Giving the campers something to read while they guard the flag, systemctl: assignment outside of section. ignoring..

I wanted to throw together a quick post for a recent issue I have seen on Redhat 7/CentOS 7 boxes. A recent OS update has brought a small but important change to SystemD. In the past if you wanted to add environment variables to a SystemD service, you could enter # systemctl edit postgresql-14 (note I will be using postgresql-14 as the example service in this post), then add a line such as:

After saving the file, and starting the service you are good to go. Recently after a minor update, I started getting the error “[/etc/systemd/system/postgresql-14.service.d/override.conf:1] Assignment outside of section. Ignoring.”, then the service would not start. It turns out, you can no longer drop Environment lines directly into the SystemD overrides, you need to mark which section of the SystemD file you are overriding. Below is the new proper way to go about this:

Quick fix, but can take a bit of digging. Also for SystemD and Postgres 14, this is the current way to easily redirect the data folder. Hope this helps someone!

How do I override or configure systemd services?

Many sysv init scripts used a corresponding file in /etc/default to allow the administrator to configure it. Upstart jobs can be modified using .override files. How do I override or configure systemd units, now that systemd is the default in Ubuntu?

  • 4 Note that when clearing the ExecStart= with a blank entry you cannot put a comment after it like: ExecStart= # Empty line to clear previous entries. This will be taken as another ExecStart= entry and added to the list. PS. I could not add comment to muru's answer because of my low reputation. –  tysik Commented Aug 23, 2019 at 12:20

systemd units need not obey files in /etc/default . systemd is easily configurable, but requires that you know the syntax of systemd unit files.

Packages ship unit files typically in /lib/systemd/system/ . These are not to be edited. Instead, systemd allows you to override these files by creating appropriate files in /etc/systemd/system/ .

For a given service foo , the package would provide /lib/systemd/system/foo.service . You can check its status using systemctl status foo , or view its logs using journalctl -u foo . To override something in the definition of foo , do:

This creates a directory in /etc/systemd/system named after the unit, and an override.conf file in that directory ( /etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/override.conf ). You can add or override settings using this file (or other .conf files in /etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/ ). This is also applicable to non-service units - you could do systemctl edit foo.mount , systemctl edit foo.timer , etc. It assumes .service as the default type if you didn't specify one.

Overriding command arguments

Take the getty service for example. Say I want to have TTY2 autologin to my user (this is not advisable, but just an example). TTY2 is run by the getty@tty2 service ( tty2 being an instance of the template /lib/systemd/system/ [email protected] ). To do this, I have to modify the getty@tty2 service.

In particular, I have to change the ExecStart line, which currently is:

To override this, do:

I had to explicitly clear ExecStart before setting it again, as it is an additive setting, similar to other lists like Environment (as a whole, not per-variable) and EnvironmentFile ; and unlike overriding settings like RestartSec or Type . If I did not clear it, systemd will execute every ExecStart line, but you can only have multiple ExecStart entries for Type=oneshot services.

  • Dependency settings like Before , After , Wants , etc. are also lists, but cannot be cleared using this way. You'll have to override/replace the entire service for that (see below).

I had to use the proper section header. In the original file, ExecStart is in the [Service] section, so my override has to put ExecStart in the [Service] section as well. Often, having a look at the actual service file using systemctl cat will tell you what you need to override and which section it is in.

Usually, if you edit a systemd unit file, for it to take effect, you need to run:

However, systemctl edit automatically does this for you.

And if I do:

and press Ctrl Alt F2 , presto! I'll be logged into my account on that TTY.

As I said before, getty@tty2 is an instance of a template. So, what if I wanted to override all instances of that template? That can be done by editing the template itself (removing the instance identifier - in this case tty2 ):

Overriding the environment

A common use case of /etc/default files is setting environment variables. Usually, /etc/default is a shell script, so you could use shell language constructs in it. With systemd , however, this is not the case. You can specify environment variables in two ways:

Say you have set the environment variables in a file:

Then, you can add to the override:

In particular, if your /etc/default/foo contains only assignments and no shell syntax, you could use it as the EnvironmentFile .

