Description

As discussed on tails-dev, this breaks shutting down the VM with virsh shutdown, and in turn makes shutting down the entire system take ages.

I had a quick look at this issue.

Just starting the service doesn’t work, because it requires dbus to be installed. You can see that with these commands, run as root.

$ systemctl start  systemd-logind.service
$ systemctl status systemd-logind.service
● systemd-logind.service - Login Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service; static)
   Active: inactive (dead)
           start condition failed at Fri 2017-05-12 01:53:28 UTC; 1s ago
           ConditionPathExists=/lib/systemd/system/dbus.service was not met
   ...

Ok, so let’s install dbus and retry.

$ apt-get install dbus
...
$ systemctl start  systemd-logind.service
$ systemctl status systemd-logind.service
● systemd-logind.service - Login Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service; static)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2017-05-12 01:55:58 UTC; 1s ago
   ...

Success !

After that, I tried a virsh shutdown from the host, it worked like a charm.

We need dbus anyway for the Feature #5630 branch.

Thanks a lot :)

This was, incidentally, fixed by commit:f8718d88fd2dbbaf60b2fd004eef5d74d5590ac3 that installs dbus — that was the only thing missing. The systemd-logind service is running in our current base box, and virsh shutdown works fine.
