Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

Let's start by mentioning that I am an enthusiastic novice at best.

This morning I ssh'd into my file server to run my weekly pacman update.
When I tried running pacman, I was informed that the database was locked.
(I didn't record the exact message but it was the standard one I've seen in years past when I screwed something up.)
I tried to remotely reboot the machine, and again was informed that I didn't have rights (or the ability) to do so.
(Again I didn't record the exact message as I was starting to feel a bit panicked.)
I went to the local console to try and log in.
There were some mashed characters on the screen (probably my cats ass typed it), but I was not able to get to a terminal login.
I returned to the ssh'd machine and tried 'sudo systemctl status'
Sudo worked but I noticed a couple processes without anything identifying except for the process numbers: 16093 and 16094.

I'm not sure what these are or what spawned them.
I went ahead and hard rebooted the machine, and after a clearing those pesky orphaned inodes, I was able to ssh back in.
pacman was again working as usual and those errant systemctl units are gone.

So my question is: did I just forget to finish an update a week ago and left the system in a locked state, or is something nefarious afoot?
(I do have some devices on this network that I believe are untrustworthy.)

Thanks, H

Additionally, should I find myself in a situation like this again, what are the better steps to take to identify the root cause?

Re: Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

Except for those non-name process, I don't see anything remotely concerning about your description.  There is a pacman database lock that can stick around if you interrupt an upgrade or similar process.  This is well covered in the wiki: you'd need to remove the lock file - this has nothing to do with "admin rights" specifically (you'd need root access to delete the file, but running pacman "harder" with more privileges will not magically get rid of the lock file).

The inability to reboot could be any one of dozens of mundane / benign things - without the error message it's impossible to know *which* problem it was, but here to, nothing suspicious.

The two no-named processes are a little odd - but still not really sufficient to suspect anything "nefarious" as there still are a wide range of "mundane" ways in which that could happen.  If you hadn't rebooted, you could have looked up more information about those under /proc/$PID/ but that's now gone.  If they show up again, you could investigate further.  If not, then there's no concern.  If you are unable to reboot in the future, then post the actual error message.

So overall - there's really nothing to see here nor anything to be concerned about.

Re: Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

Thanks for the response Trilby!

One more quick question.
If the database was locked due to an unfinished update, would a reboot delete the lock file?
I was a bit surprised that only rebooting allowed pacman to work again without manually deleting the lock file.


Thank you!

Edit: I do use aurman to update my AUR packages, so this could be where I wandered off.

Better remove that lockfile yourself and run an update to be sure that the unfinished update did not left essential packages broken.

Re: Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

I did re-run and finish the update, but deleting the lockfile was unnecessary.
After the reboot, pacman worked as normal as the database was no longer locked.

Re: Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

Typically no, a reboot would not remove a stale pacman lock file.

It may be that pacman was still running and waiting for user input in some detached process, and on shutdown it handle a signal and was able to clean up.  Although if this was a "hard poweroff" this would be yet less likely.

The other alternative is that you were incorrect about the actual problem in the first place and it wasn't actually a pacman database lock but some other issue.  This is impossible to know as you didn't actually report the true error message but rather have a paraphrased vague recollection of it.

In either case, there's no way it was some nefarious process that created a lock file, just to mess with you, then was able to remove it just in time for a forced reboot.

You're absolutely right, but if it had code in the boot process clean up it's mess, that's possible.
Anyway, that's too many hypotheticals.

If I see it again, I'll disconnect the machine from the internet, avoid the reboot, and come back with specifics.

Thanks for your Feedback!

Re: Temporarily Lost Admin Rights? [MOSTLY SOLVED]

I hope this isn't considered a necrobump offense, but...
I've been checking the server from time to time since my initial post.
It's always been clear skies until today.
Checking systemctl and the system is degraded.
The offending service is archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service which sounds suspiciously related to my initial problem.

However, even with this service failed, I'm not locked out of a pacman update as I was before.
Also no unusual processes appear to be running now.

Around the time this service failed, I see in my journalctl -b

I'm wondering why it always fails on keenerd@archlinux.org?
Note that I am on the LTS kernel for this old beast and this machine may simply be dying.
Considering the note "Start request repeated too quickly" in systemctl, I may just need to increase a timer for the key update? 
But I'm also distracted by network manager changing the MAC address of a network interface I'm not currently using. Is this normal behavior? Confirmed normal behavior for NetworkManager during scanning for security.

Currently my best plan is to do this:

mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /tmp
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate
systemctl restart archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service

As mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … ce_failed/

Finally I should add that I have noticed what appears to be a new memory leak I cant identify.
It's probably nothing or related the those docker containers. (Portainer and PiHole)
