Just updated my server from 16.04 up to 22.04 one step at a time. Now I have these problems that are way beyond me. The machine is still working. How can I fix these broken services? Or can I somehow remove them if they redundant?

$ sudo systemctl list-units --failed
  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION

● ureadahead.service           loaded failed failed Read required files in advance
● [email protected]             loaded failed failed User Manager for UID 123

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
3 loaded units listed.

As a general methodology, these issues are fixed the same way you reportedly got to this point: "one step at a time".

Let's pick an error message from your log: "Failed to insert module 'it87': Device or resource busy". The first Google result is https://github.com/a1wong/it87/issues/1 with a similar title in a repository for this device. Good sign. You could follow that thread and there are different suggestions, the one that worked for their case was as follow:

my case was solved by adding in grub config acpi_enforce_resources=lax

This solution is supported by further comments on that source.

If this noesn't work, you need to continue digging. If works for you, you can move on to fix the next error.

  • The suggestions in that post didn't turn up anything useful. In the end I just commented out it87 from /etc/modules - now the systemd-modules-load service is happy, without worrying warnings. I don't really need to see the fan speed anyway. For the ureadahead service, seems many people believe it's not longer necessary so I just did `apt purge ureadahead` Anyway, thanks for replying – RichEarle Aug 22 '22 at 10:53
