upgrade 20.04 to 20.10 problem with SSSD

[bert.ram.aerts]

Hi,

Yesterday I upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 20.10.

In syslog I read:
Oct 17 20:24:30 Dell7577Linux systemd[1]: sssd.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 4.
Oct 17 20:24:30 Dell7577Linux systemd[1]: Stopped System Security Services Daemon.

Oct 17 20:24:30 Dell7577Linux systemd[1]: sssd-pam-priv.socket: Job sssd-pam-priv.socket/start failed with result

Also at boot there are 4 blocks of failing sssd messages about the same issue.

How can I solve this?

Kind regards,

Bert

Did you add the system to a Windows domain?

20.10 final has not been released yet. How did you upgrade ?

Did you add the system to a Windows domain?

I use samba to mount a windows NTFS harddisk from another PC.
