System has not been booted with systemdLinux

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

You ran systemctl inside an environment without systemd as PID 1 — a Docker container or older WSL.

Failed to connect to busLinux

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory (systemctl --user / timedatectl)

The command needs the D-Bus/systemd bus, which isn’t available in this session — common over su, sudo -u, cron, containers or WSL.

provided port is not in the valid rangeKubernetes

spec.ports[0].nodePort: Invalid value: 80: provided port is not in the valid range. The range of valid ports is 30000-32767

A NodePort Service asked for a port outside the cluster’s NodePort range (default 30000–32767).

startForeground not calledAndroid

Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground() / ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException

A foreground service didn’t call startForeground() within a few seconds, or the app tried to start one from the background where…

Job for x.service failedLinux

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code

systemd tried to start the service, but its start command failed. The real reason is in the service’s status/journal.

Restarting (1)Docker

Docker container keeps restarting (Restarting (1) x seconds ago)

The container crashes on start and its restart policy (always/unless-stopped/on-failure) starts it again in a loop.

0x80070422Windows

Windows Update error 0x80070422 (service is disabled)

Windows Update (or the Microsoft Store/Defender) can’t run because a required service — usually Windows Update (wuauserv) — is di…

Unit not foundLinux

Failed to start x.service: Unit x.service not found

systemd has no unit with that name — the package isn’t installed, the name differs on this distro, or a new unit file wasn’t load…

status=203/EXECLinux

systemd: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC

systemd couldn’t execute the ExecStart command — the path is wrong, the file isn’t executable, or its interpreter is missing.

Two steps away (23)

CannotPullContainerErrorAWS

ECS task stopped: CannotPullContainerError: pull image manifest has been retried ... / ref pull has been retried

The ECS task couldn’t pull its image — no network route to the registry, missing ECR permissions, or a wrong image tag.

Exited (0)Docker

Docker container exits immediately (Exited (0) / Exited (1) right after start)

The container started and its main process finished at once, so the container stopped — Docker containers only live as long as PI…

ACR unauthorizedAzure

Azure Container Registry: unauthorized: authentication required, visit https://aka.ms/acr/authorization (AKS ErrImagePull 401)

Pulling/pushing to ACR wasn’t authenticated — Docker not logged in, or AKS/App Service lacks AcrPull on the registry.

Authentication token manipulation errorLinux

passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

passwd couldn’t update the password — the root filesystem is read-only, /etc/shadow has wrong permissions/attributes, or a PAM ru…

AADSTS50034Azure

AADSTS50034: The user account does not exist in the directory

There’s no user with that sign-in name in the tenant.

AADSTS50057Azure

AADSTS50057: The user account is disabled

The account exists but is blocked from signing in.

network not foundDocker

Error response from daemon: network X not found

The container or Compose project refers to a Docker network that doesn’t exist (any more).

iptables: No chain/target/matchDocker

driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Docker’s iptables rules were wiped (firewalld/ufw reload, iptables flush) while Docker was running, so it can’t publish ports.

default backend - 404Kubernetes

Ingress returns "404 Not Found" / "default backend - 404" (ingress-nginx)

The ingress controller received the request but no Ingress rule matched the host/path, so it answered with its default backend.

no endpointsKubernetes

Service has no endpoints (no endpoints available for service / Endpoints: <none>)

The Service’s selector matches no ready pods, so traffic to it is refused or returns 503.

SecurityException: Permission DenialAndroid

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial ... requires android.permission.X

The app called an API that needs a permission it hasn’t declared or the user hasn’t granted at runtime.

FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLEAndroid

Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent

Apps targeting Android 12+ must declare PendingIntent mutability; missing flags crash.

bind() failed (98: Address already in use)Linux

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

Nginx (or another server) can’t listen on the port because another process already holds it — often Apache, another Nginx, or a s…

nginx: [emerg] unknown directiveNginx / Apache

Nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "x" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/x:12 — configuration file test failed

Nginx found a directive it doesn’t know — a typo, a missing semicolon on the previous line, a directive from a module that isn’t…

CrashLoopBackOffKubernetes

Kubernetes: CrashLoopBackOff

The container starts, crashes (or exits), and Kubernetes keeps restarting it with increasing back-off delays.

OOMKilledKubernetes

Kubernetes: OOMKilled (exit code 137)

The container used more memory than its limit, and the kernel killed it.

500.30.NET

HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start

IIS/Azure’s ASP.NET Core Module launched your app but it crashed during startup.

0x80070005Windows

Windows Error 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED): Access is denied

Windows refused an operation because the account or process lacks permission — seen in Windows Update, installers, Task Scheduler…

0x80070002Windows

Windows Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified

A file or registry entry Windows expected is missing — common in Windows Update, backups and app installs.

0x80070643Windows

Windows Error 0x80070643: Fatal error during installation

An MSI-based installer or update (often Defender definitions, .NET or the WinRE update KB5034441) failed during installation.

command not foundLinux

bash: command not found

The shell can’t find an executable with that name in any directory on your PATH.

exec no such file or directoryDocker

exec /docker-entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory (CRLF line endings / missing interpreter)

The entrypoint file exists, but the kernel can’t run it — almost always Windows CRLF line endings in the script, or a shebang poi…

avc: deniedLinux

SELinux is preventing ... / avc: denied { read } for pid=... (permission denied despite correct permissions)

SELinux blocked the access — file permissions look fine, but the file’s security context or a boolean doesn’t allow the service t…
