Whonix 17.2.3.7 kloak.service not restarting

Support
1

Kloak.service is not restarting on my VMs.

I have Whonix installed twice and it happens on both Workstations.

Error: kloak.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'
Main PID: 1983 (code=dumped, signal=SYS)

Tried to restart it with
“sudo systemctl restart kloak”
“sudo systemctl stop kloak”
“sudo systemctl start kloak”

Nothing worked.

Which virtualizer?

Any unusual architecture?

Here is how you can debug it.

Can you make head or tail of that?

Virtualbox

No x86 Intel

Syscall 89, I will look into it further. When it does not work I can do a fresh install.

I can confirm this.

I also have this problem. I went down the rabbit hole and found this:

#define _NR_ReadLink 89

I have no idea if this right for my system so I did not modify file kloak.service. I will wait for a solution from someone more knowing than me. Sorry, cant be of more help.

Kloak package in stable repository was outdated. So this probably only affected upgrade versions.

Should be fixed after upgrades.

Fix kloak package (i had run into the readlink seccomp issue myself earlier) should be fixed after upgrades.
