Description of problem: certmonger does not start when initially installed: # /sbin/service start certmonger Starting certmonger: Error connecting to D-Bus. [FAILED] Restarting the messagebus service will let certmonger start. # /sbin/service restart messagebus # /sbin/service start certmonger
We basically need a 'killall -HUP dbus-daemon' or equivalent added to %post to get the message bus to allow certmonger to claim the service name it attempts to register when it's started.
I have the same issue when testing on a new VM installed from scratch: Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Linux ca1.example.com 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 23:57:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ipa-server-2.0.0.pre1-0.fc14.x86_64 could we add the workaround in comment 1 to either the ipa-server-install script or the ipav2beta1 release notes at http://freeipa.org/page/IPAv2_beta ? ( which is linked from http://freeipa.org/page/Main_Page for # RELEASED FreeIPA v2 Beta 1 (2.0.0.pre1), Release Notes under the news section )
at second though, probably the release notes would make more sense since it seem to be a F14 issue more than IPA itself, I will update my ks %post section.
update: in my test case, the workwound in comment 1 did not work for me, I had to do the following in order to get certmonger to start and to be able to complete ipa-server-instal: /etc/init.d/messagebus start ipa-server-install --uninstall ipa-server-install ...options...
We made a change in IPA post-beta to always start the messagebus service.

Please pardon the comment spew. I wasn't thinking quite right when filing the update for F14 and F15, which should already have included this. The testing update for F13 adds a 'killall' to the %post as noted in comment #1 to get the message bus to reload its configuration, so that it'll permit certmonger to start and claim the service name on the bus.
