[opensuse] What file do I edit to fix 'systemd-modules-load' Failure?
All, I have had this frustrating error on boot of Leap 42.2 ever since I installed, then uninstalled, the Nvidia drivers for my laptop. (I have since reinstalled the drivers after we got the backlight bug triaged and a xrandr workaround). However, I still have this nagging module fail to load error on every boot -- which I've ignored, but want to fix before attempting a 42.3 upgrade. The error is: Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard systemd-modules-load[110]: Failed to insert 'ppp_mppe': No such device Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard systemd-udevd[191]: Network interface NamePolicy= disabled by default. Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard systemd-modules-load[110]: Inserted module 'sg' Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Dec 19 19:18:54 wizard systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

I don't know why it is looking for 'ppp_mppe' and don't know if it was related to the nvidia driver install/remove/reinstall, but it has been present ever since. There must be some file in the systemd-modules-load chain that is trying to load the module. What is that file and where does it live so I can go delete the 'ppp_mppe' entry. There is nothing in /etc/modules-load.d/, so where to check? -- David C.

Boot with systemd.log_level=debug, this will enable debug output showing which file is being processed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Andre, Per, Thanks, I got it fixed. There must be a bug in the Leap 42.2 pptpd package. It installs a conf file in /usr/lib/modules-load.d that ultimately attempts to load the 'ppp_mppe' module that apparently doesn't exist in the kernel. # rpm -e pptpd and # dracut -f (one hell of a name for mkinitrd...) fixed the problem. I enabled, LogLevel=debug LogTarget=journal-or-kmsg and checked the journal before removing pptpd, but the messages regarding the modules did not show the file that was responsible for some reason. Ultimately, I just dumped the systemd-modules-load.server and checked each location, e.g. $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service which gave me the list that Per shared, e.g [Unit] Description=Load Kernel Modules Documentation=man:systemd-modules-load.service(8) man:modules-load.d(5) DefaultDependencies=no Conflicts=shutdown.target Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target ConditionCapability=CAP_SYS_MODULE ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/lib/modules-load.d ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/usr/lib/modules-load.d ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/usr/local/lib/modules-load.d ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/etc/modules-load.d ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/run/modules-load.d ConditionKernelCommandLine=|modules-load ConditionKernelCommandLine=|rd.modules-load which pointed me to /usr/lib/modules-load.d The joys of rooting though systemd, dracut, plymouth, etc..... -- David C.

My guess is a real modem is missing, but I'm not going to use my laptop as a dial-in-server (remember pap and chap secrets?). The best solution in my case was just to rpm -e pptpd and rebuild initramfs and be done with it :) -- David C.
