Banana Pi Pro : Failed to start Login Service.

[logicite]

Hello everyone,

 

Looks like i have some issue after last upgrade. I'm using a Banana Pi Pro as a file server at home (with samba mainly).

The system is some kind of freezing after a few hours : i'm watching a movie and cannot go to the end of it. The system disappears from the network : no more access via samba/windows network, no more ssh, no more ping...

 

Fortunately i am logging remotly so i can see that the system is still working somehow because it goes on sending syslogs. Last syslog is (the system "froze" at 20:10) :

Feb  7 20:02:01 localhost CRON[3118]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

Feb  7 20:23:41 localhost systemd[1]: Stopped Login Service.
Feb  7 20:23:41 localhost systemd[1]: Starting Login Service...

And nothing after...

 

Any clue where i should be looking for a solution ??

Thank you for ideas.

I tried this to get some status information :

$ sudo systemctl status systemd-logind

And if i want to reload, it fails (probably because de "file exists" : looks like there are several 'daemons' running at the same time ?) :

$ sudo systemctl reload systemd-logind
Failed to reload systemd-logind.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit systemd-logind.service.
See system logs and 'systemctl status systemd-logind.service' for details.

So i did not hesitate and issue a stop command :

$ sudo systemctl stop systemd-logind

And now nothing, no prompt ! By the way remote log shows that the OS is still working (logging the same failure again and again).
