[SOLVED] some problems after reinstalling all packages

Question

Hi all,
I had to reinstall everthing on the computer via
pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq)
then I move a few files back to their original place such as
/etc/shadow and /etc/passwd
now i'm having various problems
1) I can't run
systemctl
as a normal user anymore; I have to sudo into it.  I get this error message:
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
2) libreoffice wont run from my regular user account.  I get this error message:
The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed
I tried uninstalling then reinstalling libreoffice.  Didn't fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan
