Bug#935829: systemd: Many services fail to start after systemd 242-4 was pushed to bullseye.

[Michael Biebl]

Ok, let's look at the log:

Then repeated attempts to start those services (or some of them) because
they are dependencies of other targets/services and later

In the log file you provided, I don't see other services being marked as
failed, due to hitting the start request limit.

With 241-7 (which you can get from [1]) are those 4 services also
skipped because the condition check failed?
Would be great to have a verbose debug log with 241-7.

You probably need to investigate, why the condition checks fail for
those services.

$ systemctl cat systemd-fsck-root.service | grep Condition
ConditionPathIsReadWrite=!/
ConditionPathExists=!/run/initramfs/fsck-root

This one is expected, as the / file system is checked by the initramfs
nowadays.


$ systemctl cat sys-kernel-config.mount | grep Condition
ConditionPathExists=/sys/kernel/config
ConditionCapability=CAP_SYS_RAWIO


$ systemctl cat systemd-binfmt.service | grep Condition
ConditionPathIsReadWrite=/proc/sys/
ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/lib/binfmt.d
ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/usr/lib/binfmt.d
ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/usr/local/lib/binfmt.d
ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/etc/binfmt.d
ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/run/binfmt.d

$ systemctl cat sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount | grep Condition
ConditionPathExists=/sys/fs/fuse/connections
ConditionCapability=CAP_SYS_ADMIN
ConditionVirtualization=!private-users


Please check those 3 services, which condititon for them fails, e.g. if
you have writable /proc/sys or if /sys/kernel/config exists or
/sys/fs/fuse/connections.
