This is related with systemd and dbus. Possibly nsswitch, ldap and nscd. However dbus sees the user as not being authenticated. As such, I'm switching this over to dbus.
We see this issue every now and then depending on what we install so I feel there's a race condition taking place which affects the order. I'll put more details below, hopefully we can at least advise others on this particular scenario if it's not a bug, however as systemd has before, after methods, perhaps we can refine the unit files? ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => dbus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885948 Title: systemd 229 (16.04) and 237 (18.04) error with "Failed to get properties: Access denied" when ran as non-root user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1885948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
