Bug#886878: fwupd service startup fails.
The 4.14 kernel you are running, does it have the various spectre and meltdown fixes integrated already? If so, could you please check with an older kernel without them to see if it's also affected? I'm wondering if those might be causing a problem.
Bug#886878: fwupd service startup fails.
This is what I see: Jan 10 13:45:17 ahoskeri-lnx systemd[1]: Starting Firmware update daemon... Jan 10 13:45:17 ahoskeri-lnx fwupd[23072]: /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Operation not permitted In the systemd service file: [Service] Type=dbus BusName=org.freedesktop.fwupd ExecStart=/usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes ^^^ this is the problem. I need to change this to no to have it work. the process will start correctly if started outside of systemd - since it would not run with that restriction. Also perhaps a newer kernel is required to systemd to actually enforce this? I am running linux 4.14 from debian unstable. Thanks, Abhijit.
