Description Paul Whalen 2021-05-26 13:37:40 UTC
Description of problem:

During the boot of recent f35 iot nightlies, dbus-parsec shows up as failed in the boot messages:

[FAILED] Failed to start PARSEC-encrypted DBus secrets daemon.
See 'systemctl status dbus-parsec.service' for details.

After the system is booted, the service is running:

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
Changing version to 35.

The issue is still present in Fedora 38:

$ journalctl -fu parsec
Jul 09 19:42:31 localhost systemd[1]: Starting parsec.service - Parsec Service...
Jul 09 19:42:31 localhost parsec[804]: Error: Permission denied (os error 13)

Comment 11 Björn Lindström 2023-07-22 19:10:36 UTC
I also see the same thing as Dávid, on:

● fedora-iot:fedora/stable/aarch64/iot
                  Version: 38.20230707.0 (2023-07-07T08:09:28Z)

which has dbus-parsec-0.4.0-4.fc38.aarch64

Comment 12 Björn Lindström 2023-07-22 19:18:37 UTC
Found that the permission issue was due to somehow the file that we get a permission error on has this ownership:

$ sudo ls -al /var/lib/parsec
total 12
drwxr-x---.  3 parsec  parsec         4096 Mar 29 00:00 .
drwxr-xr-x. 26 root    root           4096 Jul 10 09:22 ..
drwx------.  2 dnsmasq parsec-clients 4096 Mar 29 00:00 mappings

Looking at parsec.spec, it looks like this directory is supposed to be owned by parsec:parsec .

After doing 'sudo chown -R parsec:parsec /var/lib/parsec', the service starts.
