 Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:57 pm Post subject: systemctl poweroff failure |
 |
|
| Code: |
# systemctl poweroff
Failed to power off system via logind: Unit systemd-poweroff.service has a bad unit file setting.
Failed to start poweroff.target: Unit systemd-poweroff.service has a bad unit file setting.
See system logs and 'systemctl status poweroff.target' for details.
|
| Code: |
#journalctl -r
systemd[1]: systemd-poweroff.service: Service lacks both ExecStart= and ExecStop= setting. Refusing.
|
Adding
| Code: |
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 0
|
Solves the issue, but how did I get to have this issue to begin with? |

To which file did you add that? To '/lib/systemd/system/systemd-poweroff.service'?
On my machine, '/lib/systemd/system/systemd-poweroff.service' was installed by sys-apps/systemd-239-r3. Below is the contents of the file:

| Interesting, my service unit file lacked the [Service] section. It was installed by systemd. Can't recall the version of the last update and I'm far from that box. But my laptop running systemd-239-r2 does have the same service file as yours. I am certain I did not change that file. |

Just checked my desktop, it's systemd-240-r3. And the unit file is does not include the [Service] section
| Code: |
$ tar -x -f /usr/portage/distfiles/systemd-240.tar.gz systemd-240/units/systemd-poweroff.service
$ $ cat systemd-240/units/systemd-poweroff.service

Haven't checked if systemd-240-patches-2.tar.gz include patches for this nor have I gone to figure out if this is a bug upstream or in the Gentoo distribution.

| Here is the commit which removed the Service section. It doesn't look like a bug. |
