I recently updated my ASL3 running on an x86 PC in a cloud server and after the reboot I get an error that a services wont start.
Failed to start asl3-boot-oneshot.service - ASL3 OneBoot Task.

Any ideas? google has never seen the service.

It sounds like OneBoot is a service from your cloud provider that is normally invisible to users. Have you checked with their support? It's not part of ASL3 AFAIK.

EDIT: I sit corrected; see below.

As @Chuck said this is not part of a norm.
Can you post a little more info as to the VPS service provider etc.
That is something to dig deeper on.
Some VPS's don't have a standard OS kernel, but a proprietary one.
Just leads to check..

The asl3-boot-oneshot.service is part of the "asl3" package. It runs one time at boot, after the network is up, and execs /usr/bin/asl3-boot-oneshot.

At present, /usr/bin/asl3-boot-oneshot is just performing some cleanup to undo some commands that were exec'd early in the year when we were having the kernel / USB issues.

Q? what does your system report when you exec :

systemctl status asl3-boot-oneshot.service

Everything seems to be working, i just like to know what errors are before there are a problem

systemctl status asl3-boot-oneshot.service

Odd. There's really not much to asl3-boot-oneshot. We only exec 2 commands in the script. The following commands can be used to check that they are available on your system :

which fuser
which apt-mark

And, as @Mike asked, can you tell us a little bit more about your "x86 PC in a cloud server"? What VPS are you using? Did you install the latest Debian? or some other OS?
