I ran into this issue today, and at the very least it is a documentation issue.
The only way I've found to get watchdog running on startup is to modify watchdog.service. I found instructions on how to do this here: https://kd8twg.net/2015/10/30/raspberry-pi-enabling-watchdog-on- raspbian-jessie/ Basically you just need to add the following lines to /lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service: [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target After that, systemctl enable watchdog.service works as intended. However, it doesn't seem right that you should modify a system file to get it to start correctly. If there is a better way to start watchdog, it should be documented somewhere. Otherwise, should I create a patch to add this change? Or would it be better to report this to Debian? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582707 Title: Watchdog package installation is unclear/flawed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/raspbian/+bug/1582707/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
