The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting. Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Did not receive a reply.

What happens if you try to start the upgrade again?

I see some errors in the beginning of your log file (about grub-pc, dbus), that prevent other programs from being installed, and at the end I see succes on grub-pc and dbus, so maybe some of the problems have already been resolved by aptitide, and a retry would be able to get some steps further?

The issue is not solved if I do aptitude safe-upgrade I get following

Can you follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure and post the results here?

I am not clear with Step 1 of the link you gave.It is a server does not have a monitor or GUI attached to it.
How do I change entries to original server my all sources.list file entries are pointing to US mirrors.

Sorry for not realizing that you are using text terminals only.
In that case you would have to manually edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and change the server names to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, but of course if you are already using the central servers you can skip that step.

Ok I followed that guide step by step but the problem is still not resolved.

Step 1) sources.list

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So here are errors while doing this let me know what next to look for?

I assume the main problem is within these lines:

Setting up dbus (1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1) ...
The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting.

Apparently the upgrade of dbus cannot proceed because dbus wants to create a user for dbus, but that one is already there. My guess is that manually removing that user will allow dbus to be successfully installed (again), and that will hopefully remedy some of the other dependecy problems.

Try these commands:

sudo deluser --system messagebus
sudo dpkg --configure dbus

check if the /etc/grub.d/README file have the executable bit set, it shouldn't, but the errors suggest that it does.

@Manfred I am not clear with your message after doing above as you mention should I also do apt-get dist-upgrade
@Krzysztof Klimonda yes executable bit is set on that file should it not be there.

No, it shouldn't. Remove it (chmod -x /etc/grub.d/README) and see how far will the configuration process go (simply restart the upgrade).

Now, the "The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting." is a message from the adduser command which is called in the postinst script for the dbus - it's not fatal. But the fact that we can't contact the system bus probably is.

To see if you have a system bus running look for the dbus-daemon --system --fork process in the ps aux output (well, --system --fork are arguments for the dbus-daemon but they should show up in the output). If it's not running then you have to start it
* remove /var/run/dbus/pid
* and then launch it: $ sudo service dbus start
now you should see if it's alive, and if it is, try running the configuration process from the beginning.

For the executable bit on /etc/grub.d/README: the command
sudo chmod a-x /etc/grub.d/README
should correct that.

If the two commands given in the previous post (deluser and dpkg) do not show error messages, I would try the following command next:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

If there are error messages please paste them here again, if there are no error messages then you might again start the Troubleshooting procedure - maybe without the very last line.

The command sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might upgrade your system from 10.04 to 10.10. You should execute this command only if you are sure that you want to upgrade to maverick.

I just see that Krysztof was faster with his response, follow his advice first.

I tried to post the message as early as you people replied but launchpad here is giving me problem in submissions

@Krzysztof Klimonda I removed the x permission

Then from your message second thing which I was not very clear so did not try is

ps aux | grep dbus-daemon gives following
102 22788 0.0 0.0 23524 860 ? Ss 15:08 0:00 dbus-daemon --system --fork
root 22810 0.0 0.0 6152 712 pts/3 S+ 15:08 0:00 grep --color=auto dbus-daemon
root 26185 0.0 0.0 23416 868 ? Ss 12:32 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

So when you say
dbus-daemon --system --fork process
then which pid from above should I use.
I checked /var/run/dbus/pid
its value is 22788
Let me know I will proceed.

@Manfred Hampl
I want to know from your message
what is the command to undo following (so that before I proceed I am clear)
sudo deluser --system messagebus
I have taken a backup of /etc/passwd file is that sufficient or some thing else is needed.
Once Krzysztof Klimonda's method fail then I would try yours but do let me know a way to get back to previous state if I delete the user from your command.

