[solved] systemd services not starting at boot (or at all)

On my router, some systemd services fail to start at boot.
The services are :
adsl (pppoe connetction on the wan interface)
shorewall (funny again for a router)
logind (brings up only tty1, and not the others with a 'timeout' error)
adsl starts fine manually after booting up
the others don't work, I have to launch shorewall with the old sysvinit rc script (and it works)
I really don't know, what happened to logind...

cups: avahi client failed
adsl: timeout (ppp0 running on eth0, the service did not found eth0)
shorewall: did not work by the systemctl command, only with the old rc script
I'm not sure if there was an error with logind, but I've had only tty1, not all the others (I have not touched /etc/inittab)
since this was a very old install (but up to date), I've decided to reinstall the whole thing,
Everything works
(But reinstalling does not solve any problem, it erases the problems...)

[SOLVED] systemd service not starting

Hi,
Been using Arch for just over a week now moving from Ubuntu and loving it. Achieved so much more on Arch in this short time until this evening.
I am trying to run a shell script at startup. I added the service file under /etc/systemd/system/myapp.service
With the following content:
[Unit]
Description=Notification
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/myscript
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
As it is I can run "systemctl restart myapp.service" and the script execute flawlessly however on reboot it does nothing and I get this error when I run systemctl status myapp.service:
systemctl status myapp.service
myapp.service - Notification
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/myapp.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 1970-01-01 10:00:08 EST; 14s ago

Other info:
Script starts with #!/bin/sh

Tried adding After=network.target under unit.
Tried Type=oneshot and forking

Only thing I dont get is the date difference? I have set the timezone correctly..
Any suggestions?
thanks

Reaching the network.target does not necessarily mean that an active connection has been reached. For example, if you use wicd or netctl-auto, it will report the stating of the service as successful after the daemon itself has started, but starting the daemon simply means that it is ready to start scanning for wireless networks and then connect.
If you want to be absolutely sure that there is a network connection before the service starts, you should use NetworkManager.service. That will also pull in the NetworkManager-wait-online.service which will not complete until a full connection has been reached. At that point the startup will have reached the network-online.target. So you should order the service after that instead. In reality, you should order it after that anyway, no matter what netowrk connection service you use, as that is a built in target to systemd.
Even though you have the RestartSec=35 and Restart=on-failure (which is a sane thing to do IMO), it is probably a good idea to order it After=netowrk-online.target anyway, as that will cause the service to start a bit later and at least attempt to order itself correctly. That way it will also ensure that the service is stopped before the network is taken down as well, hopefully ensuring a clean disconnect as well.

[SOLVED] Netcfg.service not starting with systemd

I have net-auto-wireless.service enabled and working, but when I try to start netcfg.service, it gives the error:
Job for netcfg.service failed. See 'systemctl status netcfg.service' and 'journalctl' for details.
"systemctl status netcfg.service" gives me:
netcfg.service - Netcfg multi-profile daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netcfg.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:43:05 -0400; 5min ago

Oct 04 13:43:05 arch systemd[1]: Failed to start Netcfg multi-profile daemon.
And the output of "journalctl" is:
Oct 04 13:43:05 arch netcfg-daemon[1510]: No recorded netcfg state to restore
Oct 04 13:43:05 arch systemd[1]: netcfg.service: main process exited, code=...=1
Oct 04 13:43:05 arch systemd[1]: Unit netcfg.service entered failed state.
Am I missing something in setting it up? I followed the netcfg wiki as closely as I could.

Good call, I changed it from "last", to the profile I use in /etc/network.d that net-auto-wireless autoconnects to. It failed for a different reason after changing the NETWORKS in /etc/conf.d/netcfg, because net-auto-wireless was still running.
But it works now, thanks for the help!
I wanted to use netcfg instead of net-auto-wireless because I was unable to find a suitable way to connect to available networks that is non-graphical, and I felt like giving netcfg a try and seeing if it's any easier than running "systemctl restart net-auto-wireless.service" every time I want to reconnect.
Although my question for this thread is solved, is there any way to have netcfg autoconnect to profiles once I am within range?

