If you are using Pbis-open to connect to the Windows AD and you have upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 you will have noticed that Pbis-open >= 8.2.2.2993 will not start the service lwsmd.<\/p>\n

The reason is the service environment on Ubuntu 15.04 have switched to systemd.<\/p>\n

Systemd uses a completely different concept for handling services so the package is not compatible.<\/p>\n

I was saved by the user kavirondo<\/a> from Ask Ubuntu, he\/she made this instruction:<\/p>\n

You need to create a systemd unit file for this service, and then enable it. The following worked for me on Ubuntu 15.04 (upgraded from 14.04) with PBIS 8.2.2.<\/p>\n

Create the file lwsmd.service in \/lib\/systemd\/system like this:<\/p>\n

nano \/lib\/systemd\/system\/lwsmd.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Here are the contents (paste this in to the file you created above) (taken from a redhat one) so thanks to them:<\/p>\n
[Unit]\r\nDescription=BeyondTrust PBIS Service Manager\r\nAfter=network.target\r\n\r\n[Service]\r\nType=forking\r\nEnvironmentFile=\/opt\/pbis\/libexec\/init-base.sh\r\nExecStart=\/opt\/pbis\/sbin\/lwsmd --start-as-daemon\r\nExecReload=\/opt\/pbis\/bin\/lwsm refresh\r\nExecStop=\/opt\/pbis\/bin\/lwsm shutdown\r\n# We want systemd to give lwsmd some time to finish gracefully, but still want\r\n# it to kill lwsmd after TimeoutStopSec if something went wrong during the\r\n# graceful stop. Normally, Systemd sends SIGTERM signal right after the\r\n# ExecStop, which would kill lwsmd. We are sending useless SIGCONT here to give\r\n# lwsmd time to finish.\r\nKillSignal=SIGCONT\r\nPrivateTmp=true\r\n\r\n[Install]\r\nWantedBy=multi-user.target nss-lookup.target\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once this is done, make a symlink to this file in \/etc\/systemd\/system:<\/p>\n
cd \/etc\/systemd\/system\r\nln -s \/lib\/systemd\/system\/lwsmd.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
At this point you should be able to type:<\/p>\n
service lwsmd status\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
and see that the service exists and is enabled.<\/p>\n
Then typing:<\/p>\n
service lwsmd start\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
should start it up and have pbis working as expected.<\/p>\n
Now to make it work at boot time. Enable the service with this command:<\/p>\n
systemctl enable lwsmd.service\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
It should give some feedback about creating some symlinks.<\/p>\n
Then reboot your comp and all should be working.<\/p>\n
I hope it was clear enough, and please forgive any typos… Good luck!<\/p>\n
