Failed to get D-BUS connection (systemctl, pulse) after upgrade to 15.04

  • 772

I upgraded to 15.04 and I seem to have issue with permissions talking to D-BUS. Pulseaudio is completely broken (no sound, no volume controls), and systemctl (and also sudo systemctl) reports:

 $ systemctl status   # with sudo or without
 Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

I googled around and saw no clear answer or a way to find out what is happening... Any hint?

EDIT: everything works when booting with upstart.

upgrade

    Installing systemd-sysv package fixed this problem for me.

  2. As workaround add

    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/id -u

    into your environment, for example in .bashrc
