I tried rebooting my CentOS 7 server but it gives ridiculous error messages.
As root (of course):
# systemctl reboot
Authorization not available. Check if polkit service is running or see debug message for more information.
Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.
Exit 1
Does polkit need to check whether root has the right to reboot the machine??? If so, why?
# systemctl status reboot.target
● reboot.target - Reboot
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/reboot.target; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:systemd.special(7)
Exit 3
Do I need to enable the reboot target? Why would this be disabled by default?
Perhaps this will work?
# systemctl start reboot.target
Authorization not available. Check if polkit service is running or see debug message for more information.
Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.
Exit 1
OK, force it, then:
# systemctl --force reboot
Authorization not available. Check if polkit service is running or see debug message for more information.
Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out
Exit 1
And the server is still up.
As weird as it may seem, trying running
sudo systemctl --force reboot
It has popped up in a couple of searches I made. It may be related to issues with a DBus service restarting.
Can't reboot. Slow and timing out. Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
