Sorry, systemd cannot work in a chroot by design. service/invoke-rc.d can start SysV init scripts, but this is still dangerous and not at all recommended. chroots should have a policy-rc.d that denies the startup of services from packages.
If you want to run services in an isolated environment, please use containers. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594738 Title: systemctl not working inside chroot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1594738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
