[Bug 736092] New: Fetchmail does not start
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736092 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736092#c0 Summary: Fetchmail does not start Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: james.knott@rogers.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 Fetchmail does not start with either systemd or systemv. With systemv, there is no info in either /var/log/messages or dmesg. With systemd, /var/log/messages contains the following: "Dec 10 17:46:53 linux fetchmail[1666]: Starting fetchmailFile /etc/fetchmailrc must be owned by you. Dec 10 17:46:53 linux startproc: startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/bin/fetchmail: 6 Dec 10 17:46:53 linux fetchmail[1666]: ..failed Dec 10 17:46:53 linux systemd[1]: fetchmail.service: control process exited, code=exited status=7 Dec 10 17:46:53 linux systemd[1]: Unit fetchmail.service entered failed state." However, fetchmailrc is owned by root, as shown: "ls /etc/fetchmailrc -l -rwx------ 1 root root 271 Dec 4 22:02 /etc/fetchmailrc" In previous versions of openSUSE, I have also been able to start fetchmail, as a user, with /etc/init.d/after.local, but that only works with systemv in 12.1. As a result, if I run systemd in 12.1, I have to manually start fetchmail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable fetchmail in System Services 2. 3. Actual Results: Fetchmail fails to start on reboot Expected Results: Fetchmail should be running -- 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.

However, that may be because networking didn't start either. It would certainly appear that openSUSE should not have switched to systemd, as it is clearly not ready. In all the years I've been using Linux, I have never seen a distro as buggy as 12.1, and many of these bugs are severe! Perhaps a patch could be created to roll back the systems to system v, which has worked reliably for years. -- 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.

Also, since systemd is is new and unknown to most users, you have to provide explicit instructions, so we know how to make the changes. Also, the network problem (Bug #736059) should be fixed first as, IIRC, fetchmail won't start without it. At the moment, I have to manually select systemv at boot, as I do not have reliable networking with systemd. It often takes 3 or 4 reboots to get networking to work in systemd. This is before I can start worrying about fetchmail. The system that this is failing is my main computer, which means disrupting things whenever I test something. -- 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.
