New to FAI, having some issues building

[Stuart Green]

Thanks Thomas

RE:

  *
This is an error because during the installation no dbus is
  *
 running (inside the chroot). But I'm pretty sure it does not matter for the running system later.

On the simple installation which finishes with a congratulations, after booting it and logging on I find:

root at localhost:~# ls -l /run/dbus/system_bus_socket
ls: cannot access '/run/dbus/system_bus_socket': No such file or directory
root at localhost:~# systemctl status dbus
Unit dbus.service could not be found.
root at localhost:~#
root at localhost:~# shutdown -h now
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
root at localhost:~#

The dbus packages are not present, after I apt install them and start dbus it stops grumbling.  Is something going wrong here or it is something I need to add to the steps?


Best regards,
Stu

You can ignore those warnings and also the other ones.
These errors come from packages not FAI itself.

This is an error because during the installation no dbus is
running (inside the chroot). But I'm pretty sure it does not matter for the running system later.

    > As I suggested in my opening words, is this going to be down to the environment?
No, it's not related to your Proxmox environment.
