TrueNAS Scale Error nslcd.service

TrueNAS Debian Error

Restart Problem

Hello, I have been using truenas scale for about a week and core for just over a couple years. Recently I had upgraded through truenas core gui to truenas scale on some 4th gen intel hardware from an older computer of mine. Everything was running fine until I restarted my truenas through the gui power button and when restarting, I was unable to get the os to boot.

Hooking up an external monitor, I was shown a “Failed to start nslcd.service - LSB: LDAP connection daemon.” With further digging, I found “nslcd.service: failed with result ‘exit-code” and “nslcd: no URIs defined in config”. Despite re-installing the TrueNAS os onto the boot drive and trying on another drive, it still fires these same errors.

I’ll be honest I know very little about this kind of stuff as I work in healthcare, but was hoping someone may know a little more about this error. With some basic internet searches I haven’t seemed to find much.

I can provide some photos of screen if that helps at all with troubleshooting.

Thank you again.

TL;DR: truenas restart resulting in error codes and not posting the OS.

I too have run into this same error. Clean install of TrueNAS Scale. When booting into the OS I get the nsl.service failed to start. I'm looking into it a bit more now. Not that I am any linux master. The only thing different is I had to change Motherboard processor and ram. Upon doing so everything is crashing when I have file transfers going. I watch my Ram swap file spike to 20Gigs then about 10-15 seconds later the system forces the system to reboot.

All overclocks disabled running stock. Only thing not changed is the expandable bar or whatever it is called. I don't currently have any pictures to show but am currently working everything out. Any ideas from anyone? Looks like the above user and I are in the same boat.

Same for me. I did't activated LDAP and I don't want to use Ldap. This worked for me:

sudo systemctl disable --now nslcd
sudo systemctl disable --now nscd
sudo systemctl stop nslcd
sudo systemctl stop nscd
sudo systemctl reset-failed

Ok sweet. I finally got the issue resolved where the ram would spike. Still not completely stable. Which I am wondering about this LDAP Directory service. When I get the chance today I'll give your sudo commands a shot and see how it works out.

Don't disable the nscd service if you have this problem. Leave it enabled. The nscd and nslcd services are unrelated to each other and serve different purposes. Instead, only disable the nslcd service. The suggested use of reset-failed is also problematic, in that it resets the failed state for every service, which may hide the existence of other problems. It's better to only reset the failed state for nslcd.

So, in summary, it's better to use these commands:
systemctl disable --now nslcd
systemctl reset-failed nslcd
