Description of problem:
When enabling vnstat with systemd, the service does start properly:

Comment 1 papoteur 2021-03-10 19:13:12 CET

I think that we should use the standard configuration file for systemd.
I did
cp /usr/share/doc/vnstat/examples/systemd/vnstat.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/vnstat.service
systemctl deamon-reload
systemctl restart vnstat

and now all seems OK.

Thanks for the report, and your diagnosis.

vnstat has no fixed maintainer, so assigning this globally.

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2021-03-11 15:57:14 CET

and the same in cauldron...

Comment 5 Nicolas Nicolas 2021-03-11 23:04:16 CET

Hello,

Downloaded the vnstat-2.6-1.1.mga8 package from testing, uninstalled the current vnstat ( as i made some changes to the service file), reinstalled the current version and then upgrade the package with the testing package, seems the new service file installed.

Restarted the vnstat service manually, and then now the service running without time out.

Checked net_monitor ( to verify database is still populated and it seems to still be).

Comment 6 papoteur 2021-03-12 10:10:04 CET

Suggested advisory
=====================
The service vnstat.service as configured doesn't start correctly, it timeout after 1:30.
This correction use default system service configuration file provided upstream, such that the service starts without timeout.
