Debian Configuration :: Installing Libpam-systemd
Aug 12, 2015
I upgraded my machine from Wheezy to Jessie, opted to not install systemd yet. When i try to upgrade kde-plasma-desktop, apt doesn't let me do it.
For some reason "libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 215-17+deb8u1) but it is not installable"
Installing systemd-shim doesn't work. Libpam-systemd package site gives impression that you would be able to use systemd or systemd-shim.
Tried looking through changelog, but it didn't really give any hint.
At 215-6 there are just
Code: Select allSwitch libpam-systemd dependencies to prefer systemd-shim over
systemd-sysv, to implement the CTTE decision #746578. This is a no-op on
systems which already have systemd-sysv installed, but will prevent
installing that on upgrades. (Closes: #769747)
Version of libpam-systemd that would be installed is "Candidate: 215-17+deb8u1"

On macbook air 6.2, i've installed a Debian jessie mate DE, dual boot using refind. I'm currently fine-tuning it. I've made a script following powertop advice:
Code: Select all[newb@debian /etc/systemd/system]$ cat mba_kb_sp.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3.1/power/control';
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3.2/power/control';
echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/power/control';
exit 0
[Code] ....
All seems to work fine, however when i check the sys file it didn't change. But I can start manually the systemd service and, this time, it works.

When I first started running Jessie 8.1 I noticed that after the disk check the boot was quiet, ie. no messages to the terminal . However, something has happened and now when I boot the machine I get a verbose listing of all the processes being started. Is there a way to change it back to the way it was? In other words a quiet boot. The only thing I know of that has been 'anomalous' behavior is the other day when doing a mp4 to avi conversion, using avconv, I apparently had an over temp condition which closed my LXDE session and brought me to the login prompt. Don't know what other info one may need but feel free to ask for more, if necessary.

How to enable persistent logging with systemd? I find it really weird that all this machinery that is systemd doesn't store persistent logs, what if I'm trying to retrieve some information regarding previous boots?
For instance: I have random suspend issues, after rebooting the computer there's no trace left in the logs of what happened, and furthermore (at least in Jessie) I can no longer see a pm-suspend log.
So, at first it sounds like all you have to do is edit journald.conf setting #Storage=auto to "persistent" and create the /var/log/journal directory, but then reading here /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian
Code: Select allEnabling persistent logging in journald
=======================================
To enable persistent logging, create /var/log/journal and set up proper permissions:
install -d -g systemd-journal /var/log/journal
setfacl -R -nm g:adm:rx,d:g:adm:rx /var/log/journal
and here [URL] ....
There are two main reasons why I decided to not enable persistent logging just yet ....
We did get corrupt journal files in the past where the journal then no longer worked at all [1]. With volatile you can just reboot and have a clean state again. Admittedly, the journal has seen a lot of improvements in the mean time and hopefully is more robust, so this point is no longer true.
We still install rsyslog by default. That means we get store them twice. This is something we don't want to do atm.

I have SSD drives without SCT support, because of this I want to tune /sys/block/device-name/device/timeout in order to force mdadm put these drives offline. So, I can see my drive like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-SABER1000_A22MJ061512000074.
Where can I tune /sys/block/device-name/device/timeout from 30 to 7 sec only for these drive? I don't want to use rc.local.
Can I create right udev rules for it in /etc/udev/rules.d?
I want to avoid any conflict with /lib/udev/rules.d.
Code: Select all# udevadm monitor --environment --udev
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UDEV [9302.549485] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/0000:03:00.0/host0/target0:0:0 (scsi)

