I've been running F24 since pre-alpha on a T440s and don't remember seeing anything like this. Did you reboot after update? Does it happen every boot? If yes, does setting selinux to permissive help?

(In reply to Jan Synacek from comment #1)
> Did you reboot after update?

Yes, multiple times.

> Does it happen every boot?

Yes.

> If yes, does setting selinux to permissive help?

Tried that, but sadly no.

If it helps or is related, I also noticed other strange anomalies, like nscd not picking up /etc/resolv.conf, which then results in DNS not working correctly. So, I worked around that by putting something like this in /etc/systemd/system/nscd.service.d:
----------
[Unit]
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
----------

Output of the status command:
-------------------
● systemd-hwdb-update.service - Rebuild Hardware Database
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hwdb-update.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Tue 2016-06-14 13:21:42 AEST; 1 day 1h ago
     Docs: man:hwdb(7)
           man:systemd-hwdb(8)

Jun 14 13:21:42 <host> systemd[1]: systemd-hwdb-update.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Jun 14 13:21:42 <host> systemd[1]: Failed to start Rebuild Hardware Database.
-------------------

So, the condition failed (probably because /etc/udev/hwdb.d is empty), so this wasn't supposed to be started anyway, if I understand things correctly. So, why does systemd repeat the start request?

Maybe my computer is too fast... :-)

Every single unit in that list failed the same way: start condition failed.

Zbyszek, any idea?

Comment 5 perutka.ondrej 2016-07-07 10:31:18 UTC
I have the same problem on my ThinkPad W520 after upgrading from F23 to F24.

Comment 6 Arkady L. Shane 2016-07-18 07:34:39 UTC
Yes, Patch https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/7629ec4642b03517742d09b7303c204fddf82108 fixes this issue.

Comment 7 Bojan Smojver 2016-07-20 07:21:08 UTC
Could we get a build into testing based on the above patch?
