boot failure

[bcarpenter]

Hi all,

For the past week, the Debian box is frequently failing boot. Sometimes it with fail once, sometimes it will fail several consecutive times before booting into the 11.2 desktop.

When boot fails, the first thing the machine complains about is:

"see systemctl status systemd-hostnamed.service for details"


After the machine finally boots, launching a terminal and typing "systemctl status systemd-hostnamed.service" yields this:


account@boxname:~$ systemctl status systemd-hostnamed.service
● systemd-hostnamed.service - Hostname Service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hostnamed.service; static)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:systemd-hostnamed.service(8)
man:hostname(5)
man:machine-info(5)
man:org.freedesktop.resolve1(5)

Jan 11 09:40:35 debian systemd[1]: Starting Hostname Service...
Jan 11 09:40:35 debian systemd[1]: Started Hostname Service.
Jan 11 09:41:07 debian systemd[1]: systemd-hostnamed.service: Succeeded.



I did a duck search but little came up. Some of that material made me think that this just might be something depreciated in 11.2. I did not search the man pages on the possibility of a snipe hunt (depreciated commands)

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

There are a lot of articles out there on troubleshooting booting issues in linux.
Try some of them.
You indicated there are other messages you are getting.
Can you give more info?

Ended up reloading 11.2 unofficial (non live) and the problem went away. Maybe it was a hardware hiccup. ?
