An issue with connmand in init

Hello, I have a problem with connmand not properly starting during OS init. - The connmand script quietly dies during init. I cannot find anything in system logs. - The same script works perfectly fine, when it's started from interactive shell - I tried various approaches to the script, with start-stop-daemon or without it; trying a loop waiting for IP to be added. Nothing worked. - You can check the current version (minimalistic) below. - I think it used to work, but I cannot remember what changed and make it bad. I appreciate any suggestion. Where should I look? What can I change to enforce logs or any form of feedback. Regards, Wawrzek PS. Current state of the script. ``` #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/connamnd: start/stop connman daemon # NAME="/usr/sbin/connmand" case $1 in start) $NAME ;; stop) /usr/bin/killall -e $NAME ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 2 $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]" ;; esac -- Dr Wawrzyniec Niewodniczański or Wawrzek for short PhD in Quantum Chemistry & MSc in Molecular Engineering WWW: http://wawrzek.name E-MAIL: jobs(a)wawrzek.name Linux User #177124

qt6-webengine, qt6-base, and cups interdependency issue
by Daryl F 18 Nov '24

Hi all, I use a docker snapshot environment to create accurate footprints for the ports in the df repo. Ports are built in isolation to ensure there is no parasitic interaction in dependencies. This has worked well for several years. It catches missing dependencies and generates footprints that may end up reporting NEW items but never MISSING items. This methodology is broken by this test in the qt6-webengine Pkgfile: if [[ ! -e /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/printsupport/libcupsprintersupport.so ]]; then printf '\e[31m%s\e[m\n' " opt/qt6-base is not build with opt/cups support, and opt/qt6-webeninge depends on it! Please make sure opt/cups is installed, then rebuild opt/qt6-base. After that, you can attempt to build opt/qt6-webengine again. " exit 1 fi Because qt6-base is never built when cups is installed since it is not a dependency listed in qt6-base the build of qt6-webengine always fails. This is not a problem in my desktop environment. I use cups so it is already installed when I build qt6-base. This kind of hidden requirement in qt6-webengine breaks my quality control methods. For now all I can do is maintain my own port of qt6-base with cups listed in the dependencies. However, I suggest that this kind of test in qt6-webengine violates the tried-and-true intent of the dependency list in a Pkgfile in subtle ways and precludes some automation tools. I understand that not everyone that wants qt6-base wants cups but almost everthing that uses qt6-webengine does else the Print function in apps like qutebrowser can print but can only save to disk. I don't think including cups in qt6-base is much of a hit. Anyone using qt6-*anything* is already taking a huge hit in resources. Just because cups is installed with qt6-base no one has to start the cups daemon unless they specifically choose to in the their rc.conf. Again, thanks to the dev team for their hard work providing the best distro around.o Any suggestions? Comments? -Daryl
