This is a packaging error: systemd-journal-upload was supposed to be in systemd-journal-gateway subpackage. And some parts were (the scripts to create the user, a man page), and some parts were left in the main package by mistake. systemd-journal-gatewayd and systemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload are all moved to systemd-journal-gatewayd subpackage now. (In reply to Duncan Innes from comment #0) > Additional info: If I add the line > --- > User=root You shouldn't do that. There are no known vulnerabilities in those utils, but running as a non-root user provides significant security benefits in case something goes wrong. systemd-216-23.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/systemd-216-23.fc21 Package systemd-216-24.fc21: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Description of problem: systemd-journal-upload doesn't start Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-216-20.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create /etc/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service.d/systemd-journal-upload.conf with contents: [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-upload \ --url=http://localhost \ --save-state=/var/lib/systemd/journal-upload/state 2. systemctl daemon-reload 3. systemctl restart systemd-journal-upload.service Actual results: systemd[1]: systemd-journal-upload.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER Expected results: Expect process to start properly Additional info: If I add the line --- User=root --- to the end of my /etc/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service.d/systemd-journal-upload.conf file, the process starts up properly. There appears to be no user: systemd-journal-upload as specified in: /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service. I can understand the default unit file not working until a suitable --url flag is specified for the process, but expected other default settings to work OK.
