Since this morning I have a strange problem, when I execute:

    systemctl status cups

I get:

    Failed to get properties: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out

This is with every service, not just cups.

I tried 'everything', even rebooting the system.

What could be the problem.

This is with:

    systemd 239
    +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN2 +IDN -PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid

On:

    Distributor ID: Debian
    Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch)
    Release:        9.5
    Codename:       stretch

I found out that in reality no reboot had taken place. For one reason or another that did not work. Doing:

    systemctl reboot

    systemctl poweroff

    init 0

    halt

All did not work. Those gave messages like:

    Transport endpoint is not connected

I did a hard reset and that seems to have solved my problem.

My problems started after an update of VirtualBox (and one other package). Why I do not know.
