Quoting upstream systemd developers (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/22737#issuecomment-1077682307): "We essentially traded one problem (lockup when starting services) for another (the failure described in this commit). I actually think that the lockup is worse. Here there is a simple solution: switch from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker. [...]
A proper fix will most likely be to make all dbus calls asynchronous in systemd, but that is a lot of work and it's unclear when/if it'll happen. The regression is unfortunate, but I don't think we can fix it in reasonable time." So I wonder what's the best path forward in Ubuntu... if we revert, we'll re-introduce the lockup/timeout problem with dbus-daemon. If we keep the current version, fwupd-refresh.service is broken. The comment at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/3037#issuecomment-1100816992 suggests that disabling the DynamicUser= setting makes the service work again. Maybe that's worth a try, in order to get both problems solved? (i.e. shipping an override config for fwupd) $cat /etc/systemd/system/fwupd-refresh.service.d/override.conf [Service] DynamicUser=no -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871538 Title: dbus timeout-ed during an upgrade, taking services down including gdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbus/+bug/1871538/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
