kdbus: dbus activation of org.fedoraproject.rolekit1.service failed
Last modified: 2015-08-06 22:07:41 EDT
Description of problem: I spun up a Fedora Server 23 Alpha TC2 system and installed the Rawhide kernel, then rebooted with kdbus=1 I then tried to run 'rolectl list roles', which returned "Rolekit is not running". So it failed to provide D-BUS activation functionality, which is problematic. When I manually ran the service, D-BUS communication between the client and the daemon seems to be working properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.2.0-0.rc4.git2.1.fc24.x86_64 systemd-222-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the above kernel with kdbus=1 on the kernel boot prompt 2. Run 'rolectl list roles' as root on the system Actual results: "Rolekit is not running" Expected results: Rolekit should be dbus-activated and return the list of available roles for deployment. Additional info: There's nothing particularly special about rolekit's d-bus activation, it's just a convenient test because it's part of the standard Fedora Server install and has a simple CLI that uses the API.

(In reply to Jóhann B. Guðmundsson from comment #1) > rolectl source > https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/rolekit.git/tree/src/rolectl Actually, we recently moved the upstream sources to https://github.com/libre-server/rolekit/blob/master/src/rolectl. I need to close out the fedorahosted one. Thanks for the link, though, Jóhann. That probably would be useful info for the BZ.
Indeed. This is a fallout from the forced broadcast-filtering in bus-proxy (added in systemd-223 [1]). Patches pending on github [2]. With [2] applied, everything works fine for me now. Thanks for the report! Once reviewed, the fixes will go to Rawhide. [1] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/606 [2] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/800
Another race condition fixed [1]. I verified that this indeed fixes the issues with `rolectl`. Please reopen if it turns up again! Thanks! David [1] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/806
Yep, this seems to be fixed in 224. (At least in the sense that running 'rolectl list roles' spawns rolekit.service. It doesn't produce any output here, but this seems to be a different issue.)
