Description Sorin Toma 2013-05-20 19:15:16 CEST

$ urpmi mageia-prepare-upgrade2-2.mga2

At the first boot, the messages from dracut shows that the move is done cleanly, but sysctl gives an error when trying to start /var/tmp
Dependency failed. Aborted start of Setup links in /... running kernel [ABORT]
Dependency failed. Aborted start of Mark the need to...el after reboot [ABORT]
Dependency failed. Aborted start of Relabel all file...s, if necessary [ABORT]

$ systemctl status var-tmp.mount:
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/systemd/private: No such file or directory

$ ls -la /run shows the existence of only one directory inside: /run/udev/

dmesg shows multiple lines containing:
systemd-cgroups-agent[PID]: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /org/freedesktop/systemd1/private: Connection refused

same message after rebooting with the standard kernel
starting dbus-launcher by hand, followed by /bin/systemd creates the directory /run/systemd, but there is no socket inside, just 2 empty subdirs "ask-password" and "system"

- I've tried twice, it seems consistent( https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4967 )
- There are eight third party installed packages on the system: 
teamviewer
fluendo-dvd (from Mandriva)
tv-maxe
bleachbit
google-chrome-stable
rar (Mandrivaclub.nl)
flashplugin
skype

Hmm, interesting. I think it might be the existence of a /var/tmp mount that is confusing things. I'll have to do some tests with a similar FS layout to say for sure.

Are you able to comment out this mount point in the fstab and see if the boot proceeds OK?

Comment 3 Sorin Toma 2013-05-22 01:33:39 CEST

thank you Colin, 
It's looking good all the way, I consider this bug closed.
I've totally forgot about mounting /tmp and /var/tmp as tmpfs, can somebody append the errata for online upgrade with this info?

Closed

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2013-05-22 10:21:54 CEST

Just FYI, /var/tmp shouldn't really be tmpfs. It's being designated as a semi-permanent tmp space that will survive across reboots. /tmp on the other hand is getting nuked on every boot.

Thanks for reporting back.
