          I had exactly the same problem today on my workstation - ubuntu 18.04.1.
          Finally (searching systemd source code) I have figured, that somehow
          my root folder = / ownership had been changed to me - the only user.
          Simple chown root.root / solved the problem :)
          ... after some 2 hours of searching.

          • Really troublesome that something would change ownership of the root directory... And that this would happen to more than one of you. Did you end up figuring out what changed those permissions in this way???

          • No, I did not. Actually I do nothing special on that machine as root = ubuntu upgrades. Very rarely something else. So I suspect some package update. In apt history there is only one package installed previous day (no updates): synology-note-station:amd64. But I did the same on another (practically the same) machine - no problems :(

          • Thanks for this. Noob question: Is there any side-effect to running the chown command? Do I need to clean anything up or revert any ownership afterwards? In case it helps someone, this happened to me during an upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04, where it said that systemd wasn't configured. It said I needed to run dpkg --configure -a to fix, which returned Setting up systemd (237-3ubuntu10.9) ... Unsafe symlinks encountered in /var/log/journal, refusing then cascaded failures after that. This fixed that and I was successfully able to re-run the dpkg command to complete the upgrade

            Encountered this problem as well.



            To add to the answer above, you need to make sure that the whole path belongs to root, not just /. Somehow my /var folder got the owner of mysql (good job, mysql), and sshd was trying to create /var/run/sshd, which failed.

                It seems it is a bug:
                systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails on btrfs

                      Encountered this problem as well.



                      To add to the answer above, you need to make sure that the whole path belongs to root, not just /. Somehow my /var folder got the owner of mysql (good job, mysql), and sshd was trying to create /var/run/sshd, which failed.
