Odroid C2 service failures after systemd upgrade 253 -> 254

Postby vjoel » Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:35 pm

I'm running archlinux arm on Odroid C2 from this site with the standard (but old) kernel, 3.16.85-1-ARCH. It's been pretty stable for more than a year, but a recent upgrade of systemd from 253 to 254 has caused some breakage:

[code]
# systemctl list-units --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
* shadow.service loaded failed failed Verify integrity of password and group files
* snapclient.service loaded failed failed Snapcast client
* systemd-logind.service loaded failed failed User Login Management
* systemd-resolved.service loaded failed failed Network Name Resolution
* systemd-timesyncd.service loaded failed failed Network Time Synchronization

# journalctl -xeu systemd-logind.service
Aug 04 10:04:49 c2p1 (d-logind)[822]: systemd-logind.service: Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/proc: Device or resource busy
Aug 04 10:04:49 c2p1 (d-logind)[822]: systemd-logind.service: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind: Device or resource busy
[/code]

So I downgraded the three systemd packages that were upgraded:

[code]
# cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
# pacman -U systemd-253.7-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz systemd-libs-253.7-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz systemd-sysvcompat-253.7-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz
[/code]

and added these packages to the IgnorePkg section of /etc/pacman.conf:

[code]
IgnorePkg=systemd systemd-libs systemd-sysvcompat
[/code]

Now it seems as stable as before. Probably not the best fix, but maybe it will help someone. Cheers!

(ps. not sure why my code tags aren't working here.)

Can you put those packages somewhere for people that need them?
And if you have them for armv7h, please those too.

Currently Arch Linux is unusable on the Odroid C1 and C2 because of systemd.

I have only the aarch64 packages, unfortunately. Is there any way to upload these three files here? Otherwise, I'll try to find some 3rd party site, maybe github, so at least the files are linked to my account there, for the sake of trust.

I'm sad to see that, although the x86-64 archlinux package archive has old packages, the archlinuxarm archive at [url]https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/systemd[/url] does not, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
