Is there a way (other than permit root login on the target machine) to work-around the following:
$ ssh 192.168.0.14
user@192.168.0.14's password:
"System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet. Please come back later. For technical details, see pam_nologin(8)."
I am trying to debug remotely a failure to start an X session.
At this time, the following link is not working for me:
This issue may come from /run/nologin. /run/nologin is created by systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service. It is then removed by systemd-user-sessions.service.
So you have to delete this:
$ ls -l /run/nologin
# rm /run/nologin
Let us know if it works! Good Luck!
/run/nologinwith cron on reboot helps you? – Panki Dec 13 '18 at 13:29
