[SOLVED] Having trouble with Daemons.

icefire227 · 2012-02-28 09:33:51

So everytime I log onto arch, I need to run DHCPCD and dbus.

I tried putting dbus in my daemons array, yet I still need to manually start it whenever I turn my computer on, same for my internet. it doesn't start unless I start it manually. here is my /etc/rc.conf file if that helps. Thanks.

Is your system up to date ?

Only thing that I can see is that you need to put your hostname like this:
HOSTNAME="Simon"

It should be. I just installed it today.

When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

What's the output of

rc.d list dbus

after you start your system (w/o manually starting dbus)? It should say

[STARTED][AUTO] dbus

Just put my hostname in quotes. did nothing.

icefire227 · 2012-02-28 09:58:07

/etc/rc.conf: line 35: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/etc/rc.conf: line 41: syntax error: unexpected end of file
[STARTED][    ] dbus

Alright. DIdn't know that. But here.

If you installed Arch using netsintall image, it should be up to date, but just in case, run

pacman -Syu

karol · 2012-02-28 10:01:35

LOCALE="en_US.utf8

should read

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"

You missed the closing quotes.

icefire227 · 2012-02-28 10:25:57

Did both, now its working. Thanks!
