[Re-opened] Services added to default refuse to start

Message

This is a fresh installation.
My default runlevel looks like this:

vaio ~ # rc-update show default
            alsasound | default
           consolekit | default
                 dbus | default
                local | default
              metalog | default
               net.lo | default
           net.wlp5s0 | default
                 ntpd | default
                 sshd | default

Some of these I've added while I was booted from the install CD (metalog, sshd) and they start just fine.
However, no matter what I added after that doesn't start, even though it is in the default runlevel (alsasound, consolekit, dbus, net.wlps0, ntpd).
I can start each of these manually with 'service <name> start' OR '/etc/init.d/<name> start' and they start normally. But they are not started during system startup.

xtz,

Any error messages in your logs or on screen at startup?

What do you have in /etc/runlevels/default/ ?

It literally makes no sense.
I've wiped '/etc/runlevels/default/' out, rebooted, then created these again, rebooted again and now it works

How it looks like now:

Code: Select all

vaio default # ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 30 17:27 alsasound -> /etc/init.d/alsasound
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 30 17:26 consolekit -> /etc/init.d/consolekit
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 30 17:25 dbus -> /etc/init.d/dbus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 30 17:25 local -> /etc/init.d/local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 30 17:25 metalog -> /etc/init.d/metalog
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Aug 30 17:26 net.lo -> /etc/init.d/net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 30 17:26 net.wlp5s0 -> /etc/init.d/net.wlp5s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 30 17:27 ntpd -> /etc/init.d/ntpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 30 17:25 sshd -> /etc/init.d/sshd

But it did look like this before too. I've enabled rc logging (rc_logger="YES") so I'll have more info in case it happens again.
Otherwise no errors in /var/log/everything/current (metalog here), dmesg or anywhere.
Marking as SOLVED for now.

Another thing that comes to mind - net.lo is not in the default runlevel by default. Is it not required anymore, or is it skipped by mistake in the latest stage3 (hardened+nomultilib)?

net.lo is in boot not default

Thanks for the clarification, I removed it from default.
Still had to add it to boot as it was not there tho.

I just reinstalled and same thing happened again.
Am I missing something or this stage is really messed up:
So:

Code: Select all

vaio ~ # rc-update show default
            alsasound | default
           consolekit | default
                 dbus | default
                local | default
              metalog | default
           net.wlp5s0 | default
                 ntpd | default
                 sshd | default

local, metalog, sshd - added while chrooted from the install cd - starting automatically
alsasound, consolekit, dbus, net.wlp5s0, ntpd - added when booted from the hdd - not starting automatically. (note that dmesg output has output from the wifi as I've started net.wlp5s0 manually)

/etc/runlevels/default:

Code: Select all

vaio ~ # ls -l /etc/runlevels/default/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Sep  5 03:08 alsasound -> /etc/init.d/alsasound

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep  5 03:01 dbus -> /etc/init.d/dbus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 28 20:07 local -> /etc/init.d/local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep  5 00:11 metalog -> /etc/init.d/metalog

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep  5 03:04 ntpd -> /etc/init.d/ntpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep  5 00:07 sshd -> /etc/init.d/sshd

/var/log/rc.log:

vaio ~ #

dmesg - http://pastebin.com/CW9SPrfr

Where am I going wrong?

P.S.: In the interest of previous posts, net.lo is not in boot anymore, unless I put it there:

Code: Select all

vaio ~ # rc-update show | grep net
           net.wlp5s0 |      default
vaio ~ #
