Still in 1.28 dbus doesnt seem to be used when compiled for wayland.

I've figured out where this error is coming from so I'm posting here in case this can help anyone else.

For me the error was the CanHibernate check erroring out. You can try running dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanHibernate.

If that errors out chances are that is the culprit. For me this was caused by a broken hibernation setup. Make sure you have resume=UUID= and resume-offset (if using a swap file) set correctly[1].

Also, something to watch out for is having a swap file in your home directory (e.g. /home/swapfile or similar). You'll have to move the swapfile or modify sandboxing options for logind[2].
