[bananapi] systemd services fail on startup

[smohr]

Hey guys,
when I boot my pi (/proc/version)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Linux version 3.4.90 (bananapi@lemaker) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) )')
some services don't start properly:

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

92 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Has anybody an idea what the problem is about?
What config/log-files should I post here?

I have already tried several reboots, a full system update (pacman -Syu) and a reinstallation of all packages (pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq)).

Thanks a lot for your help!

Same problem on my odroid-u2. Apparently SECCOMP support is "forced" in the current systemd build.
If you look at the log messages is states things like:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 5.114470] systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=228/SECCOMP
[ 5.204230] systemd[1]: Failed to start Journal Service.

[ 8.739487] systemd[196]: systemd-networkd.service: Failed at step SECCOMP spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd: Invalid argument
[ 8.875057] systemd[1]: systemd-networkd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=228/SECCOMP
[ 8.989340] systemd[1]: Failed to start Network Service.
[ 9.024360] systemd[1]: systemd-networkd.service: Unit entered failed state.
[ 9.028842] systemd[1]: systemd-networkd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
')

It's because the kernel is not built with SECCOMP support, but libseccomp does not expose a check to systemd for determining if it's actually enabled at runtime.

I am going to try patch and rebuild the package:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ch;msg=128

[h0tw1r3]

So I rebuilt with the patch above and now systemd works again.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('h0tw1r3', 'S')o I rebuilt with the patch above and now systemd works again.

I'm having this exact same problem in my Odroid U3, (uses the Odroid U2 image). I tried the suggestions by WarheadsSE and Chazy here...

viewtopic.php?f=60&t=10650&start=30

These solutions did not work for me.

@moonman
You mentioned that odroidu2 kernal has seccomp enabled so I don't have to rebuild. The date on the image I pulled is August 2, 2016. Did this patch make it in?

[moonman]

It did not. https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... nux-odroid

I am having the same problem on standard Raspberry Pi 2 (Archlinux Armv7) after updating :

systemd[359]: systemd-logind.service: Failed at step SECCOMP spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind: Invalid Argument
systemd[1]: Failed to start Login Service.

systemd[367]: systemd-logind.service: Failed at step SECCOMP spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind: Invalid Argument
systemd[1]: Failed to start Login Service.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Login Service.

systemctl indicates that Journal Service, Login Service, Load Kernel Modules, Network Service do not load

it seems this is a recognized bug or omission on arm* , SECCOMP is not enabled, is there any news of an update that would fix this ? or should i try to apply h0tw1r3's patch ?

thanks

1) necro
2) you've probably not gotten your /boot mounted while doing the upgrade, because this should be there and perfectly functional.

[pedruski]

hello WarheadSE

thanks for your reply

1) what do u mean by necro ?
2) how should i fix this ?

best

[WarheadsSE]

Fix it by ensuring that /boot is mounted, and then re-install the package (the kernel.img is key, here)
