Description Adrien Dessemond 2023-04-21 12:17:57 UTC

System logs say:

[63449.942358] udevd[6935]: failed to execute '/sbin/sysctl' '/sbin/sysctl -q --pattern ^sunrpc --system': No such file or directory
[63449.945399] udevd[6936]: failed to execute '/sbin/sysctl' '/sbin/sysctl -q --pattern ^fs.nfs.n[sl]m --system': No such file or directory
[63449.970722] udevd[6942]: failed to execute '/sbin/sysctl' '/sbin/sysctl -q --pattern ^fs.nfs --system': No such file or directory

An easy fix would be to just create a symlink to the expected location.

Please add 'emerge --info' in a comment and also 'emerge -pqvO sys-fs/eudev'

Do you have some stale files in /etc that refer to sysctl by name perhaps, because I don't see any references to it in the eudev sources, nor do I have any logs or configs resembling that.

Comment 2 orbea 2023-09-12 16:26:16 UTC

I hope no one minds me closing this, eudev has no references to 'sysctl' within the source code or ebuild directory so this is either a user configuration issue or a bug in a package that is not eudev.

In the latter case please identify which package and open an issue for it instead.
