dbus-daemon crashes #83

Closed aifoslinux closed 7 years ago

aifoslinux commented 7 years ago

I'm having issues with dbus-daemon ever since the dbus plugin became a service during booting. I've tested with the latest commit b45c3d5, but the issue persists. I have reverted to commit 6818813 and dbus loads fine and subsequently making elogind work as intended as well.

I've been busy preparing a livecd[1] in case you want to install it into qemu image and experiment with the odd behaviour.

Edit: I don't seem to have the issue on real hardware now, and I don't know how I fixed it. But the issue remains on qemu.

Hi, awesome of you to create the ISO helped a lot to track down the issue! :+1: 

-sh-4.4# which dbus-daemon
/bin/dbus-daemon

-sh-4.4# initctl status -v
...
6   crashed 0  [S12345----] /bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --system

-sh-4.4# /bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --system
Unknown username "pulse" in message bus configuration file
Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"

If I create a system group and system user dbus (and remove /run/dbus.pid) I can restart the dbus-daemon using:

groupadd -r dbus
useradd -r -g dbus dbus 
initctl start dbus-daemon

Hope this helps! :smiley:

Hello, thank you for solving this issue for me :) It was the packaging issue rather than finit related issue. It was the preinstall script that didn't run inside the chroot as it should have, so I've fixed it. Everything works as expected now.

It's a pleasure to use finit :)

No problem, glad to help! :smiley:
