Re: sid ppc64 port systemd is broken on PowerMac G5 right now

[H <snullp@gmail.com>]

Hi John,

FWIW, A little bit information that might be helpful:

I started journald manually via /lib/systemd/systemd-journald, no error message to stdout and stderr, nor journalctl output. Actually journalctl still does not work (empty for all services).

But the journald seemed started logging to /var/log/syslog.

When I try to start logind, /var/log/syslog captures the following error message:

/lib/systemd/systemd-logind: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-250.so: failed to map segment from shared object.

The file exists, clearly this is a broken binary from the port.

The filesystem is ext4.

Thanks,

Hao

It's a bit difficult to say what's wrong without any error messages. The cause
might be unrelated to systemd and it's just the part of the system where the
problem shows.

Maybe problems with the filesystem or hardware?

I have not observed any systemd issues on my PowerPC machines yet, but I will
run a test installation tomorrow.