You can hack /var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst to make it pass configure phase (backup it and remove dbus-uuidgen and dbus-send calls from it, call dpkg --configure -a, make sure that it passes, restore old config). It will make dpkg working again, but won't fix the underlying cause. I'd suggest restarting dbus after doing that (sudo service dbus restart), but you have some desktop components installed (e.g. gnome-keyring) and it will most likely kill desktop session - I have no idea how proficient you are with terminal, and if you can restore desktop from it.

@Krzysztof my question to undo the deleting of system user should not give you a feeling that I never used terminal.Since the place where I am doing is a production server so being extra cautious I asked that.
Now coming to your message you say

"You can hack /var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst to make it pass configure phase"

What exactly do you mean by this?
I checked the script
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst
and found following 2 lines

 dbus-uuidgen --ensure

  dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call \
                --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \
                / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig > /dev/null

are you referring to these.
You mean to say I remove (or comment these taking backup of this script) and then dpkg --configure -a
Then when you say make sure it passes you mean
apt-get dist-upgrade or
apt-get safe-upgrade should run without any error.
The server on which I am telling the problem does not have a GUI installed.It is available only on SSH.
Let me know if I have understood you correctly.

Yes, that's what I'd do at this point.

I digged through documentation and see that Krzysztof is right with his comments:
> Now, the "The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting." is a message from the adduser command which is called in the postinst script for the dbus - it's not fatal. But the fact that we can't contact the system bus probably is.

I was wrong and the error mesage about the 'messagebus' user is just a warning that will not stop the installation. Removing the messagebus user will not change anything, so please ignore my request to do that. (If you have done it already this will not do any harm, "sudo dpkg --configure dbus" will repair it).

As Krzysztof already wrote most probably there is some problem with the dbus daemon, and getting it to behave correctly must be the next step. "sudo service dbus restart" would be my first try.

@Krzysztof I did what you said and the update hanged in between

What next let me know.

Well, it looks fine, although I don't understand why was it trying to start all service twice. What you should do next is, at the next opportunity, restart server to make sure that there are no problems with it. In the meantime you can try launching dbus-monitor --system to see if it can connect to the system bus.

Also to me it looks fine.

The main thing of course is to check if the system is running as it should.
Your original problem was "My virt-manager has stopped working on a Ubuntu server 10.04 64 bit edition." I do not know what the status of that problem is now.

Ok I typed

dbus-monitor --system
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.1257 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.1257"
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=7 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.1258"
   string ""
   string ":1.1258"
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=8 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.1259"
   string ""

   string ":1.1258"
   string ":1.1258"

That original problem is solved I checked /var/run/libvirt-sock I changed the permissions to 777 and was able to connect.
So I think both the problems are solved.This appears to be a bug here

mine is a 64 bit server.Where I installed Lucid 10.04 so which file should I really use not clear in this.
Also have I identified correctly if this is the same bug which I pointed.

After a reboot all the sites are down and seems that every thing has stopped working.
That includes the virt-manager when I connect to it

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 150, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error cannot parse QEMU version number in ''

I see above error.All the services running on this server has stopped.

Ok, start by checking if dbus is started:
$ sudo service dbus status
if not, start it from terminal to see what does it return:
$ /bin/dbus-daemon --system
if it doesn't complain, then see what happens when you launch it using
service:
$ sudo service dbus start
if it starts it should bring all services that depend on dbus up.

When ever I do an ssh to the said server and type virt-manager I see following error

process 3829: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
and if I try to start dbus then

service dbus start
start: Job failed to start

That doesn't make much sense, as the /etc/init/dbus.conf generates this
file before launching dbus-daemon. You can try launching $ sudo
dbus-uuidgen --ensure to see if it complains about anthing, but I don't
see how it could. Maybe your /etc/init/dbus.conf is broken? Mine has
354f802b65fd2ada471950aeab6009bf md5 hash.

Right now the server is unable to boot at all.I am not getting any reply to ping also.

Thanks for following the thread for so long.Things have not turned finally as we wanted.I have decided to format the system rather than having a buggy update.It is a production machine and every thing hosted on this setup has gone down.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
