I have a 2 questions, my system spans 3 disks 2 internals and 1 external totalling 17.74 TiB, the issue is that the services ive enabled for boot like sddm,sshd,NetworkManager,etc do not startup. I have to do this manually and do not know why. the service files are correct and when I start them manually everything is ok, could simply write a bash script to start these services on boot but that does not solve the issue. the other issue is that the trashcan does not show up on the desktop, network and computer operations are not supported and the compuer icon is invisible. does anyone know if this is a common problem and possibly know if the arch wiki has documentation for these issues? im running lxqt with openbox display manager. any help would be much appreciated.

I have no experience of lvms, I also don't know about all those mountpoints you've got going. Is this with btrfs or ext4?
Have you tried running systemctl disable and then systemctl enable just to check there was no user error?
The only other thing I can think is that at the point of enabling services the correct disk is not yet mounted and gets mounted afterwards?

white basin I have no experience of lvms, I also don't know about all those mountpoints you'...

Its primarily ext4

#

and as for enabling and disabling, Ive tried that, the services work fine, they just are not starting up automatically and Im not seeing any errors in the journal to solve the issue , my thoughts were that its spanning across 3 physical disk in the volume group but i have no logs saying one way or the other

#

Ive i installed arch many times and ive never ran into this issue before

if this is just me being ignorant feel free to say so, but, why have you got so many different mounpoints? you've got / for root, /home, they're standard, but /opt /var /srv /tmp /root and /etc are a bit unusual?

your right they are less common but not necessarily unusual, its for lvm snapshots

nothing there would effect services presumably?

Have you encountered the other issue related to the desktop icon error for network

No, Ive tested this setup before deploying it and I didn’t run into this issue, the only difference in the deployment is the test was using uefi and this is using bios

tiny vapor No, Ive tested this setup before deploying it and I didn’t run into this issue, ...

why are you using bios? /genq

tiny vapor Jun 3, 2024, 11:59 AM

#

because it doesn’t support uefi

#

Its an older system

ahhh okay

#

I was hoping given the time it's taken for a reply that these simple questions might help you rubber duck solve it but I'm not too sure myself. You're clearly not a newbie.
