[Bug 1564220] Re: ISST-LTE:pVM:pinelp3:ubuntu 16.04: systemctl daemon-reload failed in emergency mode

This is just a cosmetical error message, it fails to run polkit as
that's not available in emergency mode. But the reload works anyway.
This got fixed yesterday in bug 1565617, so I'm marking this a
duplicate.

You can enter emergency mode by specifying "emergency" on the kernel
command line, BTW.

  ---Problem Description---
  After dropping into emergency mode and do some modification to the system's config files, I want to let systemd reload them but failed:

  root at pinelp3:~# systemctl daemon-reload
  Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
  root at pinelp3:~#

  This command works in normal mode though.

  Hi,

  For how to drop into the emergency mode, I just add a nonexistent
  partition item, something like

  /dev/nonexistent1 /nonexistent1        xfs     defaults       1 2

  then reboot the system. So systemd won't find the device and will drop
  into emergency mode.

  thanks.
