Public bug reported:
I installed apache2 on Ubuntu 16.04, and out of the box it was enabled
as a service, meaning it would automatically start at every boot. That
is not what I want as this is my personal computer, not a server.
$ systemctl is-enabled apache2.service
enabled
So I ran:
$ sudo systemctl disable apache2
and this was the output:
apache2.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable apache2
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `apache2'
overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script
`apache2' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `apache2'
overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script
`apache2' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).
Then I rebooted. I expected to find apache2 not running. Instead, it was
running.
Surprisingly:
$ systemctl is-enabled apache2.service
apache2.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled apache2
disabled
so, it shows up as disabled, yet it is started at startup.
I wonder if this is what those warnings were about. Those messages are unclear
as fuck, I have no f***ing clue what they are supposed to mean. I read that the
CURRENT runlevel overrides a DEFAULT. I guess that should be fine, unless what
systemctl actually changes are the defaults, and those are overwritten by
something else, which means that "sysctl disable" will have no effect. If that
is the case, then the warning should be more explicit:
- be specific about the fact that "LSB defaults" are what the command is
changing
- tell me that as a result, the services will not be disabled
- tell me WHAT is overriding the defaults that I'm attempting to change
- and/or tell me what I am supposed to do to fix the issue
