Since today when I try to execute systemctl commandssystemctl using the root account they fail with Timeouta Connection timed out error:

>sudo systemctl
>Failed to list units: Connection timed out

SameThe same thing occurs with systemctl startsystemctl start or systemctl stop systemctl stopwhen ran as root commands when ran as root.

If I try to run the same commands using an user account they work, I don't get the Connection timed out error (except startstart and stop give the expected error due to lack of permissions in user account).

If I reboot the server, all services that I'm aware of start correctly but I'm I still get the same timeout errors.

Can someone give me some clues of how to troubleshoot the problem?

PD: Using openSuse 13.2 (Linux version 3.16.7-21-default)
