The newest Arch still doesn't work with 2.1.1.

[llllllllqq]

Old issue here. #971
After 2.1.1's fix, arch is still not work, even cannot start ssh, dbus.
ldoutput.log
Here is log.
Maybe solution editing nsswitch mentioned in #971 is not a proper way.
Please recheck it. Thanks a lot.

[meefik]

You must reinstall or reconfigure the container.

[llllllllqq]

@meefik I've already made a fresh install.

[meefik]

Please put here your /etc/group

[meefik]

Ok, I will deal with the problem.

[meefik]

Fixed in version 2.1.1-239

[llllllllqq]

@meefik The 2.1.1(240) version still doesn't work. ssh/dbus of a fresh install Arch start fail.
ldoutput.log
/etc/group is the same as above.

[llllllllqq]

I upgrade the app from googleplay, and in app, i click install and wait for complete reinstall.
(I have not reinstalled the app itself)

[meefik]

Can you put here your latest /etc/group?

I can't reproduce it. Try the following steps:

1. stop your container
2. restart your device
3. reinstall this app (remove and install again)
4. run a new Arch Linux installation

Also I have the following log as debug mode:

:: Starting desktop/dbus ... dbus[4326]: Unknown username "systemd-timesync" in message bus configuration file
dbus[4326]: Unknown username "systemd-resolve" in message bus configuration file
dbus[4326]: Unknown username "systemd-network" in message bus configuration file
done

Dbus was successfully started. The message "Unknown username" can be ignored because systemd is not installed.

[llllllllqq]

What I do:

1. stop&uninstall&delete the img&reboot
2. install app from play
3. install arch as before
4. It still has problem. Here is debug output.

Note: My phone is zh_CN locale, and I do installation with en_US.UTF8 and username 'user'.
Note2: kali works fine for me. I will test arch on my another phone.

BTW, is that an upstream problem?

Can you give me a full log of the installation in trace mode?

This is a full log (debug+trace mode).
