hidepid service hangs on boot

Hello,

I have a problem with a hidepid package. The service file hangs on boot, with message "Waiting for the hidepid.service to start" with unlimited time to wait (and thus I am unable to boot).

I am trying to understand why this happens and seek some advice in the way I can debug the problem. Here is what I know so far:

  • Somehow there is no journal entries regarding to the hidepid service. So I am guessing hidepid service trying endlessly to wait for some other service.

  • The manual remount the /proc works after the boot, though.

For the reference, here is the hidepid.service file (basically, it is a soul purpose of this package to run this service file, for those who doesn't know):

[Unit]
DefaultDependencies=no
Conflicts=shutdown.target
After=systemd-remount-fs.service
Before=local-fs-pre.target local-fs.target shutdown.target
Wants=local-fs-pre.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mount -o remount,hidepid=2,gid=26 /proc

Any advice is appreciated!

Did you figure this out? I just ran into this too, after installing hidepid a few days ago.

hi tazmanian

not really. I simply remount /proc manually after the boot: mount -o remount,hidepid=2,gid=26 /proc
