Hi Nick --

Unfortunately I can't do it on a machine when it gets frozen due to the
issue:

# cat /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/debug.conf
[Manager]
LogLevel=debug

# systemctl daemon-reexec

# systemd-analyze get-log-level
Failed to get log level of org.freedesktop.systemd1: Connection timed out

Extract from log files:

and so on.

I can't reboot the PC remotely -- need to do hard reboot tomorrow.

Title:
  system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed
  out

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  We have the following issue affecting a significant portion of our
  machines running the latest stable Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.

  This happens from time to time.

  Typical messages:
  "Reload daemon failed: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)"

  or
  "dbus-daemon[948]: [system] Failed to activate service ..
  " 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out"

  # busctl  | grep org.freedesktop.systemd1 command shows it is as
  'activatable'

  The error indicates a system deadlock, most commonly between systemd
  and the DBus service, preventing system services from starting. The
  only solution is to hard reboot the system.

  AFAIK, here systemd is trying to talk to D-Bus (or a systemd D-Bus
  interface) and not getting a timely reply.

  dbus is just reporting the timeout — not the root cause.

  systemd is the provider of org.freedesktop.systemd1, and if it’s not
  answering D-Bus in time, the deadlock is on its side.

  Google suggests updating the operating system and systemd to a newer,
  however we already run the latest stable version of systemd.
