systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service failure

Good evening friends.

I recently made a fresh install of arch linux on my pc and since the first boot up i get this error:

systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service failure
Failded to start create volatile files and directories

When i used "systemctl status" command on it, it said something about unkwnon groups in usr/lib/... somewhere, i can't remember all of it, because after i rebooted and tried the same command, it only said that the process failed, without giving much on details.

What might be the problem here?

Just a guess, but I think you might have some unknown groups in usr/lib/... somewhere.

You'll really need to try harder to get the logs. They're still in the journal.

Thanks for the answer.

Well, i'm still working on the log finding part, as i'm not sure where they are supposed to be. I checked the /var/log folder files, but it seems that they are not readable/binary maybe?

P.S. Is this something that i might ignore if i don't find a way to fix it?