[SOLVED]dhcpcd does not start on boot anymore

Hello,
I reinstalled Arch last night to try and be as to the letter as possible because I had three bad installs( or so I thought https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195192 ) and it was going well. I tweaked some SSD Optimization configs and went to bed.
Today I wanted to install OpenBox so first I tried to update my system with pacman -Syu (without reading the change log or anything of course) and I couldn't download anything. A quick ping to google.com gave an unknown host error. Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection. The guide said that dhcpcd runs automatically on boot and I looked through the change logs at the places I understood and couldn't find anything about this being disabled on boot now. I do see that it was updated in the last 24 hours but again, nothing about auto run on boot being disabled.
Little things like this bug me, I can enable the service using systemctl and call it a day but I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this. If I'm the only one then it probably isn't a good thing.
SOLVED: Did not read the Beginner's Guide within context of the installation medium.

What packages were upgraded? If I am understanding you correctly, dhcpcd was enabled and working fine before the upgrade, but after the upgrade dhcpcd appears to be disabled. Is that correct? Two bits of informaiton you should post here are the complete list of updated packages and the output of
systemctl status dhcpcd
SirMyztiq wrote:Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection.
You previously say you upgraded then went to bed, so that would be the change. I'm a little confused by these seemingly contradictory assertions.
I apologize for the confusion.
I'll give you the current list of packages as soon as I install a browser on my machine(I'm on my laptop) but I can tell you that all I had last night was the "base" and "base-devel" packages installed. I mainly did tweaking like setting the scheduler dynamically on my ssd to "deadline" following the SSD Optimization wiki and read a bit about OpenBox to make sure I get it right. I also rebooted the computer a couple of times to check for that "time out" bug I mentioned. It all checked out, so I went to bed.
I power her up today, try to do a system update and I wasn't able to. A ping to google.com gave me an "unknown host" error. I checked both the "status" and whether it was "enabled" with their respective systemctl commands and both gave me the feedback that it was not active nor was it enabled.
I'll edit the original post to be more clear and look like I have some grasp of English.

[SOLVED] Nouveau Module not starting at boot. Starts with modprobe.

I am currently using 64 bit arch linux along with grub2 for the boot loader. When I boot into arch the nouveau does not look to start. If I run dmesg it has no mention of it. Once I am in the system I can run modprobe nouveau and it starts up fine.
my mkinitcpio.conf has the following for the modules configuration: MODULES="nouveau"
I have rebuilt the image with "mkinitcpio -p linux" and remade the grub configuration with "grub-mkconfig -o /dev/sda" . I also made sure nouveau was not in the modprobe blacklist because I did have the nvidia drivers installed before hand.
Any ideas on why nouveau doesn't start after Grub?

Thank you for pointing that out. I did follow that but I forgot I had also tried an older NVIDIA driver 304 to be exact. So instead of running the exact command they had I ran "pacman -Qs nvidia" which displayed the following.
local/libvdpau 0.7-1
Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-304xx 304.108-8
NVIDIA drivers for linux, 304xx legacy branch
local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards
So knowing the package name I removed it with the same command but with the proper NVIDIA version. "pacman -Rdds nvidia-304xx" . Every thing seems to be working now. Thank you again.

Remote Desktop Management service not starting. service-specific error: %%2284126209 - Event ID: 7024

Hi Forum members,
We have a client that has intermittent issues with RDS on a 2012 R2 server.
As an overview of the environment, the client has a single VMWare host support 2 x Windows 2012 R2 VMs one is the File/Print/Email server and the 2nd is the RDS server used to allow the client to run MYOB Enterprise. Both servers have the AD DS role and
DNS roles amongst others.
The 1st issue is that the RD Connection Broker shows the error: "The server pool does not match the RD Connection Brokers that are in it. and then "1. Cannot connect to any of the specified RD Connection Broker servers".
The above issue seems to be caused by the RDMS service not starting. When you attempt to start it, the service stops and the error in the title is logged in the "System" event log. Full transcript below:

I have been attempting to resolve these errors for some time, without success. I have read the many KBs and forum entries related to the above and applied a number of the suggested fixes, including the one which suggests to add the NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES
to the "Logon as a Service" in the "User Rights Assignment" of the "Default Domain Policy" which is linked to the domain level, that both servers are objects of.
My question to the forum is, can anyone come up with a solution to resolve the above issues and all the RDMS service to start which will then hopefully resolve the broker error?
Regards,
David West.

