Several systemd services failed [SOLVED]

graysky · 2012-07-04 02:19:23

Not sure why these guys are suddenly failing:

$ sudo systemctl --failed
UNIT                           LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    JOB DESCRIPTION
systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service loaded failed failed     Cleanup of Temporary Directories
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service loaded failed failed     Recreate Volatile Files and Directories

Some debuging info:

$ sudo systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service - Cleanup of Temporary Directories
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service; static)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue, 03 Jul 2012 22:15:12 -0400; 2min 42s ago
	    Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5)
	 Process: 13787 ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --clean (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service

Jul 03 22:15:12 simplicity systemd-tmpfiles[13787]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mpd.conf:1] Unknown user 'mpd'.
Jul 03 22:15:12 simplicity systemd-tmpfiles[13787]: stat(/run/user/facade/gvfs) failed: Permission denied

I deleted the mpd.conf but am not sure what's up with the gvfs thing.

$ sudo systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - Recreate Volatile Files and Directories
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:27:47 -0400; 2h 51min ago
	    Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5)
	 Process: 4070 ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Here is the output from journalctl if it helps: http://pastebin.com/bBdDJhYJ

Did you see this in your log;

Jul 03 19:27:43 simplicity systemd-tmpfiles[4022]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mpd.c...

? You get more with journalctl -a . I think you already looked at this thread; https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143778

Very odd... upon a reboot this morning, I have no errors at all. This was after removing the mpd.conf as stated in my first post.

I am also experiencing this issue with mpd. I deleted the mpd.conf and everything was ok until mpd was upgraded.

Open a bug report against mpd:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mpd.conf 
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mpd.conf is owned by mpd 0.17-1

This file assumes that the user wants to configure it to use the user mpd which the package does not create.

I'm guessing you're running the mpd system service as your user. You have two choices:

1. Copy the tmpfile to /etc/tmpfiles.d/ and in the file change mpd to $USER.
2. Create a systemd user service and place it in /etc/systemd/user/.

I ship a systemd user service file with mpd-git. Maybe a request needs to be filed that it be included with the official mpd package as many people run mpd as their user.
