[SOLVED]sensord.service fails to start

Hi there!
I made a clean Arch install a couple of days ago and I've had problems trying to get sensord to work apropriately. I've went through the troubleshooting of this particular service and googled a lot the last couple of days about this topic but I found nothing really useful (or nothing that I could really understand. Maybe my search terms are not so effective ).
# systemctl status sensord -l
[sudo] password for daniel:
● sensord.service - Log hardware monitoring data
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sensord.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since mié 2014-09-03 09:14:04 CLT; 7min ago

This is just a minor annoyance. My system performs great and I have no issues with it. It just annoys the heck out of me to see a service failing in my start up screen.
I don't know if hardware specs or other logs are useful. But if you need more info, just let me know
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm ...

Really ? Maybe there are services working but unrequested, have a look here:

I thought, that you explicitly installed sensord. Do you need a round robin database to visualize graphically your measured values in Nagios e.g. ?

  • [SOLVED] systemd : services failing to start on boot

    I have removed sysvinit completely as per the systemd wiki pages.
    I don't usually re-boot very often so I'm not sure exactly when the problem started.
    I only noticed this problem about 4 or 5 days ago.
    But now whenever I reboot my machine 2 services fail consistently.
    adsl.service
    colord.service
    They both start flawlessly once I can log in at a console.
    I'm using kde and in the last couple of days, while trying to fix my problem, the kdm service has failed to start a couple of times too - saying there is no X server.
    Before switching to systemd I never had any of these problems using the old rc.conf method. My DAEMONS array had the adsl service start after the network service.
    I need some help and advice to find out what is causing the problem and how to fix it.

    That seems to confirm your theory.
    eth0 link is not up when attempting to start colord and adsl
    So the $64,000 question:
    How do I defer them until eth0 is ready?
    Or how can I force the eth0 link to be up before colord or adsl try to use it?

    In this case the system service is indeed the one that failed, but mpd also provides a user service file and all the paths in demo's /etc/mpd.conf (even though that is the default config for the system service) seem to indicate a user service might be more appropriate.
    Indeed, I've made the appropriate change to run it as user service
    (put my mdp.conf in ~/.mpd, and add "mpd ~/.mpd/mpd.conf" to my home ".profile")

  • [Solved] kdm.service fails to start X with systemd 185-4

    Hello
    After updating systemd yesterday to 185-4 and booting my pc in the morning I found out that either the boot stops in the middle giving me just black screen or it would throw me to console prompt after some time.
    systemctl status kdm.service shows two errors
    Jul 1 11:20:57 pc kdm[285]: X server startup timeout, terminating
    Jul 1 11:21:08 pc kdm[285]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled
    The same can be observed in logs. However, there are no errors in Xorg.0.log.
    Moreover when I do
    systemctl stop kdm.service
    systemctl start kdm.service
    kdm loads fine and I can login to kde.
    I have temporarily reverted to 185-3 and the problem seems to be gone.
    Does anybody experience a similar issue?
    thanks

  • Sync problem on iPhone4 IOS5 and iTunes 10.5: Sync service failed to start

    After painful upgrade to IOS 5.0 on my iPone 4 which suffer from er 3014 unt I do full restore in other computer. Now two new problems cropped up again:
    A.
    When I sync IPhone with iTunes, the sync process started and freeze at "waing f sync service to start" and for 5 minutes or so, it end up with a dialog stated that the iPhone could not be synced because sync service failed to start
    To remedy, I have to click t start Sync again, and thios time, it will be completed.
    To solve tjhis, I have done the following, and the probelm still persist:
    a. Reinstal,l to repair iTunes
    b. Delete the Lockup folder
    c. Reset sync history
    d. reboot iPhone
    All cannot solve the problem. Help please, how to solve this problem?
    Also, when I backup my iPhone, it freeze at "Backing up iPhone" fr about 10-15 minutes, then start backup, until nearly finished, then it restart backup process again by itself, and again, freezing at "Backing up iPhone" for another 5 minutes, then it start backup and complete. I check the backup time in Preferences, it's correct.
    To solve this, I delete the backup, and start new backup, the process went OK. But when I start backup again, the above symptom (backing up, and restart backup again to complete) persist
    I have quite a rough experiences with iTunes-iPhone-iPad sync and backup all the times. Can the sync and backup process mad better and real trouble free Apple?
    Help and suggestion please. I sync iPhone and iPad2 with WIndow XP PC. iPad2 do not have problem. The problem is with iPhone4 IOS 5 32 GB (less than 2 GB free space on iPhone remains)

