Hi list.
I'm new with archlinux and especially systemd. I'm using linux since around
twenty years, so i'm not realy newbie but...
I have many questions but I'll ask one by one.
I read wiki about systemctl and I'm not sure to have understood
everything :-(
For instance, to have a daemon at boottime, I have tried :
systemctl enable --now ...
It seems to be OK with ntp, fcron and NetworkManager.
But with mariadb I obtain a failure.
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xeu mariadb.service" for details.
I tried
systemctl status mariadb
and obtained
× mariadb.service - MariaDB 10.6.4 database server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2021-11-08 18:03:16 CET; 1min 47s ago

Those messages don't help me.
Can someone tell me more ?