I have the following hardware setup:
a NAS running Debian that frequently (but not always) has two removable media attached,a Debian desktop that mounts the above NAS via sshfs,the aforementioned removable media are symlinked to the directory on tha NAS that is then mounted by the desktop.
What I'd like this setup to do is to immediately time out if mounts as unavailable. Instead, I only get the expected behaviour if the NAS is down (the ssh client takes about 3 seconds to do that); if it's up, the removable media automounts (they are symlinked to the directory shared with the desktop) seem to never time out, ever. This happens locally on the NAS as well, when ssh'ing to the NAS and trying to run `ls /media/Storage` or `ls /media/Backup`, these commands never return. It's as if systemd was ignoring the x-systemd.device-timeout setting on the NAS.
The relevant part of the NAS's fstab:
Code: Select all/dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4 defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=1s,rw,user,nofail,x-systemd.idle-timeout=30s 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /media/Storage ext4 defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=1s,rw,exec,nofail,x-systemd.idle-timeout=5min 0 1
[Code] ....
I find it highly interesting that despite both removable media being detached, only one is flagged as having a dependency failed. Both paths exhibit the hang behaviour, though.
What can I do to actually time out when the media are not there?

I've enabled permanent systemd logs in Jessie, and after a while I'm seeing messages about corrupted logs when checking with journalctl --verify
Code: Select allInvalid tail monotonic timestamp 0%
File corruption detected at /var/log/journal/..........
as far as I can see, there is currently no option to delete this files from within systemd facilities, is that correct?
Should they be deleted manually, or just left alone?
Apparently I can still read all older logs regardless of such reported corruption, using the journalctl --boot -n option.
EDIT:Another thing coming to mind is that this has been happening for me not only in Jessie but in every systemd-based distro that I've tried, once permanent logging is enabled: is that some kind of systemd bug?
What would exactly mean
Code: Select allFile corruption detected at /var/log/journal/38d5e6b861134eadb37cbd64b98a66bd/user-65534@d1745ac610d2459f940a24f27abd6d47-0000000000000f14-00051b8d2dabdcac.journal:000000 (of 8388608 bytes, 0%)
in particular, the 0% of 8388608 bytes part ?

I decided to update all the software on my computer. Fortunately, it upgraded kernel version 3.14 to 3.16. I was happy to learn that suspend now worked on my laptop by calling pm-suspend, but it did not worked by closing the lid. So I search and found on debian's website that installing systemd and adding some config lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf would sove the issue. So I followed the procedure and did like instructed, to end up with a computer that boots on black screen.
The last verbrose line I see on boot up is "kvm disabled by bios" and then it shutdown down the screen. The computer works, as I can login and shutdown by doing those operation blindly.
I tried removing systemd but it still does not work. If I use the old kernel 3.14 I can boot without any problem, but if I use kernel 3.16, I boot to a black screen. I remember successfully booting in 3.16 before installing systemd.

I have been building a debian jessie system reasonably successfully but have come unstuck with libpam-mount. On a previous Ubuntu saucy system I simply installed it, created the appropriate pam_mount.conf.xml file and mounts would happen when users logged on and dismount on logoff. With jessie I can see that there is a libpam-mount package in main but when I try apt-get install it fails. If this package has been obsoleted (as one of the messages indicates might be the issue) what is the jessie way of handling this?
Here is my sources.list
Code: Select alldeb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib

I have installed Windows 7 on my laptop . Now, it directly boot from Windows 7 . I think the MBR overwrote my grub . I have found two methods by google , but still does work .
1: boot from debian install CD, Alt +F2 switch to the console. "grub " "root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0,0)".
2:boot from CD, mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt ; chroot /mnt ; grub-install /dev/sda.

I leave my system in suspend mode overnight and wake it up first thing in the morning. At 9:15 it will automatically run housekeeping scripts via cron and these are completed by 9:30. Some time later I will turn on the monitor and start work. Since moving from Wheezy to Jessie the system has switched off for no apparent reason. I checked the syslog and auth.log and found it completed all it's tasks at 9:30 then started shutting down at 9:35. Relevant extracts from these logs are attached ...
My OS is Jessie 64 bit with Cinnamon on a quite standard Gigabyte desktop with dual core intel processor, 4Gb RAM and SSD drive. It uses NVidia drivers and there were no unusual entries in x.org.log.

During the boot-sequence of jessie there is more text flying by on the screen (including some errors or warnings) than I can read thorugh fast enough. I don't think this is very serious stuff, and if it were I could always look at dmesg and or syslog i /var/log but I would find it really convenient to log these messages in a file instead of sifting through or grep-ing dmesg.
When duckduckgoing this matter I found [URL] ....
I installed tried bootlogd but when configuring it to "yes" and rebooting nothing comes up in /var/log/boot.
Then I saw this line in above link
If you use systemd as your init system, you may need to use systemctl to debug boot problems.

