    Default Following snapshot 20200914 error "Failed to start Apply Kernel Variables"

    Both my TW machines now throw "Failed to start Apply Kernel Variables" error upon boot following snapshot 20200914

    From the journal, this appears to be due to:

    Code:
    Sep 16 11:23:54 Orion-15 systemd-sysctl[409]: Couldn't write '"0 2147483647" to' to 'net/ipv4/ping_group_range': Invalid argument
Sep 16 11:23:54 Orion-15 systemd[1]: systemd-sysctl.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Sep 16 11:23:54 Orion-15 systemd[1]: systemd-sysctl.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Sep 16 11:23:54 Orion-15 systemd[1]: Failed to start Apply Kernel Variables.

    I was getting the same thing. I removed the quotation marks in
    Code:
     /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf
    from the line that contains
    Code:
    net.ipv4.ping_group_range = "0 2147483647"
    to
    Code:
    net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647
    and everything seems to be working fine.

    Yes, it seems this was already known about: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1174504

    However I didn't find that report when I searched earlier ....

    I did not see that bug report before I came to a same conclusion but well, everyone can miss something.

    I'm having this issue, as well. But I used nano to remove the quotes from the specified line in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf, and it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue.

    My error message in the log (via journalctl):

    Code:
    Sep 16 16:01:05 linux-vsbp systemd[1]: Starting Apply Kernel Variables...
Sep 16 16:01:05 linux-vsbp systemd[1]: systemd-sysctl.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

    My file via sudo nano /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf

    Code:
    net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647
    How am I still having the error?

    And what effect can it have on my system?

    I had/have the same issue. In addition to removing quotation marks in 50-default.conf I updated initramfs image and errors disappeared from logs.
    In a nutshell, in addition to solution posted by SJLPHI I ran:
    Code:
    sudo mkinitrd

    Yes, recompiling is necessary, sorry, I neglected to mention that.

    Users may choose to copy file /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf to /etc/sysctl.d/50-default.conf and edit the latter. As a bonus systemd-delta lists the changes made:

    Code:

    Has this been fixed already upstream or better to wait some days before next zypper dup? Not interested in reviving all TWs right now... ;-)
    Kind regards