    I have very similar problems with my brand new iPhone and iTunes.  iTunes is virtually unusable even after multiple installs, uniinstalls, and reinstalls. Sync fails silently. Drop-down menus won't stay visible long enough to click any options.   Phone-support blames it on the fact that I use Windows XP however the iTunes page says right there: "iTunes 10.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7".  The only program I have problems with is iTunes.
    He said I have to revert to iOS 4 but he also said he thought that was impossible.  What does the OS on my phone have to do with the behavior of iTunes running on my computer?  iTunes crashed and had failures both before and after I updated to iOS 5.  Typical bad tech support just like every other company.  I thought Apple was different. Apple really stepped in it this time and it stinks.  I've seen a huge number of new problem reports here and elsewhere.

  • Is there a solution to the 'iPod Service failed to start' install problem?

    Like a lot of people, I have this problem that when I try to install iTunes 7 on Windows I get this error at the end:
    Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I tried various methods to solve this and none of them worked.
    Is there finally a solution from Apple regarding this issue?
    I am about to purchase an iPod Classic and this is a major drawback for me.

    Methods that I already tried (that I can remember):
    1. Uninstall iTunes + QuickTime and delete everything from the hard drive that's related to apple, including the registry, used CCleaner and install iTunes 7.5 - didn't work.
    2. run msconfig, disable all services (with MS services hidden) and startup apps, restarting and trying to install it again - didn't work.
    3. Trying to start the service manually with services.msc during the installation when the error appears - gives me an error.
    I did manage to install iTunes 7.0.2 (from OldVersion.com) and I tried to install iTunes 7.5 on top of it with the same results.

  • "iPod service failed to start" during install

    Trying to update iTunes to the latest version however, I get the message "Service, 'iPod service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services"
    I'm using the administrator account. I can (sometimes) see the ipod service when i run services.msc from the run dialog box however i am unable to start it from there either as it says there's something missing. I've tried following the complete uninstall of iTunes and quicktime instructions on the apple support pages to no avail.
    Whilst the installer wont finish, i can still run the new version of iTunes by opening it form the 'program files\itunes' folder but if i try to close the install box, iTunes gets uninstalled again.
    I do vaguely remember disabling / doing something to the ipod service at one point for reasons i don't remember. I realise this is most likely the cause but how to solve it... i'm drawing blanks.
    Bring me back my iTunes... Please.

    Trying to update iTunes to the latest version however, I get the message "Service, 'iPod service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services"
    that can happen sometimes if the itunes installer is having a hard time shutting down either itunes or quicktime (or applications using quicktime) prior to the install. so let's try a "download, restart, then install strategy."
    leave your ipod unplugged.
    download and save a copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (do not run the install on line, and do not start the install by clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file just yet.)
    iTunes 7.0.2.16 Installer
    shut down running applications and restart the PC.
    do not open any other applications prior to attempting the iTunes install. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
    does the install go through properly this time?

