dbus: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out

I keep getting the following error messages in the syslog of one of my servers:



# tail /var/log/syslog
Oct 29 13:48:40 myserver dbus[19617]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out

The FTP logins themselves seem to work without problems for the user, though. I've got a couple of other servers also running ProFTPd but so far never got these errors.



They might be related to a recent upgrade from Debian 7 to Debian 8 though.



Any ideas what the message want to tell me or even what causes them?



I already tried restarting the dbus and proftpd daemons and even the server and made sure that the DBUS socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket is existing but so far the messages keep coming.

  • What does systemctl status -l dbus-org.freedesktop.login1.service report when run as root? Does anything stand out in the output of journalctl (especially around the times of the error messages)?

  • So far it did help for the day. I've now rebooted the server to see if the problem comes back as a simple reboot never helped before I reported the problem here.

  • The restart seems to have fixed the problem. Almost disappointing ;) What did it do that a simple "shutdown -r now" couldn't fix? Thanks for you help!

  • So far it did help for the day. I've now rebooted the server to see if the problem comes back as a simple reboot never helped before I reported the problem here.

Restart logind:



# systemctl restart systemd-logind


Beware that restarting dbus will break their connection again.

Reboot was the only solution that worked for me. I killed the runaway dbus process and other things failed.



This is what happened when i tried to reload httpd-



Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 timed out (g-dbus-error-quark, 20)
Failed to reload httpd.service: Connection timed out


Centos7 is buggy.

    Restarting only systemd-logind service is not enough, it just postpones the main problem.



    Seems like this is caused by too many files pilled up under '/run/systemd/system/', created by the service and not properly cleaned up, especially on hosts with a lot of logins. Eventually after some time you would start seeing some weird behavior like hostnamectl not reporting a thing, or timedatectl reports Failed to query server: Connection timed out and other odd things. As well the symptoms reported originally.



    One workaround is to delete all 'session-*.scope' files and to restart systemd. Restarting the host is not necessary in that case.
    This probably is related to a bug in systemd and dbus, hopefully in next updates they will be fixed.

      I was faced with the same issue today and i found out that it was initially caused by a service eating up all available memory.
      I found the related log lines, which made clear that it is caused by memory allocation in the /var/log/messages log.



      systemd: Starting Session 750154 of user root.
      systemd: Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory
      systemd: Assertion 'pid >= 1' failed at src/core/unit.c:1997, function unit_watch_pid(). Aborting.
      systemd: Caught <ABRT>, cannot fork for core dump: Cannot allocate memory
      systemd: Freezing execution.
      dbus[697]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out


      To find out the service using most of the memory I executed this:



      ps aux --sort=-%mem


      To solve the issue i first tried to free the memory, but still systemd-logind was not able to start up.
      Therefore I had to reboot the server and the issue was solved.

        Great tips thanks! Here's the issue from DMSEG:



        [   20.166678] systemd-logind[4362]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
        [ 20.166743] systemd-logind[4362]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error
        [ 20.309833] systemd-logind[4400]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
        [ 20.309886] systemd-logind[4400]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error



        • systemctl restart systemd-logind did not work

        • --reinstall kept failing

        • ended up removing and installing systemd


        root@testrack:/home/testrack# apt remove systemd
        .
        root@testrack:/home/testrack# apt install systemd
        reboot
        .
        testrack@testrack:~$ systemctl daemon-reload
        testrack@testrack:~$


        Thanks.

                Reboot was the only solution that worked for me. I killed the runaway dbus process and other things failed.



                This is what happened when i tried to reload httpd-



                Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 timed out (g-dbus-error-quark, 20)
                Failed to reload httpd.service: Connection timed out


                Centos7 is buggy.

                    Restarting only systemd-logind service is not enough, it just postpones the main problem.



                    Seems like this is caused by too many files pilled up under '/run/systemd/system/', created by the service and not properly cleaned up, especially on hosts with a lot of logins. Eventually after some time you would start seeing some weird behavior like hostnamectl not reporting a thing, or timedatectl reports Failed to query server: Connection timed out and other odd things. As well the symptoms reported originally.



                    One workaround is to delete all 'session-*.scope' files and to restart systemd. Restarting the host is not necessary in that case.
                    This probably is related to a bug in systemd and dbus, hopefully in next updates they will be fixed.

                            I was faced with the same issue today and i found out that it was initially caused by a service eating up all available memory.
                            I found the related log lines, which made clear that it is caused by memory allocation in the /var/log/messages log.



                            systemd: Starting Session 750154 of user root.
                            systemd: Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory
                            systemd: Assertion 'pid >= 1' failed at src/core/unit.c:1997, function unit_watch_pid(). Aborting.
                            systemd: Caught <ABRT>, cannot fork for core dump: Cannot allocate memory
                            systemd: Freezing execution.
                            dbus[697]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out


                            To find out the service using most of the memory I executed this:



                            ps aux --sort=-%mem


                            To solve the issue i first tried to free the memory, but still systemd-logind was not able to start up.
                            Therefore I had to reboot the server and the issue was solved.

                                        Great tips thanks! Here's the issue from DMSEG:



                                        [   20.166678] systemd-logind[4362]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
                                        [ 20.166743] systemd-logind[4362]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error
                                        [ 20.309833] systemd-logind[4400]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
                                        [ 20.309886] systemd-logind[4400]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error



                                        • systemctl restart systemd-logind did not work

                                        • --reinstall kept failing

                                        • ended up removing and installing systemd


                                        root@testrack:/home/testrack# apt remove systemd
                                        .
                                        root@testrack:/home/testrack# apt install systemd
                                        reboot
                                        .
                                        testrack@testrack:~$ systemctl daemon-reload
                                        testrack@testrack:~$


                                        Thanks.
