Jenkins initialization thread/52 died

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

Hey,

I’ve got a freshly installed Ubuntu 24.04 with 21.0.2 openjdk.
Sys has 32gb ram, 16 core, 500 gb storage.
Tried to install Jenkins via ‘apt install jenkins’ but its failed at ~66%. Especially it is installed but could not started.

rerun the installation says:

root@jenkins:/home/jenkins# apt install jenkins
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
jenkins is already the newest version (2.440.2).

its also listening:

 x.x.x.x:8080/login?from=%2F
only printed:
'Please wait while Jenkins is getting ready to work ...'

but I could not start the service systemctl status says:

 root@jenkins:/home/jenkins# systemctl status jenkins

any idea how to make this work?
all ideas are appreciated.

Br,

I believe that message indicates that your computer is not completing the 10 second Jenkins startup timeout is reached.

I think that those messages may indicate that the computer is not fast enough (or lacks enough memory) to complete the Jenkins startup in the default 10 seconds. You can increase the timeout by using systemctl edit jenkins to include a value for the TimeoutStartSec directive that is described in

Hello Mark,
Just increased the TimeoutStartSec=900.
Its hanging after 10 min…

think so this should be enough for memory purpose:

In the meantime, does the Jenkins UI show up?
