[opensuse-arm] NTP service fails to start
The NTP daemon doesn't start journalctl -xn shows: Mar 26 15:13:45 linux start-ntpd[1779]: /usr/sbin/start-ntpd: line 144: logger: command not found Mar 26 15:13:45 linux systemd[1]: Failed to start NTP Server Daemon. Yep no logger command, and no rpm providing it (on 12.3 it's in util-linux). It seems like an essential command - is it missing deliberately?

Ouch. It probably got moved into another package and nobody updated the JeOS package list to include it. Please find out which package it is, so we can add it to the list. Or poke the maintainer of the ntpd package to add an explicit dependency on logger in his package.

It's probably not as straightforward, hence my post. It's not in any package in factory: # zypper in logger Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'logger' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'logger' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. On oS 12.3:
rpm -qf /usr/bin/logger util-linux-2.21.2-10.2.1.x86_64
# rpm -q util-linux util-linux-2.26-1.1.armv7hl On oS 13.2:
rpm -qf /usr/bin/logger util-linux-systemd-2.25.1-2.4.x86_64
# zypper in util-linux-systemd (1/1) Installing: util-linux-systemd-2.26-1.1 .........[done] # systemctl restart ntpd Works. So, zyppers' trying of capabilities sucks ;-) Package ntp is missing a dependency on util-linux-systemd (or logger). While logger was in util-linux it was obviously never noticed. Both the above are probably not ARM specific. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924451 Thanks for the pointer. General problem: How do I find out which package provides XX if zypper (and yast??) can't find it?

The file-lists are published for each release, then you can use e.g. https://github.com/benthaman/zyp-file to search them. Regards, Miklos

try "zypper in command-not-found" On a desktop it's installed by default. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

You keep trying random things with 'zypper install' and complaining that it doesn't work. Are you at least aware of 'zypper search'? Both operate on package names AFAIK, but 'in' really wants the exact name. Anyway, complaining about zypper here is not gonna get us anywhere. Please post to a suitable list for zypper or file bugs against it - or maybe even implement your ideas yourself. :)

It sounds like you never did "zypper dup" after installing, which should install additional tools like these. JeOS is really minimal.

Yes I am aware of zypper se, but it searches package names. It does have more options (thanks), but none search for any package providing command X. I'll file a suggestion.

As it should be. I didn't do zypper dup because I don't know what the definition of dist upgrade is for factory 7 days after fresh install (or at any time). I did zypper up only to pick up changes. dup does not install cnf btw.

Hi Volker,
# zypper in util-linux-systemd (1/1) Installing: util-linux-systemd-2.26-1.1 .........[done]
# systemctl restart ntpd
Works.
Cool! Thanks for finding this out. I've fixed Factory and 13.2 to include this package now, so fixed images should be available shortly. Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
