please see bug #332633

/var/run should be a symbol link to /run.

Comment 2 Evgeny Bobkin 2014-01-24 13:40:47 UTC

I also still hit this bug

Comment 3 Evgeny Bobkin 2014-01-24 13:58:33 UTC

Well, It turned out, that there is a demon which should be started in advance:

# systemctl start bumblebeed
pls ~ # systemctl status bumblebeed
bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2014-01-24 14:54:30 CET; 7s ago
 Main PID: 1191 (bumblebeed)
   CGroup: /system.slice/bumblebeed.service
           └─1191 /usr/sbin/bumblebeed

Jan 24 14:54:30 pls systemd[1]: Started Bumblebee C Daemon.

and this fixes everything for me.
