[SOLVED] Can't login to tty on getty

Maki · 2020-07-20 12:23:51

GUI session works just fine, however when i try to login on a tty i get

Jul 18 23:21:37 bleg login[3632612]: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to create session: Transport endpoint is not connected
Jul 18 23:21:37 bleg login[3632612]: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session

Tried with various users, with and without password, nothing seems to work.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66397 ?
(Multiple instances of dhcpcd)

Otherwise please post your complete system journal to add some context to the error (could also be a mounting issue, maybe systemd-homed?)

Thank you!
Here is my full log, btw i don't run dhcpcd or systemd-homed

More like "sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io" (full journal of the boot and also redirect it into a pastebin service, the pager capped the output)
The error is likely before the login attempt (failing logind for whatever reason)

Also "pacman -Qikk pambase pam" and "ls -l /etc/pam.d/" as a sanity check.

Maki · 2020-07-20 16:13:50

journalctl -b https://termbin.com/t1l8
pacman -Qikk https://termbin.com/ybt9
ls -l /etc/pam.d/ https://termbin.com/kkqk

backup file: pambase: /etc/pam.d/system-auth (Size mismatch)

Contents of that file?

The journal doesn't cover a failed login, does it?

Maki · 2020-07-20 18:22:05

Ah, sorry about that, yes journalctl -b doesn't show errors related to login.
I moved the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth file and reinstalled pam. Now login to tty works! Thank you a lot
Here is the old file: https://termbin.com/rce7
Here is the diff: https://termbin.com/hyvz

seth · 2020-07-20 19:04:30

Yeah, that explains it.
Any idea what happened to the file? (to prevent this from showing up again)

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I have no idea, that line existed in the file even in 2015 according to etckeeper
