Looking at the logs, there's an error before the one reported by David: ... Jun 21 07:31:39 virt kernel: Netfilter messages via NETLINK v0.30. Jun 21 07:31:39 virt kernel: ip_set: protocol 6 Jun 21 07:32:03 virt runuser[2667]: pam_systemd(runuser:session): Failed to create session: Connection timed out ... Apparently there's something wrong when pam_systemd try to communicate with logind in order to create the session. logind seems to be stuck and the D-Bus timeout expired. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.
