systemctl errors

I noticed errors in systemctl

systemctl --all | grep error
auditd.service             error  inactive dead      auditd.service
plymouth-quit-wait.service error  inactive dead      plymouth-quit-wait.service
plymouth-quit.service      error  inactive dead      plymouth-quit.service
plymouth-start.service     error  inactive dead      plymouth-start.service
syslog.service             error  inactive dead      syslog.service
syslog.target              error  inactive dead      syslog.target

I can't disable or delete plymouth:

systemctl disable plymouth-quit-wait.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
[root@localhost splashy-themes]# systemctl delete plymouth-quit-wait.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit plymouth-quit-wait.service.snapshot does not exist.

I want to disable plymouth because i don't use this.
I don't know what is wrong with syslog and auditd.

Re: systemctl errors

Or better, just ignore them... they're ephemeral deps created on the fly to fulfill the dependency graph.

Re: systemctl errors

One Plymouth left:

systemctl --all | grep error
auditd.service             error  inactive dead      auditd.service
plymouth-quit.service      error  inactive dead      plymouth-quit.service
syslog.service             error  inactive dead      syslog.service
syslog.target              error  inactive dead      syslog.target

I delete plymouth from all files in /lib/systemd/system

Re: systemctl errors

And?
You already know why you get the error.
