This is just a cosmetical error message, it fails to run polkit as that's not available in emergency mode. But the reload works anyway. This got fixed yesterday in bug 1565617, so I'm marking this a duplicate. You can enter emergency mode by specifying "emergency" on the kernel command line, BTW. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1565617 "polkitd.service is masked" warnings on package install while policykit-1 is unpacked but not yet configured -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564220 Title: ISST-LTE:pVM:pinelp3:ubuntu 16.04: systemctl daemon-reload failed in emergency mode Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Ping Tian Han <pt...@cn.ibm.com> - 2016-03-24 23:19:51 == ---Problem Description--- After dropping into emergency mode and do some modification to the system's config files, I want to let systemd reload them but failed: root@pinelp3:~# systemctl daemon-reload Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1) root@pinelp3:~# This command works in normal mode though.
