fwupd 1.2.3 Debian : Failed to connect to daemon: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out #915

Can you get the fwupd --verbose output please. |
My guess is the systemd unit isn't getting installed somewhere proper, or that the information needed for dbus activation isn't. For example maybe something in /usr/local isn't in default search path on Debian 9. |
please also see the issues I had during build and how I solve them, maybe it is related: |
And do you have any fwupd related packages installed from Debian repos? |
Regarding this:

This behavior exists with upstream dbus as well. I've filed this bug for upstream tracking. I've also adjusted https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/wiki/Compilation to reflect the information discovered in this bug. |
Scratched my head for a while with this error on Ubuntu 20.04: The wiki say root@test-NUC8v5PNK:~/fwupd# cat /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf
<busconfig>
<includedir>/usr/local/share/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
</busconfig> :) |
That is odd to me, but go ahead and add it to the wiki page with a footnote! :) |
