[gentoo-user] Cannot shutdown or reboot because of logind disconnection
Dear friends, After compiling gcc, I ran reboot or shutdown, and it shows " Failed to reboot system via logind: connection timed out". If use "systemctl daemon-reexec" or "systemctl daemon-reload", it shows "Failed to reload daemon: Transport endpoint is not connected". Compiling gcc uses alot of memory, sometimes only less then 10MB left free ( I am doing this on a small yeeloong netbook with only 1GB memory). This may cause the logind disconnected. However, after the compilation, there should be enough memery left. However the logind is still disconnected. If this happens, what is the best way to reboot or shutdown? Why does the systemd need logind to shutdown? Is it possible to design a way to just shutdown without access of the logind? Thanks.

Modules are located in /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d. I suspect the output of dracut mentions the names of the modules it is loading as well, or probably has a verbosity flag to have it talk more about what it is doing. For the most part modules tend to be automagic. Each one figures out if you're using it, and installs stuff if needed, and if not it no-ops. So if it can't find cryptsetup then it won't go trying to put support for it in the initramfs. I do get though that people prefer to have commands avoid output in a successful state, so omitting those modules should do the trick. Dracut modules are pretty simple in their operation. They all have a module-setup.sh script which is run by dracut and which does any logic, tells dracut what to install in the initramfs, and which registers scripts to run during various phases of boot. I haven't looked at them in ages but I did write up this article on how they work: https://rich0gentoo.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/a-quick-dracut-module/ -- Rich

Should it be like this instead: omit_dracutmodules+="bluetoothd" omit_dracutmodules+="systemd-cryptsetup" omit_dracutmodules+="cryptsetup" It may not matter but then again, it just might. Worth a try I'd guess. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Finally, someone broke it. ROFLMBO

Well, it's taken a few hours, but I have it working. Just a few wrinkles to clear up: 1. dracut: 90crypt: Could not find any command of '/lib/systemd/systemd- cryptsetup cryptsetup'! ...and similar for bluetooth. What do I have to include in /etc/dracut.conf.d/mine.conf to silence these? I already omit the relevant modules: $ grep -e crypt -e blue /etc/dracut.conf.d/mine.conf omit_dracutmodules+=" bluetoothd " omit_dracutmodules+=" systemd-cryptsetup " omit_dracutmodules+=" cryptsetup " 2. dracut: No KEYMAP configured. $ grep i18n /etc/dracut.conf.d/mine.conf i18n_vars="/etc/conf.d/keymaps:KEYMAP /etc/conf.d/keymaps:WINDOWKEYS / etc/conf.d/consolefont:FONT" Notice that only KEYMAP is complained about. The FONT in consolefont points to /usr as well as KEYMAP. -- Regards, Peter.
