java dumps core only on boot (crashplan)

Hello,

on my up to date Arch system I use Crashplan which is a java app for offsite backups. It used to work fine, until recently...

When booting java dumps core:

# systemctl status crashplan.service
● crashplan.service - CrashPlan Backup Service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/crashplan.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: signal) since So 2014-12-21 20:00:59 CET; 58s ago
  Process: 464 ExecStop=/opt/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 349 ExecStart=/opt/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 366 (code=killed, signal=ABRT)

Dez 21 20:00:59 horus CrashPlanEngine[464]: OK
Dez 21 20:00:59 horus systemd[1]: Unit crashplan.service entered failed state.
Dez 21 20:00:59 horus systemd[1]: crashplan.service failed.

# systemctl cat crashplan.service 
# /etc/systemd/system/crashplan.service
[Unit]
Description=CrashPlan Backup Service
After=local-fs.target network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start
ExecReload=/opt/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine reload
ExecStop=/opt/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine stop
Type=forking
WorkingDirectory=/opt/crashplan
PIDFile=/opt/crashplan/CrashPlanEngine.pid
EnvironmentFile=/opt/crashplan/bin/run.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

But when I start it manually with systemctl start crashplan.service it works fine.

I got no idea where to look for clues...

Thanks,
Florian

Hello Florian,
I'm experiencing the same issue, but with the crashplan enterprise pro version.
I've linked to this thread in a new comment here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/crashplan/
Hopefully someone can track down what's happening.

Were you aware of the fix required on this page? Logs are in /opt/crashplan/log/ .

Re: java dumps core only on boot (crashplan)

That fix is related to the UI component, it's the daemon that crashes. The fix proposed is about some SWT issue, which is a Java GUI toolkit.

BTW, for me it runs fine with the line

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 10

added to the [Service] part of the unit file.
