[SOLVED] Couple of issues with systemd

EDIT: Both issues seem to have solved themselved mysteriously.

Switched over to systemd on my X-less home server and mostly have things running OK.

At the end of my startup, after a rather long pause, I get this message:

[FAILED] Failed to start Login Service.

But I can actually log in, so I don't know what this is about.

# systemctl status systemd-logind.service

Also when I try to run systemd-analyze, I get this after a long pause:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    time()
  File "/usr/bin/systemd-analyze", line 91, in time

EDIT: I have python2-dbus installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Couple of issues with systemd

From a chroot, use the workaround from the comments section from this AUR package. Because, if you look carefully, it's related to a very similar error.

Workaround:

# mkdir -p /include/python2.7
# ln -s /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h /include/python2.7/pyconfig.h

By the way, someone from the IRC channel claimed he was getting these errors and he even linked to this topic. Since he was already chrooted into his Arch install from a Knoppix LiveCD, I suggested he run these, he did, and then he didn't come back. So I'm guessing it worked... If anyone else is having this issue, you should reply here if it worked or not (to confirm or deny that the workaround is good or not). This information could be useful for someone else. Edit: A few hours later he said it didn't help.

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Re: [SOLVED] Couple of issues with systemd

I got basically the same symptoms as the op, but alas on my system the problem didn't vanish magically.
The workaround didn't work for me either.

Re: [SOLVED] Couple of issues with systemd

ema, welcome to Arch.

You will get better help if you open a new topic (you can point back to this one for reference). Many people will miss your post because this topic is marked [SOLVED]. Also "I got basically the same symptoms as the OP" is not very descriptive. Please provide more information about exactly what is wrong and what you have done to try to solve the problem.

You might benefit from reading the How to Post section of the Forum Etiquette.

How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Re: [SOLVED] Couple of issues with systemd

Hello,
I got the same errors as hellomynameisphil and ema and my problems didn't solve themselves mysteriously and workaround didn't work neither. I described the problem and what I've done here:

Then why should you need to post here? That's effectively cross-posting, don't do that.
