Can't connect non-root user to bus for "crc setup"

[Jason M]

Hi,

I'm on day 2 or 3 of struggling with this. I'm trying to setup OKD on a fresh install of Ubuntu (a remote connection).

I keep getting stuck on "crc setup":

~# sudo -u nonroot /root/bin/crc setup
INFO Using bundle path /home/nonroot/.crc/cache/crc_libvirt_4.12.1_amd64.crcbundle
INFO Checking if running as non-root

INFO Checking if crc executable symlink exists

INFO Checking crc daemon systemd socket units    
INFO Setting up crc daemon systemd socket units  
Executing systemctl action failed:  exit status 1: Failed to enable unit: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1

I've been trying to use ChatGPT to help troubleshoot it, but it just leads me in circles, restarting dbus, systemd, etc. It even has me trying to start some non-existing service (I presume from some older or alternative version of crc / OKD):

sudo systemctl enable crc-daemon.service
sudo systemctl start crc-daemon.service

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
