc). Even after doing the wiki-page, it still returns the two error messages.

My current 'systemctl status':

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Yes, however I did a fresh install less than a week ago (for different reasons), so that file is correct. For 2 days, systemd --user worked, after that... it stopped. I can't see any changes which would have made that happen.

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Also, it works for me again. systemd had some troubles with readahead, it seems; I disabled it and most issues are gone.

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Hm, my issue persists. I never turned readahead on (and trying to disable them gave no output, so I assume they never were installed).

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Make sure that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set and that $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/private exists. If not, then something is wrong.

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

I did the dbus-setup according to the systemd/User part in the wiki.

$ cd $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/ && ls -lah |grep private && pwd
srwxr-xr-x 1 dustball dustball   0 25. Apr 22:13 private
/run/user/1000/systemd

Do I need to enable the dbus somehow else than via 

sudo systemctl --global enable dbus.socket

?

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

disabling readahead solved it for me too. Isn't that strange? What has the one thing to do with the other?

I also did

Re: 'systemctl --user status' returns 'Failed to get D-Bus connection'

Necro info here.
Thank you dustball. Doing the the dbus-setup following to the systemd/User part in the wiki, solved the 'Failed to get D-Bus connection' that I had when doing 'systemctl --user status'.

Looks there's no (more) issue with systemd-readahead activated:

└──╼ systemctl -a|grep readahead
  systemd-readahead-collect.service                                                                          loaded    active   exited    Collect Read-Ahead Data
  systemd-readahead-done.service                                                                             loaded    inactive dead      Stop Read-Ahead Data Collection
  systemd-readahead-replay.service                                                                           loaded    active   exited    Replay Read-Ahead Data
  systemd-readahead-done.timer                                                                               loaded    active   elapsed   Stop Read-Ahead Data Collection 10s After Completed Startup

And on that, I'll  close this thread.
