Description of problem: Use systemd-run to launch a process in a new systemd scope, then run "systemctl show" on that scope. For example: $ sudo systemd-run --scope bash Running as unit run-5179.scope. # systemctl show run-5179.scope Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Not sure exactly which version fixed this, but I'm not seeing this bug on systemd-215-14.fc21.x86_64.
