Unable to start/enable the daemons

[Evert Meulie]

Hi all,

I'm checking out Bareos (on Ubuntu 22), by following the docs.

However, I got stuck on https://docs.bareos.org/IntroductionAndTutorial/InstallingBareos.html#linux

systemctl enable --now bareos-dir
systemctl enable --now bareos-sd
systemctl enable --now bareos-fd

On Ubuntu 22 this gives me:

Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: bareos-dir.service
Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: bareos-sd.service
Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: bareos-fd.service

How do I fix this?

[Evert Meulie]

It looks like a quick/dirty fix is:

systemctl enable  /lib/systemd/system/bareos-filedaemon.service

systemctl enable  /lib/systemd/system/bareos-storage.service

systemctl enable  /lib/systemd/system/bareos-filedaemon.service

Nice :-( 

Would you mind to make a PR against the documentation adding a special case for Debian and derivatives?

Thanks.
