[SOLVED] journald not logging

Hi all,
I am really confused, since journald is not logging anything. Actually there is no log file at all. I did not change anything, so I have no idea what's going on. So, do you have an idea, what I should try next (re-installing the packets didn't fix the problem).
Thank's in advance!!
no log files:
% journalctl -xn
No journal files were found.
The reason is that, journald is not running.
% systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● systemd-journal-flush.service loaded failed failed Trigger Flushing of Journal to Persistent Storage

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.

  • [SOLVED] Slim not logging me in into openbox

    Right. Since my Arch Xfce system crashed on me, I decided to reinstall, this time with openbox.
    The problem is that after I have configured ~/.xinitrc and X, and Slim seems to be configured too, when I rebooted, logging in through slim only put me back to slim, for some reason. What should I do? I cannot log in through slim at all now.
    Last edited by Firepower (2010-01-18 08:00:51)

    Also, to get a clue you can use something like this to catch the error messages:
    exec ck-launch-session openbox-session 2> ~/.xsession_errors
    After your X session aborts and puts you back in the Slim login screen, drop to VT1 and check your ~/.xsession_errors file.

  • Can not log on after successfull installation - SAP Netweaver Trial JAVA

    Hello,
    I have successfully downloaded and installed the NW Java trial. (NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3.rar)
    I can see in SAP MMC that all the services was started. At http://vjm:50000 I can see the default page.
    Unfortunately I can not log on to any page that need SAP authentication (eg. User management, NW administrator),
    but can log to pages which needs just basic browser authentication (eg: Web Service Navigator, UDDI client, System Information).
    The portal also does not let me log on (http://vjm:50000/irj ).
    When I get the standard SAP NW log on screen, after entering Administrator with the correct master password, simply the log on screen appears again (the password field is cleared). I also tried some incorrect user name / password just to check the difference. In that case I got the correct error message.
    I installed the software with WMware, Windows 2003 server, allocated enough disk space and 1.6Gbyte RAM. The installation finished without errors. Prior, I installed the MS loopback too (tried without it too). In SAP MMC everything is green, only have an open alert in J2E 00 -> Services -> Security -> Aggregated Data -> Invalid session count "262 > 200 last reported value above treshold".
    I am using the standard internet explorer coming with Win2003 server.
    Tried the users: Administrator, SDM, Guest, ADSUSER. I know that the password is correct, because I don't get any error if I use it, just getting the log on screen back ...
    Could anyone pls help me how can I log on to the system? Or is there any security trace file or log which could help me solve this problem?
    I am desperately trying to install this trial, I completely reinstalled the software 5 times but still can not use it

    Hi,
    is your problem persisting?
    CAVE: If you use a wrong user/pw combination > 3 times the account of the user may be locked!
    try j2ee_admin instead of administrator or try adm together with your Masterpassword
    Do you have to specify the users pw inside the installation procedure? In "normal" installations this has to be done.
    If not the pw´s in the documentation of the previous answer`may fix your problem.
    The sap mmc is irrelevant for user authentication.
    Green means your system is running, nothing else.
    kind regards
    Tom

  • I have an original iPad and when I try to login on Yahoo through Safari it will not log me in. What could be the problem?

    My original iPad will not log me into Yahoo through Safari. It's been this way for one week. I can access Yahoo on my PC with no problem so I think the problem is my iPad or Safari.

    Your description of the behavior  of the ipad1 during a login attempt is more precise than mine, it is the exactly as my ipad1 reacts and supposedly as all other iPad1 will behave. This could be solved either by apple with an update of the safari browser for ipad1. I do not think that apple will do that. Also yahoo could undo the change of the login procedure which they recently made and which is incompatible do the ipad1s safari browser. They hardly will do that either if not be urged by lots of ipad1 users.
    !!!!  SO SEND COMPLAINS TO YAHOO, PHONE THE HOTLINE ETC  !!!!!!
    Otherwise you have to buy a new iPad or to change the email provider.

  • Oracle error 1012 ("Not Logged On") & AUTOTRAN=Y

    Hi.
    I have a problem trying to access an Oracle 8.0.6
    database from a 6.5 Tuxedo server.
    Both TMS and server execute tpopen correctly
    All services are declared as AUTOTRAN
    Everything seems to be OK according to the logsgenerated by Oracle XA libraries
    However, I always get the Oracle error 1012 ("Not Logged On")
    when executing SQL statements from my pro*C server.
    I just can't figure out why this error occurs.
    I also tried to explicitly open a transaction from the client,
    but the result is exactly the same (tpbegin is successfull,
    however).
    Could someone help me to make this work ?
    Thanks.

    Solved by removing "DB=<db>" from my OPENINFO string, as far as this parameter
    should only be used when using proc*C "EXEC SQL ... AT <db>" statements.

