*Foreword*
If you are experiencing a problem with system boot up due to Systemd,
please see the link:Bugs/Common[common bugs] document before filing a
bug. Some easy configuration tweaks that fix a wide range of issues may
be listed there. If the problem you are seeing is not listed there or
none of the workarounds seem to help, please consider filing a bug to
help us make Fedora run better on your hardware.

Debugging systemd problems
--------------------------
[[various-useful-systemd-related-commands]]
Various useful systemd related commands
---------------------------------------
* Run `systemctl list-jobs`
To identify slow boot and look for the jobs that are "running" those
jobs are the ones where boot waits for completion on and the ones that
listed as "waiting" will be executed only after those which are
"running" are completed.
* Run `systemctl list-units -t service --all`
To list all available services and their current status
* Run `systemctl list-units -t service`
To show all active services
* Run `systemctl status sshd.service`
To examine the current runtime status of a service. (In the above
example the ssh service)
* Run `systemctl list-units -t target --all`
To show all available targets.
* Run `systemctl list-units -t target`
To show all active targets.
* Run `systemctl show -p "Wants" multi-user.target`
To see which services a target pulls in. ( In the above example the
multi-user.target )
* Run
`/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --test --system --unit=multi-user.target`
To examine what gets started when when booted into a specific target. (
In the above example the multi-user.target )
[[systemd-boot-parameters]]
Systemd boot parameters
-----------------------
The following boot parameters are also available to further assist with
debugging boot issues.
systemd.unit= : Overrides the unit to activate on boot. This may be used
to temporarily boot into a different boot unit, for example
rescue.target or emergency.target. ( Defaults to default.target. )::
systemd.dump_core= : Takes a boolean argument. If true systemd dumps
core when it crashes. Otherwise no core dump is created. ( Defaults to
true )::
systemd.crash_shell= : Takes a boolean argument. If true systemd spawns
a shell when it crashes. Otherwise no core dump is created. Defaults to
false, for security reasons, as the shell is not protected by any
password authentication.::
systemd.crash_chvt= :Takes an integer argument. If positive systemd
activates the specified virtual terminal when it crashes. ( Defaults to
-1 )::
systemd.confirm_spawn= : Takes a boolean argument. If true asks for
confirmation when spawning processes. ( Defaults to false )::
systemd.show_status= : Takes a boolean argument. If true shows terse
service status updates on the console during bootup. ( Defaults to true
)::
systemd.sysv_console= : Takes a boolean argument. If true output of SysV
init scripts will be directed to the console. ( Defaults to true, unless
quiet is passed as kernel command line option in which case it defaults
to false. )::
systemd.log_target= : Set log target. Argument must be one of console,
syslog, kmsg, syslog-or-kmsg, null.::
systemd.log_level= : Set log level. As argument this accepts a numerical
log level or the well-known syslog symbolic names (lowercase): emerg,
alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug.::
systemd.log_color= : Highlight important log messages. Argument is a
boolean value. If the argument is omitted it defaults to true.::
systemd.log_location= : Include code location in log messages. This is
mostly relevant for debugging purposes. Argument is a boolean value. If
the argument is omitted it defaults to true.::