  • SRV2008R2 SP1: Software Protection Service failed to start. RDP not working

    Hi folks,
    I'm currently working on an issue on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Host where RDP from one moment tio the other does not work anymore.
    After an investigation I found that the Software Protection Service can't be started. The following events are recorded every few minutes:
    Event ID: 1001 - The Software Protection service failed to start. 0x80070002. 6.1.7601.17514
    Event ID: 7023 - The Software Protection service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    I searched and found a lot of possible solutions which are shortly listed below:
    I have confirmed that the sppsvc.exe file exists and has the proper permissions. Also replaced the file with the same file from another 2008R2 server
    Checked the spldr start value via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\spldr. This is 0 which should be fine.
    Checked the sppsvc paths and settings via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\sppsvc. All are correct.
    SFC /Scannow + CHKDSK /r
    System restore is (off course) not available
    Tried to reactivate the server by recording a different product key. Did not work.
    Removed the last batch of Windows Updates that were pushed towards the host. We believed it was caused by this but since you don't always need a host but only the VM's hosted on it it was a while ago since we logged in.
    Local firewall enabled and disabled. Also 
    Netstat does not show any listening ports for RDP (3389)
    Changed the port to 3390 but this port is not visible as well
    Also RDP from the affected machine to localhost does not work
    Since I can't find any more options in fixing this issue I'm wondering if someone else has some ideas which I can try. Otherwise a reinstall needs to be done.
    Hope to hear from you

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I noticed that you have tried lots of ways to solve this issue. On current situation,
    would you please let me confirm more details?
    Type services.msc in RUN to open Services. Then navigate to Software Protection service. If start it manually, what error message will get?
    I’m not sure if RDP issue was caused by the Software Protection service. So, would you please let me know the complete error message when RDP didn’t work? Meanwhile, please
    open Event Viewer and follow the path: Applications and Services Logs-> Microsoft-> Windows-> TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager and TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager. Please check if can find more clues. Those may help us to go further analyze
    RDP issue.
    Please
    perform a clean boot and check if this issue still exists.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

    Hi everyone:
    - We have detected that in our production database system there are two error messages:
    1. The saposcol service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    EVENT ID: 7000
    And
    2. Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the saposcol service to connect.
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    EVENT ID: 7009
    - Both of them have as source the Service Control Manager.
    The database system is a Windows cluster where the portal SCS are running with Oracle 9.2.0.5. The OS is a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.
    The path to the executable saposcol.exe is:
    C:\WINNT\SapCluster\saposcol service
    We have tried to uninstall and install the service as in note 82751 (through the windows services window), and the service saposcol is started, but these two errors steel appear.
    We have the same structure at Test system and saposcol works properly.  We thought if it could be possible that the overloading of the production system was causing a delay in the start of the saposcol service, and then the timeout is reached. Is it possible to increase this timeout, and in this case, will this solve the problem? (if so, how do we do increase it, and in which manner will affect our system?)
    Thanks and regards,
    Jose Sorli Esteve

    hi,
    install the saposcol service with administrator account
    and change the logon from nt service manager to SAPService<SID> user
    if it not works downlod the new one from sap service place
    and re install it
    regards,

  • Trying to install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP.  I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP.  I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since. 
    I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it. 
    Well, the only option that I can click on is Start.  When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer.  Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
    Where do I go from here?  Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice.  Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.

    Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start which eventually leads to windows error 193 which never goes away no matter what I do  and the dreaded

    Mid way through download of I-Tunes after clearing every Apple program from my computer I get "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start message.  Eventually leading to Windows error 193 (error 7).  How do I get Apple Mobile Device Service to start so I do not get error messages and failure of I-Tunes to install?

    If you have a 64-bit machine, then try the "for older video cards" version...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I'm installing the newest itunes 64 bit on my win 7 64 bit professional os. using the itunes installer it loads itunes part way and then i get an error message saying that bonjour service failed to start. i cant get itunes any further. i have to back out

    I'm installing the newest version of Itunes over the last version on my laptop. win 7 pro os. it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I can't retry, ignore only cancel which un-installs all that it has installed and reverts me to the last version which i had. any idea?

    it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
    Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • Help!!! iTunes install error "Apple Mobile Device Service Failed To Start". Error 7 (Windows Error 193)

    Help! Following a standard upgrade I got the error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
    I am running Windows 7 and installing again brings the message "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
    I have uninstalled everything Apple, deleted all related folders and run as administrator numerous times with no luck.
    I had hoped that iTunes 12.1.2 would resolve the issue, unfortunately it failed to do so leaving me iTunes free which is driving me mad!
    Can anyone advise what else I can do to resolve the error and bring back iTunes?
    Thanks
