Description Michal Vyskocil 2010-12-02 03:18:59 UTC 
After start with --log-level=debug I found this in dmesg.

[  104.674323] systemd[1]: Using notification socket /org/freedesktop/systemd1/notify
[  104.687521] systemd[1]: Failed to get system D-Bus connection, retrying later: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
[  104.692660] systemd[1]: Failed to get API D-Bus connection, retrying later: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
[  104.698432] systemd[1]: Successfully created private D-Bus server.

I realized the dbusd is not running. The reason was /var/run/dbus directory was missing for unknown reason, so the socket() call ends with an error. Simple mkdir /var/run/dbus && sytemctl restart dbus.service fixed that.

Distribution: openSUSE 11.4, systemd-13-2.1.x86_64

BTW: I found few logs with the same error

This is actually simply misleading in systemd, those error messages should be ignored.

I have now changed systemd git to not generate these messages anymore.
