I can immediately restart it and it starts fine. So whatever the dependency is has been resolved by the time I log in. How can I find out which dependency failed?
Probably not of much help, but I have a brand new 12.3 system, postfix works fine here. I don't know how to figure out which dependency it was that failed - systemd really ought to log it. Maybe try enabling systemd debugging:

I see this in /var/log/messages:

Looks like mounting some remote file systems is involved. These file systems do get mounted by the time I log in. So they are properly specified in /etc/fstab.
You could start with showing your /etc/fstab and explaining what these devices are and why you are using such a strange mount point location which is reserved for removable media management. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
