My vero 4k wasn’t working properly today so I restarted it and saw this line

[failed] failed to start /etc/rc.local compatibility

sudo systemctl status rc-local gives me this display

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl status rc-local

Hi,

I would double check that rc.local is executable.

Also adding a sleep before the commands in rc.local may help.

Thanks Tom.

3

Have you changed rc.local? What’s the contents of it?

4

I haven’t done anything to it. Today it just decided to play up.
Its very stock/factory install. Running autofs but thats about it

How do I check if rc.local is executable and check contents??

5

cat /etc/rc.local (to check contents)
sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local (to make executable)

6

contents
osmc@osmc:~$ cat /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

exit 0

Nothing happens when I enter the executable line??

You won’t get visual feedback from that.
Try rebooting and seeing if the issue is gone.

8

Restarted and still getting the error.

9

Please can you upload a set of logs so we can check?

10

I wasn’t too sure which parts of the log to upload so I did the whole thing.
