Getting Failed to connect to bus: Permission denied error

Help
1

Hi All,

I setup a simple git server with cgit on my nixos based server.

I created this user:

users.users.git = {
    isSystemUser = true;
    group = "git";
    description = "git user";
    home = "/var/lib/git";
    shell = "${pkgs.git}/bin/git-shell";
    openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [
      "my pub key"
    ];
  };

  users.groups.git = {};

  users.extraUsers.nginx.extraGroups = [ "git" ];

since adding this when I do a nixes-rebuild I get this error:

❯ nixos-rebuild switch
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
updating GRUB 2 menu...
activating the configuration...
setting up /etc...
reloading user units for root...

Failed to connect to bus: Permission denied
Failed to connect to bus: Permission denied
setting up tmpfiles

Permissions for the home folder that this user has is:

drwx------ 7 git git 4096 Apr 15 16:15 /var/lib/git

any thoughts on what this error means and what the problem good be as I am out of ideas?

Many thanks all for your time and help.

For reference see conversation on matrix .

Resolved my problem by using a different name for user/group than the one I had chosen (i.e. git changed to cgit ).

I can only assume that something else in my config was also setting up the git user that had an interactive session (ref & ref) which caused the error.

Many thanks all.
