Unable to interact with systemd via root #127

I'm having the same issue as #122 and #110, but can't execute any systemctl commands using sudo (or switching to root), and just get the following response:

~$ sudo systemctl list-units --failed
Failed to list units: Connection reset by peer

Non-sudo systemctl query commands run fine (non-query commands fail as expected).

~$ systemctl list-units --failed
  UNIT                       LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● systemd-remount-fs.service loaded failed failed Remount Root and Kernel File Systems
● multipathd.socket          loaded failed failed multipathd control socket

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

2 loaded units listed.

The only other help on the matter I've seen is someone using another method alltogether to set up systemd: https://superuser.com/questions/1509703/connection-reset-by-peer-on-systemctl-as-root which seems to recommend using this script to hack Ubuntu into making systemd work: https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/blob/master/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.sh though it mentions nothing about fixing root issues specifically.

Running genie 1.35 and Ubuntu 20.04.2

Any ideas?

Can you give me the output of both env and sudo env, please?

You aren't inside the bottle, otherwise there's be an INSIDE_GENIE environment variable present. There's no guarantee anything will work from outside it. Try again from inside the bottle, and it should work.

I ended-up setting the readiness timeout to 5 seconds in /etc/genie.ini and then running sudo systemctl mask multipathd.service once the readiness check timed-out. I then exited and restarted things with wsl genie -u followed by wsl genie -i. After that, everything started as expected, and I reset the timeout back to 180.
