Research direction

Start by examining the AESMD systemd failure and the Docker environment on Ubuntu 22.04, including the available service status and error logs. Compare the failing AESM setup with the normally started PCCS service and the SGXDataCenterAttention QuoteGenerationSample environment. Done means AESM starts successfully and provides useful diagnostic output when it fails.

Description

ERROR:systemctl:the ExecStartPre control process exited with error code

I have installed the Pccs service and the AESM service. The PCCS service started normally, but the AESMD service failed to start (Docker environment, os: ubuntu22.04). The AESM service status only shows the failure without specific error information.

I have run through the SGXDataCenterAttention Primitives/SampleCode/QuoteGenerationSample example normally, and there is no problem with the sgx device.
