Hello, I'm running Debian Sid 64bit inside a KVM virtual machine. The system is an LDAP and NFS client of a Debian 8 server. This setup has been working fine for month. At some point this week (Wednesday?) a new version of "libc-bin" was released and I rebooted the machine afterwards.
Since the update "systemd" is really unhappy: Aug 27 09:52:39 sheridan systemd[1]: Starting Login Service... Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: systemd-logind.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: Failed to start Login Service. Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: systemd-logind.service: Unit entered failed state. Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: systemd-logind.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: systemd-logind.service: Service has no hold-off time, scheduling restart. Aug 27 09:53:04 sheridan systemd[1]: Stopped Login Service. This problem keeps repeating indefinitely. I've tried to debug it but my knowledge on "systemd" is still very limitted. I got as far as running "journalctl -xe" which still doesn't tell me what is really going wrong: -- Unit systemd-logind.service has begun starting up.
