We return BUS_ERROR_NO_SUCH_UNIT a.k.a. org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit in various places. In #16813: Aug 22 06:14:48 core sudo[2769199]: pam_systemd_home(sudo:account): Failed to query user record: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.home1.service not found. Aug 22 06:14:48 core dbus-daemon[5311]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.home1.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.home1.service not found. Aug 22 06:14:48 core dbus-daemon[5311]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.home1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.home1.service' requested by ':1.6564' (uid=0 pid=2769199 comm="sudo su ") This particular error comes from bus_unit_validate_load_state() in pid1: case UNIT_NOT_FOUND: return sd_bus_error_setf(error, BUS_ERROR_NO_SUCH_UNIT, "Unit %s not found.", u->id); It seems possible that we should return a different error, but it doesn't really matter: if we change pid1 to return a different error, we still need to handle BUS_ERROR_NO_SUCH_UNIT as in this patch to handle pid1 with current code.
