[Bug 731342] New: systemd should not suppress error messages of failing services
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731342 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731342#c0 Summary: systemd should not suppress error messages of failing services Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: fcrozat@suse.com ReportedBy: max@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: radmanic@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- When systemd cannot start a service, it prints out its own error messages about the fact, but by default completely suppresses the error output of the failed service. As bug #730326 has shown, this suppression of valuable debugging information can lead to needless bug reports and wrong conclusions, especially for users that are new to systemd, which are probably many these days. Therefore when startup of a service fails, systemd should pass on the output to the user by default, or at least log it somewhere and mention the location in the output it already produces. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 41279488 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections. If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for. The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration. pg_ctl: could not start server Examine the log output. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can force the redirection to syslog by adding systemd.sysv_console=0 (upstream plans to make this change by default). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
