 Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2021 9:54 am Post subject: [solved] `xdm_bk' needs non existent service `xdm-setup' |
 |
|
As the title,
when I boot I get this line in the output, and also when I restart a service
I don't start xdm because I don't need it and it isn't in a start level
Why this line appear? I points out that my system works without problem, I only want to understand this line to remove it
an example
| Code: | gentoo ~ # /etc/init.d/sshd restart
* Caching service dependencies ...
Service `xdm_bk' needs non existent service `xdm-setup' [ ok ]
* Stopping sshd ... [ ok ]
* Starting sshd ... |
thanks a lot in advance

Hi
you need to have an
/etc/init.d/xdm
file containing
| Code: |
#!/sbin/openrc-run
# Copyright 1999-2020 Gentoo Authors
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2
depend() {
need display-manager
}
start() {
return
}
# vim: set ts=4 :
|
Do you?
If not either create it manually or try
| Code: |
emerge -1av display-manager-init
dispatch-conf
|
what does
| Code: |
ls /etc/init.d
and
cat /etc/conf.d/display-manager
|
say?
Are you using xdm display manager?

DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" |
the file /etc/init.d/xdm is the same as you.
No, I'm not using xdm, I don't want a display manager, I want only know the cause of this message and remove it.

Then try
| Code: |
emerge -cav xdm
emerge -a --depclean
rc-update delete display-manager default
|
Also try moving this xdm_bk some place else
and
find which package this troublemaker belongs to
before moving it.

it seams to be solved by moving xdm_bk elsewhere
probably when I unmerged xdm something didn't works and not all the files were deleted (a lot of time ago, I don't know why the message become now)
thanks a lot
