Olivares Haven't seen that problem, but I've seen some issue with systemd and services. What does systemctl --state=failed report? I just had a system that I updated from Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, and thought everything went without a problem. Then someone tried to print, and cupsd wasn't working along with a couple of other services. After doing a lot of searching. It was nothing wrong with cupsd service, but the colord service was failing since it couldn't upgrade the db files since they were owned by root and not colord?? Once I changed the ownership, and restarted colord and cupsd it started working again. For some reason, also seeing the dnf cache service fails from time to time on many systems?? I created a script to test can try to fix issues, and just seeing the dnf cache issue, and another service that I can't recall the fail from time to time. In /etc/cron.hourly fixsystemctl chksystemctl=`systemctl --state=failed | grep failed | cut -f 2 -d\ ` if [ -n "$chksystemctl" ] ; then date >>/var/log/chksystemctl echo $chksystemctl >>/var/log/chksystemctl systemctl restart $chksystemctl fi So, failed services can cause issues. Had to use systemctl status (service) -i and look at message log file to get info. > > ____________________________________________________________ > FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop! > Check it out at http://www.inbox.com/marineaquarium > > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
