Created attachment 1163208 [details] broken formatting of systemctl output Running systemctl commands with -H option does not immediately return output for every command. For example, when I try command: systemctl -H root@machine list-units I immediately got expected output. But for command: systemctl -H root@machine status sshd the command is stuck/waits (can exit with ctrl-c). On local machine I have a running process 'ssh -xT root@machine systemd-stdio-bridge' on the remotely controlled there is a running process 'systemd-stdio-bridge'. After a while (~10 minutes) I got expected output, but with broken formatting (see attachment). Sometimes I waited for half an hour and got no output. This behaviour occurs only when the local machine (the remotely controlling one) is on F24 (systemd-229-8.fc24.x86_64), the remote machine can be both F23 (systemd-222-14.fc23.x86_64) or F24. When local machine with F23 is used, both F23 and F24 remote machines respond immediately (or the output is immediately processed and shown). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): on laptop with F24: systemd-229-8.fc24.x86_64 on laptop with F23: systemd-222-14.fc23.x86_64 on remotely controlled virtual machine with F24: systemd-229-8.fc24.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. have local machine with F24 (systemd-229-8.fc24.x86_64) 2. create virtual machine with F24. 3. set up sshd on virtual machine 4. systemctl -H root@virtual_machine list-units (immediate response) 5. systemctl -H root@virtual_machine status sshd (delayed response or none at all, broken formatting)
In case it's critical for you, you can work around this problem by calling the command like so: $ SYSTEMD_PAGER= systemctl -H root@virtual_machine status sshd Reported upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3543