Via Environment entries

The above could also be accomplished using the following override:

However, this can get tricky with multiple variables, spaces, etc. Have a look at one of my other answers for an example of such an instance.

Variations in editing

Replacing the existing unit entirely.

If you want to make massive changes to the existing unit, such that you're effectively replacing it altogether, you could just do:

Temporary edits

In the systemd file hierarchy, /etc takes precedence over /run , which in turn takes precedence over /lib . Everything said so far also applies to using /run/systemd/system instead of /etc/systemd/system . Typically /run is a transient filesystem whose contents are lost on reboot, so if you want to override a unit only until reboot, you can do:

However, you cannot use this method to temporarily override something that is already in /etc (e.g., snap service files are usually created directly in /etc/systemd/system , so you can only override them using files in /etc/system/system/<snap-service-name>.service.d ).

Overriding user units

Everything said so far also applies to user units, with systemctl --user edit , systemctl --user daemon-reload , etc. instead of the corresponding system unit commands. The override files go to ~/.config/systemd/user instead of /etc/systemd/system . If, as an administrator, you want to override user units for all users, then use /etc/systemd/user instead.

Setting specific properties

Many resource-control properties can be set directly using the systemctl set-property command. Example from the manpage:

Changes are applied immediately and also persisted to override files. For example, the following command will immediately update the service's resource configuration:

And also add the following files in the user's home directory (because --user makes it a user unit):

Undoing changes

You can simply remove the corresponding override file, and do systemctl daemon-reload to have systemd read the updated unit definition.

You can also revert all changes (including ones from systemctl set-property ):

Further Reading

Via this mechanism, it becomes very easy to override systemd units, as well as to undo such changes (by simply removing the override file). These are not the only settings which can be modified.

[solved] downgraded systemd to 245 after failed netctl, what next.

I upgraded my system today, which included systemd moving to 246.1-1. After reboot my network connection no longer worked, dmesg had this:

In this bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67517 luca cunegondi mentioned having a similar problem and downgrading systemd to 245 as a solution. I did (245.7-1), which indeed solved the problem. I added the systemd packages to my IgnorePkg line in /etc/pacman.conf.

(BTW my mkinitcpio.conf already had udev instead of systemd in HOOKS, so that was not the original problem.)

I'm a newbie at systemd things, is there a more permanent solution than staying with systemd 245? Or should I just wait for the next systemd upgrade to try upgrading it again?

Re: [SOLVED] Downgraded systemd to 245 after failed netctl, what next?

Did you see the other bug linked from that one?

#3 2020-08-13 01:28:30

So far, I've got:

- downgrading systemd - replacing systemd with udev in mkinitcpio hooks (irrelevant for me)

Bug report https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issu … -645843333 which says "Add fullpath to the systemctl call in initrd-switch-root.service" but which has not worked for everybody, and affected 245.5-2, which is not the case here.

Bug report https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/16076 Which mostly delves into the origins of the problem, again not clear for me.

#4 2020-08-13 01:33:10

Go back and read the ticket you linked again. Pay attention to the comments.

#5 2020-08-13 12:08:25

I had the same problem since yesterday, but it was not due to the above bug report (or any of the linked ones), but I think due to  the deprecation of the ".include" directive in the netctl systemd unit file. I assume this deprecation has now taken place.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … directives (in your case netctl reenable net_normand_static ) worked for me.

At any rate, the above command seems to have regenerated my unit files and allowed me to re-enable the netctl unit without the above errors.

#6 2020-08-13 14:01:53

I had not noticed the warnings. I have regenerated my unit files and then upgraded to latest systemd, the problem is gone.

jfsoar, thank you for your very useful input!

