Jenkins install failed

Hello,

When I start up Jenkins I see this message in the journal

Apr 06 09:53:13 jenkins.stratos.xfusioncorp.com systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Failed to add fd to store: Operation not permitted

Which is wierd because im root here.
Any hints to solve this

#2

Have you got SELinux or AppArmor running?

#3

nope, I try this on this lab : Jenkins install and I think those are not installed on your own Jenkins server.

And I cannot image that Win10 is too blame here or Firefox.

#4

Do you have a link to the lab please?

#5

yep, this is my lab: KodeKloud - Engineer | Task

and im following this tutorial : How to Install Jenkins on CentOS 8?

and the problem arises from the systemctl start jenkins step

I see now this arirse from the prompt :

[root@jenkins ~]# sudo systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
#6

There is a link in the description that explains what you need to do it there is a timeout starting Jenkins. I have just completed this lab without experiencing the timeout.

Also if you are already root you don’t need to use sudo.

#7

found the link but I cannot find the service file anywhere.

and still this error in the journal :

Apr 06 14:44:52 jenkins.stratos.xfusioncorp.com systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Failed to add fd
 to store: Operation not permitted

installed openjdk 11

#8

I installed java-17-openjdk but it should be no different. Can you give a list of commands you are running and the output.

#9

of course :

#10

So I see you didn’t update all the packages and are using an older version of Java than I used, also the devel paakage rather than main. However following your commands (and installing wget) I was able to replicate the time out issue. This is fixed as given in the guide by editing the service and setting the timeout to infinty:

vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service

Uncomment the line and set as follows:

TimeoutStartSec=infinity

Then run these commands:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start jenkins
#11

Thanks, I wil try that
What is then the right java version and how do I install that ?

#12

I installed java-17-openjdk

#13

Thanks, I will then try that one
11 is still failing with :

[root@jenkins ~]# vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service
[root@jenkins ~]# systemctl daemon-reload
[root@jenkins ~]# systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details
#14

Did you uncomment this line:

#TimeoutStartSec=

and change it to:

TimeoutStartSec=infinity

Make sure infinity is spelt correctly.

#15

oke,

I tried with java17 and everything worked fine.
After a whole afternoon finally this one solved
