[SOLVED] Boot up error: Failed to start LSB: Init script for TCSD

[Jake Jast]

For a month I've seen in boot.log this error:

Failed to start LSB: Init script for TCSD                              [FAILED]
See 'systemctl status tcsd.service' for details.

The strange thing is that the system, after boot up, doesn't advice me of this error like will happen with others.
So I've tried to type the command 'systemctl status tcsd.service' as suggested and the output was:

tcsd.service - LSB: Init script for TCSD
	  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/tcsd)
	  Active: failed since Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:39:14 +0200; 52min ago
	 Process: 882 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/tcsd start (code=exited, status=137)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/tcsd.service

My questions are: What is the tcsd.service? Why the system doesn't advice me? How can I resolve?

It's a trusted computing interface. And it may not start if there is no device...

It shouldn't be a problem.

It was installed and enabled a little while back with the trousers package.

The tcsd service should not (and will) not run on systems that do not a have a TPM chip.

If you have no TPM chip in your machine, you can just disable the tcsd service

systemctl disable.tcsd.service

Thanks to all for answering my question. II' ve disabled the service and it's all ok.

Hi all, just thought I should mention this:
I have noticed that none of my Fedora Kernels past 3.2.1 wanted to boot up, they kept hanging, until I disabled the TCSD, and now everything works fine. Worth a mention I thinks looking like when I was searching for a solution nothing worked
