Haven't seen that problem, but I've seen some issue with systemd and
services.
What does
systemctl --state=failed
report?
I just had a system that I updated from Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, and thought
everything went without a problem. Then someone tried to print, and cupsd
wasn't working along with a couple of other services. After doing a lot of
searching. It was nothing wrong with cupsd service, but the colord service
was failing since it couldn't upgrade the db files since they were owned by
root and not colord?? Once I changed the ownership, and restarted colord
and cupsd it started working again.
For some reason, also seeing the dnf cache service fails from time to time on
many systems??
I created a script to test can try to fix issues, and just seeing the dnf cache
issue, and another service that I can't recall the fail from time to time.
In /etc/cron.hourly fixsystemctl
chksystemctl=`systemctl --state=failed | grep failed | cut -f 2 -d\ `
if [ -n "$chksystemctl" ] ; then
date >>/var/log/chksystemctl
echo $chksystemctl >>/var/log/chksystemctl
systemctl restart $chksystemctl
fi
So, failed services can cause issues.
Had to use systemctl status (service) -i
and look at message log file to get info.
