Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm at the wrong place but I feel I have a big issue
with systemd and journalctl.
Basically I know no more journal logs since 24/10 and I have no real
idea why.
Here is the full story, if I'm at the wrong place, please tell me
so.
I've discovered I have an issue with systemd on my Debian server.
I've seen that some logging service don't want to start through
systemd but the daemon itself start without issues:
> ❯ systemctl start rsyslog.service
> A dependency job for rsyslog.service failed. See 'journalctl
-xe' for details.
If I start manually rsyslogd, it's working:
> ❯ /usr/sbin/rsyslogd
> ❯ ps awx | grep rsyslog
> 45995 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd
So I tried to understand what's wrong with systemd.
First, journalctl -xe shows only lines from 24 Oct, nothing recent.
I've tried timedatectl to ensure the date is correct but got this
message
> ❯ timedatectl
> Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
I've searched a lot on Internet and ended up running systemctl
--failed command and it shown many failed services:
> ❯ systemctl --failed
> UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB

I've re-installed systemd-sysv and rebooted, cleaned old journalctl
entries but same issues.
Basically, I'm clueless here :/ If someone have an idea :D
