How to completely remove service from systemd using systemctl? OpenSUSE
[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I want to completely get rid of plymouth-start.I disabled plymouth-start and stopped it using systemctl, then used zypper to remove the package from the system.
It still shows up when checking with systemctl:
Code:
sam14:/home/keith # systemctl status plymouth-start
plymouth-start.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: failed (Result: signal) since Wed 2015-01-21 22:37:17 EST; 21min ago
Main PID: 225 (code=killed, signal=SEGV)
It is probably not doing any harm, but I'd like to remove it so it doesn't show up in systemctl at all. Reading the man page for systemctl has not revealed to me how to do it.It still shows up when I list units that failed to load:
Code:
sam14:/home/keith # systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
plymouth-start.service not-found failed failed plymouth-start.service
Ideas? I'm using OpenSUSE 13.2.Thanks,
Keith Ostertag

Don't have a OpenSUSE system to check, but should be easy enough to see if it also applies there.Old 01-22-2015, 07:27 AM #3

Thank you for responding.
I care simply because I should be able to completely purge it (or any program) from my system, agreed?

I subsequently got rid of that pesky error message by running mkinitrd for some other unrelated problem.
More subsequent reading of the man page suggests that
Code:
systemctl disable plymouth-start.service
should work, but I haven't had the chance to test that.Keith Ostertag

You can simply remove that by hand, if you are bothered by it.

Code:
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
and delete any dangling symlinks for that .service1 members found this post helpful.