Hi David,
If virtual machines on the server are Windows Server 2012, then it is not supported to install Remote Desktop Connection Broker on a Domain Controller.
More information for you:
Remote Desktop Services role cannot co-exist with AD DS role on Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799605/de
Guidelines for installing the Remote Desktop Session Host role service on a computer running Windows Server 2012 without the Remote Desktop Connection Broker role service
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839
If the VMs are Windows Server 2012 R2, I suggest you install RDS on a separate machine to see if the issue persists.

Amy

Oracle distributed document capture service not started

Oracle distributed document capture service not started
and timeout

I did check the Distributed Document Capture Configuration (from the Start menu) and it also indicates that I have selected "Oracle Distributed Document Capture Prompted Login". Once I click "OK" after I supplied all the paths required by server settings, it also displays the error "The username and password could not be validated". What credentials should be entered in the User ID / Password / Domain fields? You should use the username and password entered while configuring the "capture" security model. Leave the domain field blank.
I have not yet configured the IIS at this point. Is it required for the Capture application to authenticate the user I specified during the installation configuration at login? IIS will serve web ODDC interface and will be needed for authentication while accessing ODDC web pages. I beleive that it is not needed for authentication from ODC/ODDC applets. However, when something is not working as expected, I would first finish all required installation and especially post installation setup steps.
I had a look at the IIS configuration in the installation document. It doesn't clearly state which document is the default document for the website one needs to create in IIS. Do you know what it should be? You have to add new web site, say like "Capture" and add virtual directory from assumed path like: C:\Program Files\Oracle\Document Capture\WebPages
For the default document I have WebCapture.asp.
The Oracle Distributed Document Capture service does no start on my PC. Is this required for me to atleast login to the Capture application? It's required only for processing the scanned batches.
I hope that this will help.

Critical Services Not Starting Automatically & Access to Server occasionally dropping out

For the last few months we have been trying to resolve an issue where access to files on the server (SBS2011 - running domain services, exchange, etc) get so slow or just unresponsive. Logging onto the server is also not possible till it starts responding
again.
We also found that when the server starts, the Netlogon services does not start automatically event though it is set to auto start. There are a number of other services mainly exchange services that do not start as well but it seems this may be due to the
net service not starting.
We have re-installed the OS but this does not seem to have fixed the issue. The environment is a mix of the SBS2011 server, two Windows Server 2003 boxes - one running Terminal Services. The other was being used for SAP but no longer in use. The clients
are mainly XP with a few Windows 7 machines. We are in the process of planning the replacement of the XP machines.

You re-installed SBS2011? - that seems rather drastic. Did you maintain your domain or just set it all up again?
This sounds like a DNS issue but have a look at the event viewer and google/post the Event ID and Source. Given those two you can start to track down the cause and possible fixes at www.eventid.net. Just be aware that SBS2011 has a lot of
"normal" event errors, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2483007
You should also run the SBS best practice analyzer and maybe run the "Fix my network" wizard in the SBS console. Also make sure SBS is the DHCP server for the network.

Fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting

Finally a fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting. Basically I got this from someone else in these forums and it worked. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Apple and delete any file in there that says Apple Mobile Device Services (I understand these are cached files...I had about 8 files to delete). Next go to your control panel, click on Add/Delete programs, find Apple Mobile Device Support and delete (remove) it. Once this is all done do not reboot, rather open itunes and go to Help menu /Check for Updates and update to the latest version. This will install the latest version of iTunes and also a new version of Apple Mobile Device Services. Next reboot and it should work for many of you...it did for me. Open iTunes and plug in your device...good luck. I wrote this from memory so if some of the phrases don't match exactly what you see I apologize. Also, this worked for me on a Windows XP computer.

Thanks for posting this, my iTunes randomly started saying the Apple Mobile Device was stopped, and apple's solutions didn't help. I hope this one will, but what do I do if I have the latest iTunes, so it doesn't update? Wait till they come out with an update? It says I need to run the iTunes installer, but I can't find that. Please help, this is really annoying me...=(
