Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
systemd 229-4ubuntu21.9 syslog file http://locoserver.net:8080/inline/14ItB1/syslog I had to restart one of my server. This one is ovz and the only ubuntu 16 left. All my other servers are ubuntu 18 already. So what happened? I restarted my server and I could ping it fine. However when I tried to connect with ssh it immediately refused my connection. So I run nmap and indeed all other services were running BUT ssh. I could connect over a service console provided by the hoster. I could not user 'service ssh rstart' because it would fail since this '/var/run/sshd' was missing although I checked every script. The scripts were fine. So I looked through the syslog and found something interesting on google. There are a lot of people actually having the same problem at least when using ovz and ubuntu 16. Right now I try to downgrade my systemd to a previous version until a fix will be published. I cannot always log in over the service console and create the file '/var/run/sshd' by hand to manually start ssh. There is a thread in the german ubuntu forum https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/systemd-tmpfiles-fchownat-of-run-failed-invali/ I used this to downgrade curl -LO 'http://launchpadlibrarian.net/395488411/systemd_229-4ubuntu21.6_amd64.deb' curl -LO 'http://launchpadlibrarian.net/395488403/libsystemd0_229-4ubuntu21.6_amd64.deb' apt install ./systemd_229-4ubuntu21.6_amd64.deb ./libsystemd0_229-4ubuntu21.6_amd64.deb ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ssh ** Attachment added: "syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805316/+attachment/5216643/+files/syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805316 Title: systemd 229-4ubuntu21.9 faulty - breaks the system!