#7 2020-08-13 14:06:05

And if you would have read the comments on the ticket you linked, you would have gotten to that right away.

#8 2020-08-20 04:40:06

I do not want to antagonize Scimmia, but I have to agree that arriving to the deprecation of the .include directives is not trivial, when starting from the task 67517 (which is what nfortier originally cited).

John's answer is very helpful. I also solved my problem via "netctl reenable" and I have to say that there is a non-trivial step from the error message "Assignment outside of section", to the root cause of deprecation of ".include".

#9 2020-08-24 12:56:36

I have wasted 4 hours of trying out linux-lts kernel, switching on debug kernel parameters, going through logs and so on until I noticed that the netctl service had some weird issue, which led me here. The error message systemd throws for this deprecation really is abysmal, thank god I stopped to look at that.

Just as jfsoar and ezacaria already said, running "netctl reenable <your-profile-name>" has fixed the issue for me.

#10 2020-09-11 19:41:20

Fell over that one today, thanks to all of you, but especially @jfsoar

I have the same issue on multiple ubuntu 22.04 virtual servers, they run fine, but take longer to boot up. The first time I saw the error in monitoring was September 13.

To me it looks like systemd-networkd-wait-online somehow doesn't know about the interfaces.

Just an observation... Maybe do: Code: ip a Change "--interface= eth0 " to the active Ethernet device name from that output. Linux deprecated using ethX a while ago, and now remaps them to denote PCIe bus/slot. Example: enp7s0

Systemd Environment and EnvironmentFile not working

I've built an application and a systemd unit for it. The systemd unit works fine, but as the dev and prod environments have diverged I've started moving config out to environment variables and I can't seem to get them to work in systemd.

I've tried system-wide environment variables, and they're visible to the OS, but not the program, so i started looking at building them into systemd units.

First I tried using EnvironmentFile

I created an environment file that simply had

in it as /etc/lc.sh and

did a systemctl --system daemon-reload but no, my app errored:

Jan 27 14:24:59 machine.host env[630]: KeyError: 'LCSQLU'

I saw some had:

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/lc.sh

I tried that.... nope...

So I tried putting them in individually

Yet again, no...

So I heard about the idea of /etc/systemd/service_name.service.d so I put a service.conf in there with the environments in (same format as above) but no...

My application has no access to these environment variables.

If I export them (either manually in my shell or using /etc/profile.d/) and run my app directly it works, so it is that these aren't being set rather than an app issue.

This is Centos 7.3 and I've chosen environment variables rather than a hardcoded config because it may run on either linux or windows, so don't want to bury a config file in /etc/

I ran into the same trouble on RHEL 7.3 and found this :

You may then refer to variables set in the /etc/sysconfig/httpd file with ${FOOBAR} and $FOOBAR , in the ExecStart lines (and related lines).

This makes me think that the purpose for Environment and EnvironmentFile is not at all what you and I expected (setting environment variables for the process started by the systemd unit), but only applies for the immediate expansion of the ExecStart line.

Perhaps I'm completely off-base and this is a bug in systemd (I hope so). But I stopped going down the path you are trying and did it another way: In my case I needed to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH , so I did that via creating /etc/ld.so.conf.d/new_file.conf and then running ldconfig . I also attempted to use system-wide variables in /etc/profile.d/new_file.sh , but apparently setting just LD_LIBRARY_PATH was enough for this service (mariadb) and so I don't actually know if the variables I was setting in /etc/profile.d/new_file.sh were functioning.

chicks's user avatar

Environment and EnvironmentFile set the variables, usable by the unit, but like the sh command, does not export it to child processes. For that, you also need to list it in PassEnvironment , just as you would with the export shell command. See the systemd documentation on EnvironmentFile and PassEnvironment

Also, note that the contents of an EnvironmentFile is not a shell script, but key-value pairs that look rather too much like sh, so naming it with a .sh extension is misleading.

