[Bug 1320563] Re: invoke-rc.d: initscript systemd-logind, action "start" failed.

[PowerKiKi]

Thanks Stephen Spencer again.

Exactly same situation with Gandi.net provider. Issue could be diagnosed
thanks to Stephen explanation. And the solution was as simple as
switching kernel from 2.6.32-x86_64 to 3.10-x86_64 in gandi.net
administrative pages (in disk properties).
