hwdb.bin does not exist during live system boot

[Bruce Pieterse]

Using the current daily build of vivid for Ubuntu Gnome in Virtualbox, after the welcome screen is displayed and switching to tty1 on the live CD I see:

starting version 217
hwdb.bin does not exist, please run udevadm hwdb --update
Network interface NamePolicy= disabled on kernel commandline, ignoring.
invalid key/value pair in file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-dmraid.rules on line 8, starting at character 95 ('a')
[45.279072] systemd-logind[3430]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: [e-mail]

Welcome to Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
...snip...

Last week the above output was present post-installation. Currently this is not present post-installation with the current daily build.

However the system-logind error (Unknown init) persists and is currently present post-installation with slight difference of user@999 becoming user@1000.

I found this bug report which has been marked as "Fix released" but not sure if these are related or not: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1190947.

I have a screenshot from last week which I installed a daily build image on physical hardware. Some of the errors in that screenshot are no longer present (whoopsie & basename). If you need it please let me know.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Erick Brunzell (lbsolost)]

I get the same error message during boot after upgrading Ubuntu GNOME from Utopic to Vivid, and running the suggested command makes no difference.

Trivially reproducible on booting current live CD. I hope this will go away with http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=ubuntu&id=9f79e0b541 , otherwise I need to debug more deeply.

Thanks for reporting!
