[Bug 1302264] Re: systemd-logind assert failure: error.c:319: Assertion failed in nih_error_get: context_stack != NULL

[Stéphane Graber]

Tracked done the problem to an extra nih error processing call which was
asserting. Dropped it and uploaded the fix to the queue, it should
hopefully be accepted very soon.

Title:
  systemd-logind assert failure: error.c:319: Assertion failed in
  nih_error_get: context_stack != NULL

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Initially presents as a 'hang' during bootup. Checking the upstart
  logs it looks like systemd-logind is failing.

  I tried a few different approaches - and eventually found that
  installing cgmanager allowed the system to reach a x11 login

  checking into the logs now I continue to see errors:

  but the system seems to working now.
