Description of problem: After a recent update, my systemd user sessions fails to start units. Any attempt to use "systemctl --user" prints the error: Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 Before the update, my systemd user sessions units were working as expected. I'd be happy to provide any additional information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa \*systemd\* systemd-python3-208-15.fc20.x86_64 systemd-journal-gateway-208-15.fc20.x86_64 systemd-python-208-15.fc20.x86_64 systemd-208-15.fc20.x86_64 systemd-libs-208-15.fc20.x86_64 $ systemctl --user restart emacs.service Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/emacs.service [Unit] Description=Emacs: the extensible, self-documenting text editor [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/emacs --daemon ExecStop=/usr/bin/emacsclient --eval "(kill-emacs)" Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=default.target
Running into this on F20 as well. $ rpm -qa \*systemd\* systemd-python-208-21.fc20.x86_64 systemd-208-21.fc20.x86_64 systemd-python3-208-21.fc20.x86_64 systemd-libs-208-21.fc20.x86_64 $ systemctl --user list-units Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 Is there anything additional that I could be doing to troubleshoot this?
The same on RHEL 7 too. $ systemctl --user list-units Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 $ rpm -qa \*systemd\* systemd-libs-208-11.el7_0.2.x86_64 systemd-sysv-208-11.el7_0.2.x86_64 systemd-python-208-11.el7_0.2.x86_64 systemd-208-11.el7_0.2.x86_64
Same problem on Fedora 20 $ systemctl --user list-units Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 $ rpm -qa \*systemd\* systemd-208-21.fc20.x86_64 wine-systemd-1.7.25-1.fc20.noarch systemd-libs-208-21.fc20.i686 systemd-libs-208-21.fc20.x86_64
Any chance that setenforce 0 fixes the problem?

After many systemd updates and upgrading to F21, I no longer receive this error message. I'm left to assume it was fixed somewhere along the way.