I tried to set up my linux server with a specific script that can control my gameserver (mta). The thing is, I wanted to let this script be forced to start by the systemd, so I created a service called 'mtadef' (btw: same name as the user).
Here is the service script:
Code: Select all[Unit]
Description="MTA: Primary Server"
[Service]
Type=Forking
User=mtadef
ExecStart=/home/mtadef/mtastart.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And here is my shellscript (mtastart.sh):
Code: Select all#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
screen -S MTA_def /home/mtadef/mta-server64 -screen 0 800x600x16 -ac
exit 1
[Code] ....
When I try to start the service by the command "systemctl start mtadef" now, I returns me the message:
"Must be connected to a terminal."

A computer upgraded from 7.3 to 8.2 suffered a number of stability issues which were traced to systemd having replaced sysvinit in this version. Worst of these was that instead of shutting down it just cut the power instantly, causing disk corruption. Basically, from what I can find out, this systemd component seems like it works OK on a completely fresh install but causes multiple issues if it finds its way onto an updated system. I found some instructions on reinstating sysvinit, which cured the issues.
However, on attempting to install the Brasero CD/DVD app via synaptic, I notice that this will force reinstallation of systemd as a dependency, even though it's been locked-out of updates. Luckily I spotted this in time and cancelled. You really wonder why a CD writing app would need to do this. I certainly seems rather naughty for any desktop package to be changing system startup code in a manner which could break the OS.
At the moment I'm not sure if it's the only app which does this -although k3b seemingly does not. Any thoughts on this gotcha, and how to prevent a repeat, other than being extremely careful when installing anything?

My girlfriend got a 'new' (second hand) laptop, a HP Compaq 6715s. When I tried to install Debian on it, the install went immensely slow - glacial, even. It was a very minimal install but it tooks hours to get to nowhere.
I found out online that this was because of a problem between the current kernel and the hard drive (or HD bus, something hardware-y to do with the disk) which meant file operations were extremely slow. I thought "easy, patiently install Debian and then install newer kernel". Except that after six hours, the install wasn't even halfway.
So I install Arch Linux with the 2.6.35 kernel: no problems with the drive speed at all. After a lot of researching (I only played around with Arch once, more than a year ago) I got the system into a usable state. But now wlan0 has suddenly disappeared, together with some other problems - and a usable laptop wasn't exactly what I had in mind, it was supposed to be awesome (or at least good). Which, with Debian, it would be
So... is it possible to make a Debian installation use a later version of a kernel? I'd want to install Debian with the 2.6.35 kernel, not install Debian and then afterwards update the kernel (because I don't have 24 hours to install an OS, if it'll ever even install).
I've found some stuff online but it might well have been written in the Cyrillic alphabet. All I understand, I think, is that in theory it's possible.

Everything went smooth until the point that I restarted the node.
During startup I'm getting the following message which is flooding the screen:

If I press Ctrl+D the boot process continues and finally boots normally.
What I can do to avoid pressing Ctrl+D during the boot process?

I thought I'd have a go at putting back sysvinit to run the start up daemons, after I discovered that upgrading to jessie removed it and slapped on systemd.
I didn't have any problems at all with systemd, infact it was pure speed at start-up, but after some reading I thought I'd like to go back to usual start-up scripts.
What I did was to boot a Live Debian and mount and chroot into my Debian system, then I ran
Code: Select allsudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd
sudo apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils
On reboot, I hit a grub rescue prompt which says error: file not found.
Trying the methods to get that sorted out gets stuck with "unknown file system" after I use ls and ls(hd1,msdos2) -as well as other combinations - it only seems to work for a plugged in flash drive.
Then I chroot again and run update-grub and grub-install /dev/sdb but reboot still stops at grub rescue.
So I wonder, firstly, why replacing systemd mucked up grub. Then, besides re-install of systemd, how do I get a booting system?
