Trying to make install dbus -1.10.8 causes login failure

#1 Post by danantharaman »

Hi

I am using

Debian 3.16 Jessie

Recently I tried to upgrade the bluez version(from 5.23 to 5.38) on my system following the instructions here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... bluez.html. I also needed the development libraries from bluez hence the manual install. Before I actually updated bluez, when I did a make install on dbus (dependency for bluez) after reboot I started getting login failure (login service failed to start), some errors below

[Failed] Failed to start Login Service
...
[Failed] Failed to start Modem Manager
...
[Failed] Failed to start Network Manager
...

I also see

bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load Intel/ibt-hw-37.7.10-fw-1.80.2.3.d.bseq (-2) messages at the beginning of boot. I am using Lenovo yoga 2 with dual boot of debian and Windows. This system also has a combined bluetooth and wifi adapter I think. I tried to get the fw .ucode again and copy it over to /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode and this did not help. I dont know how to recover from this error. I dont have access to wifi, but I can use ethernet to get packages

apt-get update -> works
apt-get upgrade -> gets stuck half way through

I did a

dpkg --configure -a -> worked
apt-get purge dbus -> gets stuck when trying to remove bluez (still at older version 5.23), and needs a reboot. I tried dpkg --configure -a and then apt-get install dbus again and this gets stuck at Setting up colord (1.2.1-1+b2)

I am currently able to login to recovery mode. How can I cleanly remove the things installed with make install

I have also tried make uninstall and see similar issues.

In my systemctl --failed I see dbus and bluetooth service both were loaded but dbus failed to start. I think bluetooth is loaded after dbus.

One of the posts suggested using
delgroup systemd-jounal this caused further issues causing systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service to fail

if anyone knows how to fix this, any ideas/help is greatly appreciated

Thank you
Danantha
