I just installed net-voip/murmur and after confirming that the requisite "pidfile" was defined by default (see Bug #915506 and the wiki page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Murmur needs to be updated since "pidfile" has been defined) in the configuration installed, i.e. /etc/murmur/murmur.ini, my attempt to start the server failed: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-voip/murmur 2. /etc/init.d/murmur start Actual Results: ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # /etc/init.d/murmur start * Starting murmur ... <X>2024-08-31 16:01:13.267 SSL: OpenSSL version is 'OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024' <F>2024-08-31 16:01:13.267 Specified ini file /etc/murmur/mumble-server.ini could not be opened * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/mumble-server' * Failed to start murmur [ !! ] * ERROR: murmur failed to start ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # Expected Results: ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # /etc/init.d/murmur start * Starting murmur ... [ ok ] ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # I do not know why /etc/murmur/murmur.ini is named as such, but the simple fix for me without removing the file, in case something else needs that particular file name, was to create a soft link so the application finds what it is looking for, e.g. mumble-server.ini: ln -s /etc/murmur/murmur.ini /etc/murmur/mumble-server.ini After creating the soft link, the server started as documented above in the "Expected Results" section. Either the /etc/init.d/murmur file need to be altered, and the installation should include the creation of a soft line. Also, I noticed that the permissions on /etc/murmur/murmur.ini were: ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # ls -lat /etc/murmur/ total 32 drwxr-xr-x 98 root root 8192 Aug 31 15:11 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 24 Aug 31 15:11 . -rw-r----- 1 root root 18106 Aug 31 15:11 murmur.ini ryzdesk /home/jlpoole # The file does contain a password, but I changed the permissions to: chmod -R 770 /etc/murmur Perhaps the maintainer may chime in on whether the permissions change is a problem?