    You should not disturb them, What are the users, groups, executable, read, write permissions earlier and after changes and now?
    And i interestingly wanted to know why you wanted to test such things on production. Its like playing with fire so be cautious or else it costs a lot :)Basha,
    I don't think that there was any other way for the OP to solve the error. Either he could wait (which doesn't help normally in this error) or had to bounce the db, which he did. Also, with permission he meant, telling to the App team and than going for a bounce. I can't a mentioning of changing permissions anywhere .

  • I have a problem in imessages I can not log on

    I have a problem in imessages I can not log on and update through the application.Every time you logon work shows me a message saying "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later"

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
    There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
    Step 6
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 7
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 8
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 10
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 11
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion) will not log into my 1and1 server to connect to my e mail. My snow leopard macbook does not have this problem - Apple support say it is a 1and1 problem! do I have to wait for an update of Mountain Lion?

    My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • Cisco Secure ACS not logging correctly

    I asked an ACS question in this thread the other day and it got answered so not sure if this is the right thread or not but I couldn't see any ACS questions under the Security or AAA threads.
    I'm running 2 ACS 4.2(patch 11) servers and the logging seems to have stopped working. Whilst some events are logged sporadically (some devices in particular consistently work - CatOS switches seem to still log TACACS accounting), the majority of messages I would expect to see in most of the logs are not present.
    I have tried changing the frequency of the logging from monthly to weekly to daily and each time I change the frequency its as if some messages that were "held up" suddenly appear in the penultimate log file where they should have been present the whole time.
    I can confirm that the ACS server is handling the AAA correctly just that it seems to not log it.
    I was thinking about raising a TAC but thought I'd try here first.

    Paul
    I was browsing by and I want to express our collective thanks to those who raise a question and then come back to post an answer when they have solved the issue. It helps make the forum more useful when people can read about an issue and can read what resolved the issue. And it is even better when the original poster is able to post the solution.
    So thanks to you.

  • After update to 11.3.1 users are not logged in to the ZAA

    Hi,
    we did a update from 11.2.3 to 11.3.1 a few weeks ago. All works fine but there is one problem. A lot of users are not logged in to the ZAA. If i try to start a remote session with the username i get the message the user is not logged in to any device.
    If i connect me to the device and look at the ZAA the user is not logged in and i can not log in because i get the error message that the username or password is wrong.
    The solution is to go to the registry -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZCM\ZenLgn\Hist ory\Cache\domain.local and i have to delete the user.
    After that the login works fine
    Sometimes i have to delete the user in this registry key too -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZCM\ZenLgn\Hist ory\CachedUserZenNames
    Is that a known bug? What can i do to solve that problem?

    I would recommend an SR.
    You should not have to do that.
    There were some similar bugs in the past, but were fixed in 11.2.x and
    should not exist in 11.3.x at all.

I see nothing in http://192.168.0.1/Log_incoming.asp (yes, I changed its IP address from its default 192.168.1.1). I do see logs in its outgoing though. I assume incoming log table is logging blockages and other datas.
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!

    Same problem in IE6, SeaMonkey v2.0.6, Firefox v3.5.11, etc. on two different computers (Windows XP Pro. SP3 and Debian/Linux). I only see:
    Incoming Log Table  
    Source IP Destination Port Number
    No IP addresses, etc. Just empty logs. I also tried power cycling the router too.

  • Computer recognizes camera, but does not log & capture

    I teach in a classroom where we have 23 new iMACs and the new Final Cut Studio. FCP recognizes the Sony miniDV camcorders we have, but some of the computers, although they recognize the camera, will not log and capture. The new iMACs plus the loading of FCP (making an image and transferring it to all the computers) was done by the tech dept. The question: Why does FCP on most of the computers recognize cameras and log and capture, while on others it does not? It was suggested I go to a FCP users group meeting to ask the question. Does anyone out there know? Thanks.

    If it's working correctly on some machines and not others, and all installs were identical, then here are a few things to try:
    • First, are the FireWire cables good? Test one from a working machine on a non working one.
    • Also, are they inserted securely at camera and mac ends?
    • Do any of the non working macs have other firewire devices connected to other firewire ports? The iMac has only one firewire bus, even though it has multiple ports, and this can sometimes cause a problem.
    • Is everything being turned on and connected in the proper order? Usually it's best to have the firewire cable connected at both ends, and the camera powered on before the mac is started up.
    • Check the cameras themselves; in the camera's record in/out menu, it should be set to play out DV, and when the firewire cable is connected, most Sony cams will display a DV in/out message on the LCD screen.
    • And, finally, are you using the same Easy Setup for all of the macs/cameras? I'm guessing you would want the NTSC DV setup; this should be chosen before a new project is opened to capture into; are all machines set up the same way?
    Sony camcorders generally work pretty well with FCP, so I'm guessing one of the above choices will solve your problem.
