I had SELinux installed on my system which actually was a bit annoying. I tried to remove it. After that my system is unable to start. The error that is showing up is:

unable to connect to system bus : Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket : No such file or directory

I tried to check the status for the dbus service by service dbus status and it returned dbus service running

What should I do?

    Exactly what did you do? – Michael Hampton Mar 18 '13 at 11:56

    The OS is started if you got to the point of getting a DBUS error and being able to run `service`. What else are you trying to run? – Chris S Mar 18 '13 at 12:43
  • @Michael `sudo apt-get purge selinux` was what I did @Chris Well other crucial services were not able to run.Such as the `network service`,`smbd` and for most `Xserver` was not able to start. – Arush Salil Mar 20 '13 at 08:46

Removing SELinux (by wiping out the package) is NOT the correct way to deal with it.
If you want SELinux disabled, disable it (or set it to "permissive" mode).

I would suggest reinstalling the package (you may have to boot to a recovery disk for this).
