So we start&restart plenty of sockets (not just libvirtd-ro.socket), and all others are happy. So what is wrong/special with libvirtd-ro.socket?
Comparing the normal with the -ro socket: one can be started without error: root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd.socket root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd.socket root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd.socket But the other one fails on the same: root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd-ro.socket Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd-ro.socket Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd-ro.socket Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. But with a restart I could break the formerly working one: root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke restart libvirtd.socket Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. And from that moment on: root@f2:~# deb-systemd-invoke start libvirtd.socket Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. So it seems as soon as we do "restart" we can no more "start". That is reasonable, the socket is up then the service is up. And a "start" just makes it "no-op as it is there" but the restart stops it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869796 Title: vague error during upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1869796/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
