[Solved] Fails to load systemd-modules.service

Kernel: 3.12.9-2-ARCH

$ systemctl status systemd-modules.service
systemd-modules.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't catch what you meant. Can you elaborate more on it?

It says "no such file" because you got the name wrong...

Hi,

Random terminal output.

No clear intent or expected outcome.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: [Solved] Fails to load systemd-modules.service

It says "no such file" because you got the name wrong...

The following is the partial result of executing "systemctl list-units":

systemd-fsck@dev-sda6.service            loaded active exited    File System Check on /dev/sda6
systemd-journald.service                 loaded active running   Journal Service
systemd-logind.service                   loaded active running   Login Service
[b]systemd-modules-load.service             loaded failed failed    Load Kernel Modules[/b]
systemd-random-seed.service              loaded active exited    Load/Save Random Seed
systemd-remount-fs.service               loaded active exited    Remount Root and Kernel File Systems
systemd-sysctl.service                   loaded active exited    Apply Kernel Variables

And, I checked with "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service", and it gives:

systemd-modules.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

You most likely typed "systemctl status systemd-modules.service" instead of "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" or else you wouldn't have gotten the not-found error.

Re: [Solved] Fails to load systemd-modules.service

$ journalctl -b _PID=127
Failed to parse relative boot ID number '_PID=127'

Try this instead:

$ journalctl -b 0 _PID=127 

The '-b' flag can optionally be given a negative number to indicate which boot you would like to be shown (for example, 'journalctl -b -1' will show you the previous boot).  So this way you are passing it that optional argument so that it knows for sure that the '_PID=127' is a new switch/argument*.

* Not sure if it would be considered a switch or an argument since it acts like a switch but looks like an argument.

Thanks for the explaination!!! ; Here is the output by executing the command:

Also, I reinstalled the virtualbox and host module packages, rebooted but didn't get it fixed

Re: [Solved] Fails to load systemd-modules.service

vboxsf and vboxvideo are guest modules, not host modules.

Re: [Solved] Fails to load systemd-modules.service

Damn, I must have added this when I was first installed virtualbox.

After deleting those two in my /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf

systemd-modules.service can now be loaded successfully.

Thank you all!
