[Arch] Systemd problem. #8

Closed ruizlenato closed 3 weeks ago

ruizlenato commented 11 months ago

When I enable systemd on Arch Linux in the official way, here's an example:

[root@redstar ~]# cat /etc/wsl.conf
[boot]
systemd=true

It crashes and won't start, I executed a systemd-analyze to see what's going on and it returned this:

[root@redstar ~]# systemd-analyze
Bootup is not yet finished (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0).
Please try again later.
Hint: Use 'systemctl list-jobs' to see active jobs

If you want to know which services are running, here they are:

[root@redstar ~]# systemctl list-jobs

[root@redstar ~]# systemctl
  UNIT                                        LOAD   ACTIVE     SUB       JOB   DESCRIPTION

...
systemd-firstboot.service                     loaded activating start     start First Boot Wizard
...

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.
JOB    = Pending job for the unit.

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

I found this, it's probably the cause of the problem.

Hi, I'm really sorry for the late reply, been busy. I will take a look at this in a few days. This problem would likely traceback to wsl itself rather than the distro.

4thrun commented 2 months ago

A solution here: Ubuntu 22.04 with systemd can't start.

create symbolic /usr/sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd

See if it works for your Arch distro.