Cameron Kerr's user avatar

  • 4 Also worth noting that a careful reading of those docs also reveals why these variables seem to pass through for some configurations "system services by default do not automatically inherit any environment variables [...] However, in case of the user service manager all environment variables are passed to the executed processes" –  7yl4r Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 19:35
  • 2 I just tested this out using ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -l -c 'env >/tmp/ingest.err' and env. var's set using Environment= and EnvironmentFile= and systemctl set-environment... do show up in the env of the unit...even if it's a system unit. The only explanation I can must is that PassEnvironment means to pass variables in the env. of the systemd process itself "through" (see comment superuser.com/a/728962/39364 ). FWIW... –  rogerdpack Commented May 30, 2019 at 16:56

How to set environmental variable in systemd service

I'm working with ROS, which has been installed on my Ubuntu correctly.

To run the ROS, we have to first source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash then execute roscore . If I execute roscore without source setup.bash , the command roscore can't be found.

Now, I want to execute the ROS while the system starts up.

I've read this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/814/how-to-run-scripts-on-start-up

It seems that I only need to create a custom service file and put it into /etc/systemd/system/ . But still I'm not sure what to do because I need to source setup.bash to setup some necessary environmental variables before executing roscore .

Is it possible to set environmental variables in the service file? For my need, I have to set these environmental variables not only for the execution of roscore but also for the whole system.

I have another idea, which is that I set these environmental variables in /etc/profile and write a service file only for the command roscore , will it work?

Normally systemd services have only a limited set of environment variables, and things in /etc/profile , /etc/profile.d and bashrc -related files are not set.

To add environment variables for a systemd service you have different possibilities.

The examples as follows assume that roscore is at /opt/ros/kinetic/bin/roscore , since systemd services must have the binary or script configured with a full path.

One possibility is to use the Environment option in your systemd service and a simple systemd service would be as follows.

You also can put all the environment variables into a file that can be read with the EnvironmentFile option in the systemd service.

Another option would be to make a wrapper script for your ros binary and call that wrapper script from the systemd service. The script needs to be executable.  To ensure that, run

after creating that file.

Note that you need to run systemctl daemon-reload after you have edited the service file to make the changes active. To enable the service on systemboot, you have to enter systemctl enable ros .

I am not familiar with the roscore binary and it might be necessary to change Type= from simple (which is the default and normally not needed) to forking in the first two examples.

For normal logins, you could copy or symlink /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash to /etc/profile.d/ros.sh , which should be sourced on normal logins.

  • 1 One more question: if I set some environmental variables in my service file named my_own.service , can other service files containing Requires=my_own.service inherit these environmental variables? –  Yves Commented Jul 14, 2018 at 11:57

  • 1 that's a terrible idea, why would anyone put .env file inside of the systemd folder. Just put them into /etc/service-name/service.conf or something like that. Systemd folder is preserved for systemd files only for god sake. –  Mert ÇELEN Commented Aug 15, 2023 at 11:55

viva's user avatar

  • 4 We prefer answers that have at least a few sentences of non-code text (and “you can try with this” doesn’t count).  While it may be obvious, you should mention that this solution doesn’t set the ROS-related environment variables for the whole system, which was part of the question. –  Scott - Слава Україні Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 4:09

Do you use the wsdd package from the official Debian repo or did you installed wsdd and its service file on your own?

Sorry, something went wrong.

@JedMeister

JedMeister commented Jul 14, 2023

If you installed from default Debian, then you have a (buggy/incomplete) drop in service file (in ) that is overriding the default.

I say that because the Debian doesn't have (where the errors are, according to your log output) - instead it provides . If a file exists at , that will override the default provided by the package.

I'd recommend just trying to disable it and see if that solves your issues?:

(Or something like that ... - that's OTTOMH and untested)

I suggest that you remove the third party repo and package, then just install the version from the official Debian repositories.
