Public bug reported: A few days ago I upgraded my Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10. Afterwards I found that my Oracle XE would no longer start. alert_XE.log said things like
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semctl failed with status: 22 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Invalid argument ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpwrm1 ORA-27157: OS post/wait facility removed ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semop failed with status: 43 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Identifier removed ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpwwait1 I found that /etc/systemd/logind.conf had the RemoveIPC line commented out. When I set RemoveIPC=no (the default is “yes”) and rebooted Linux, Oracle XE started fine, as it had before the upgrade. So I assume the 17.10 upgrade somehow made a change to the RemoveIPC semantics. As I found that my previous installation also had a commented RemoveRPC it looks like Ubuntu 17.10 changed the default value from “no” to “yes”, and so breaks the Oracle XE installation. In this case I consider this behavior problematic, it should at least produce a clear warning during upgrade. If the default value did not change I have no explanation of the phenomenon. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726504 Title: Was there a change of RemoveIPC semantics in Ubuntu 17.10?
