[SOLVED] "No connection to service manager" when enabling services

Question

Following the wiki, trying to convert one of my Arch boxes to pure systemd. At step five ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stallation ) where I am supposed to enable units to replace the daemons from rc.conf I hit a brick wall. Basically any time I use the systemctl command I get the message "No connection to service manager"
So running:
# systemctl status dbus
returns:
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
Any idea what is going on?

Answer 1

I have this same error:
# systemctl -a
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
# systemctl enable syslog-ng.service
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/syslog.service'
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service'
[root@FX-8120 etc]# systemctl start syslog-ng
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
[root@FX-8120 etc]#
# uname -a
Linux FX-8120 3.8.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 20 22:10:25 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# pacman -Q systemd
systemd 198-1
I can't remove  initscript becouse more demons don't work propely with systemd like network, cond, aiccu, cpufreq, spamd, teamspeak3-server, etc....
Have you any idea why don;t work statu option systemctl?
