[SOLVED] warning: /etc/runit/sv/wpa_supplicant: unable to open supervise/ok

26 July 2020, 20:16:32

Hi,

I get this error "warning: /etc/runit/sv/wpa_supplicant: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist"

I try to fix it, with no success. I found some fix like delete lock files, down and up services, but doesn't work.

I check the folder /etc/runit/sv/wpa_supplicant/ and not find de folder "supervise"... I try to created manually, but not work.

Appreciate any help.

Hi colpshift
Did you run: sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/wpa_supplicant /run/runit/service
What is the output of pacman -Q | grep wpa_supplicant
What is the output of ps -ef|grep wpa_supplicant
Also please provide some more info, like did this ever work before, what changed, etc

Maybe this is a stupid question but.

Have you got "wpa_supplicant-runit" installed?

EDIT: Sorry I saw you already have wpa_supplicant-runit installed.

Best regards.

Hi,

[SOLVED] "warning: /etc/runit/sv/wpa_supplicant: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist"

For unknown reason (possibly my mistake), I created a link to superviser folder in the folder services that returning warning error.

Solution:

Delete the superviser folder link and Link again the service.

Thanks for all..
