[systemd-devel] /etc/systemd/system/darkice.service

[Kai Hendry]

Hi guys,

http://sprunge.us/SLSF is the service file I have currently. I'm
running http://archlinuxarm.org/ on a Rpi with systemd 204-3.

I'm having issues creating a service file for "darkice" a audio
streamer that depends on:
* a network connection
* a microphone sys-devices-platform-bcm2708_usb-usb1-1\x2d1-1\x2d1.2-1\x2d1.2:1.0-sound-card1.device

First scenario, microphone unplugged:

[root at pihsg ~]# systemctl status darkice.service
darkice.service - DarkIce audio forwarder
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/darkice.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2013-07-18 17:49:41
SGT; 5min ago
  Process: 279 ExecStart=/usr/bin/darkice (code=exited, status=255)

Jul 18 17:49:41 pihsg systemd[1]: Started DarkIce audio forwarder.
Jul 18 17:49:41 pihsg darkice[279]: DarkIce 1.1 live audio streamer,
http://code.google.com/p/darkice/
Jul 18 17:49:41 pihsg systemd[1]: darkice.service: main process
exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a
Jul 18 17:49:41 pihsg systemd[1]: Unit darkice.service entered failed state.


I expected systemd to deny the start with
sys-devices-platform-bcm2708_usb-usb1-1\x2d1-1\x2d1.2-1\x2d1.2:1.0-sound-card1.device
loaded inactive dead
sys-devices-platform-bcm2708_usb-usb1-1\x2d1-1\x2d1.2-1\x2d1.2:1.0-sound-card1.device


Second scenario, microphone plugged in:

[root at pihsg ~]# systemctl status darkice.service
darkice.service - DarkIce audio forwarder
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/darkice.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 1970-01-01 07:30:08
SGT; 43 years 6 months ago
  Process: 121 ExecStart=/usr/bin/darkice (code=exited, status=255)

journalctl -b | grep -i dark reveals

DarkIce: TcpSocket.cpp:226: gethostbyname error [0]

So the network wasn't ready even when depending on nss-lookup.target.
I did try tweaking restart interval settings to 20, but that didn't
help either. Any tips?

The network is brought up by netctl-ifplugd at eth0.service

Many thanks,
