Public bug reported: After installing anope (2.0.4-2) on Ubuntu 18.04 and starting the service with systemctl it reports the service as active. However the daemon is not launched. The following log messages are however visible in syslog:
Nov 30 09:15:00 the systemd[1]: Starting LSB: A set of IRC Services... Nov 30 09:15:00 the systemd[1]: Started LSB: A set of IRC Services. After investigation of the init.d script it seems it reads from this default file which contains a flag to prevent starting the service: /etc/default/anope https://salsa.debian.org/dom/anope/blob/master/debian/default However there is no message anywhere that this is required. This version of the Debian package includes a message in the init script. Ideally the Ubuntu package would include something similar to provide feedback about why the service was not started. https://github.com/piger/anope- debian/blob/dc1d00b6c9ef59e1c844e799bab2a524b45d068c/debian/anope.init#L110 If this is an acceptable solution I am happy to open a PR with the fix? ** Affects: anope (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806006 Title: Anope does not start on Ubuntu 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anope/+bug/1806006/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
