Thanks Nyr to link the discussion you had. I see there were later updates report they see it on Debian as well. I'm really puzzled what that should be.
Since I couldn't confirm it before using openvpn the way I do it usually I tried with the installer - even if I agree that it likely isn't the issue but it might help triggering for a repro. $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial xenial-test-openvpn # there is no apache to remove in the image $ lxc exec xenial-test-openvpn -- wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh $ lxc exec xenial-test-openvpn -- chmod +x openvpn-install.sh $ lxc exec xenial-test-openvpn -- bash -c "~/openvpn-install.sh" # enter on all questions $ lxc exec xenial-test-openvpn -- service openvpn start $ lxc exec xenial-test-openvpn -- service openvpn status ● openvpn.service - OpenVPN service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-03-20 15:45:55 UTC; 1s ago Process: 1320 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1320 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Mar 20 15:45:55 xenial-test-openvpn systemd[1]: Starting OpenVPN service... Mar 20 15:45:55 xenial-test-openvpn systemd[1]: Started OpenVPN service. Working just fine. >From here we need to find what has to be different to trigger the issue. With it seems multiple people hitting it there must be something to it, but so far I fail to see how to recreate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631104 Title: The LimitNPROC line in /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] has to be commented out in order to be able to start OpenVPN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1631104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
