Jurit (juritxyz) You need the following packages to downgrade systemd: libpam-systemd libsystemd0 systemd systemd-sysv
you can get them from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libpam-systemd/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libsystemd0/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/systemd/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/systemd-sysv/ download the last working revision for all of them and install it. Afterwards the issue should be gone. However you have to set the four packages to hold with apt to ensure that they won't get updated ... to prevent issues until the problem gets resolved. As you said November update broke it, it would start with 237-3ubuntu10.8 and check if this solves it. You can also try a later revision but I assume this is good to go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804603 Title: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails on btrfs Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Disco: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * Last security update introduced a regression on btrfs based systems, causing systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service to fail to start, resulting in degraded machines. * Cherrypick upstream fixes to resolve this. [Test Case] * Install VM using btrfs for / * Boot, check that systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is started successfully with: $ systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service [Regression Potential] * btrfs fd doesn't support the set of flags that systemd used, with this patch, a compat set of flags is set instead, thus resolving the introduced regression. The worst case scenario is that creating subvolumes/directories is still broken (as in, the current status quo). [Other Info] * Example bad output After update to systemd 237-3ubuntu10.9 systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails with: Nov 21 13:44:12 node-blc49 systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories...

This happens on btrfs root filesystems in real hardware and on our virtualized servers as well. 237-3ubuntu10.6 didnt show this errors and going back to 237-3ubuntu10 removes them as well. # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 # apt-cache policy systemd systemd: Installiert: 237-3ubuntu10.9 Installationskandidat: 237-3ubuntu10.9 Versionstabelle: *** 237-3ubuntu10.9 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 237-3ubuntu10 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1804603/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
