#Startx on boot update#
As a workaround update the test_service.Expand and simplify calculator. systemd offers the advantage of using a standardized interface that is consistent across all Linux distributions that. The systemd-cat output is not reliable because of a race condition. Although there are several ways to run a script or start a process when your Linode boots, a custom systemd service makes it easy to start, stop, or restart your script, as well as configure it to start automatically on boot. “Example service started at …” line does not appear in the output of the status command.The startx (or xinit) also brings up any pre-defined.

You should see that the service logged its start time immediately after booting: If command line server options are given, they override this behavior and revert to the xinit behavior. If that is not found, it uses the file xserverrc in the xinit library directory. Reboot your Linode from the Linode Manager and check the status of the service: sudo systemctl status myservice To determine the server to run, startx first looks for a file called. The service can be stopped or restarted using standard systemd commands: sudo systemctl stop myserviceįinally, use the enable command to ensure that the service starts whenever the system boots: sudo systemctl enable myserviceĬreated symlink from /etc/systemd/system//rvice to /lib/systemd/system/rvice. May 01 18:17:14 localhost cat: Example service started at 18:17:14 Note: Use and implement method 1 because this method fully tested our system.
This is why you get a 'black screen' or stuck at an OK Started some service message. Just put startx command into /etc/rc.local to run at boot time.

If the service is running correctly, the output should resemble the following: Once you have a unit file, you are ready to test the service: sudo systemctl start myserviceĬheck the status of the service: sudo systemctl status myservice Sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/rviceįor more information about the unit file and its available configuration options, see the The critical part is the ExecStart directive, which specifies the command that will be run to start the service.Ĭopy the unit file to /etc/systemd/system and give it permissions: sudo cp rvice /etc/systemd/system/rvice Given that you have installed GUI on your Ubuntu 20.
