I have an Ubuntu virtual machine which I access via SSH. When I execute the who command I get nothing. Moreover I get this output when executing systemctl --user:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

When executing systemctl status dbus I get everything normal except for this line:

[system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)

The output before log is:

dbus.service - D-Bus System Message Bus

Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-01-03 14:12:08 UTC; 20h ago

The output of systemctl status systemd-logind is:

Any suggestion about what is going on?

The problem was solved - the directory /var/run should be symlink to /run, but for an unknown reason it was not.

Please refer to: Is my /var directory OK, since /var/run isn't a symlink?
