Created attachment 1173355 [details] systemd lirc unit bugs Description of problem: systemd units for those units contain bugs that are not parsed correctly. Example: Documentation=System daemon handling events from IR remotes decoded \ by lircd ;; broken into multiple lines, seemingly unsupported [Service] ; user = : group = ;; first line is semicolon, second line is colon Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/sbin/irexec /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lirc-core-0.9.4-3.fc24.x86_64 systemd-229-8.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reload systemd units 2. wait a while 3. check journalctl Actual results: errors (see attachment) Expected results: correct load Additional info:
Hm... what's happening here? - When I download a fresh lirc-core package using "dnf --releasever=24 download lirc-core" the downloaded lircd.service file is correctly commented with semicolons, not comma in both cases. - Line continuation using \ is specified in the systemd.unit(5) manpage (and has been working well since long). Have you trailing whitespace after the backslash. Or, have you your own copies in /etc/systemd/system overriding the system defaults?
irexec.service has the colon bug, and I can’t see trailing whitespace anywhere. Original copies.
> irexec.service has the colon bug, Indeed. Will fix. > I can’t see trailing whitespace anywhere. Still, line continuation using \ is supported... What is the exact error you get?
Ah... Documentation= only allows URI:s, not free text. Need to fix this as well. Will update today or possibly tomorrow. I presume you can work around this for the moment.
(I worked around it by removing lirc, which is completely unnecessary on a server. Located 1000+ km away from me. And in case you hadn’t noticed, there’s an attachment with all errors.)
