systemd 221-2 error: g-io-error-quark

MikeDacre · 2015-07-20 20:50:18

I have had an error with systemd twice which I have only been able to fix on reboot. For reasons I cannot figure out, systemd 'locks up' and no users can log in any more. Already logged in users can continue working just fine, all user-space software executes just fine, but systemd becomes unresponsive.

Specifically, executing any systemctl command (including systemctl daemon-reexec) results in the error:

** (pkttyagent:14006): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: Timeout was reached
Error registering authentication agent: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out

journalctl results in this error:

Error was encountered while opening journal files: Invalid argument

Looking in htop, `/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user` is stilll running, although the process state is 'Sleeping'.

Rebooting solves the problem, but rebooting isn't always possible. As I write this I am waiting for a series of important multi-day processes to finish before I can reboot, and no one can log in until then. This is the second time this has happened in the last 5 days, and it never happened before. To the best of my knowledge I have made no chages to the systemd configuration in months. other than to enable NTP with `timedatectl`.

I don't have access to any logs right now because journalctl is unresponsive, but last time when this happened I looked through all of the logs and could see nothing extraordinary. Certainly no code dumps. Just an error with nfsd, but all of my nfs drive are user-space drives, and contain no executables or system files.

This appears to be related to the bug described here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45451 and here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199031, with the difference that none of those users reported systemd login errors.

Any ideas?

I am encountering the same trouble. I end up with the "Timeout was reached" error after having my computer on for some time; I can't quite narrow down what might trigger the issue. Rebooting fixes the issue.

[root@glen-arch glen]# netctl stop ethernet 
Failed to stop netctl@ethernet.service: Connection timed out
Failed to get load state of netctl@ethernet.service: Connection timed out

[root@glen-arch glen]# netctl start wireless-sf
** (pkttyagent:5257): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: Timeout was reached
Error registering authentication agent: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Failed to start netctl@wireless\x2dsf.service: Connection timed out

Running systemctl commands also times out:

[root@glen-arch glen]# systemctl status dropbox
Failed to get properties: Connection timed out

If I open a terminal emulator and try to `su`, the command hangs indefinitely after I enter the root password.

journalctl shows no issues during the time I run these commands (I am able to run journalctl), however there are a few of these errors prior to starting:

agetty[50xx]: checkname failed: Operation not permitted

I can verify this issue as well; commands that lock the terminal that I've found thus far:

su, the terminal becomes unresponsive after entering it.
sudo, the terminal becomes unresponsive (ditto for software that call sudo or gksu)
systemctl reboot, shutdown etc (they could be attempting to invoke sudo)
shutdown and reboot, yield the following after a significant delay of several minutes:

** (pkttyagent:3460): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: Timeout was reached
Error registering authentication agent: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out
Must be root.

Further issues noted: CTRL+ALT+F1-12 causes the screen to flash blach for a frame and then it pulls back to X11, this would indicate that some software is actively interfering with me using sudo, su, or logging into a TTY (malicious intent? bug?)

this worked up until yesterday at noon when I pulled a database update in order to install the 32 bit version of SDL mixer, however I suspect the issue lies elsewhere, perhaps in the 4.1.3-1-ARCH kernel or perhaps in systemctl

systemd 223
+PAM -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK -SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID -ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN

At this point I have no option left but to hopefully kill X and then use a pseudo terminal to reboot, if that doesn't work an unclean reboot is my only recourse.

I tried to post my journalctl log but it conveniently stops at 5 am the 17th, it's 11 am the 21st now and the system ran fine several days ago.
I would've included the log anyway but SSL decided to break and I had to go back and try again, I'm almost suspecting that someone is tampering with my network stream.

I did find something interesting though, I have a zombie python2 process running.
That's not interesting on its own, but the fact that it's parent is pid 1 IS interesting, afaik systemctl should have freed this zombie a long time ago, no?

It's been several minutes since I found it, this probably isn't the cause but it might be symptomatic of the issue, here are a bunch of zombie daemons that don't reveal themselves until ps aux is run

ALL the zombies have a ppid of 1, every last one of them should have been freed by init/systemctl but wasn't.
there are more intermixed with normal processes as well.

I would wager that this is symptomatic of this issue.
So many zombies, this is almost at apocalyptic levels!
I have a bunch of other processes that aren't zombies like xfce4-terminal that are also parented to systemctl, even though they SHOULDN'T be.

Something is wrong but I don't know what.

Current version of systemd is 224-1, update to the latest version and check if you still have problems.

way ahead of ya, however it'll take up to two-three weeks before I can be certain since that's the uptime prior to last shutdown (a stable system should be able to have a theoretically infinite uptime, ignoring real world limitations such as power outages)

I also deleted my entire journactl directory and rebooted to allow systemctl to recreate it (I am not sure the reboot was required), between that and upgrading systemd the problem has disappeared completely for me.
