Hi all, so just updated to CU 188 and noticed a “new” error in the boot sequence: Starting Collection daemon
Terminated and on right hand side Fail
I think it is for the ipfire profile / fireinfo

Oh I see, well, from what I can see on the fireinfo page as well as on the IPFire profile page, it all seems to be working fine, so I will not worry about it too much, unless advised differently. Thank you
The collection daemon is the collectd programme which pulls together all the information from the sensors but also from things like the firewall rules information and is used for providing the info the the rrdtool that then creates all the graphs.
I have not seen the collection daemon failing to start on my CU188 Testing systems.
Confirm first that the daemon has failed to start by running the following command
/etc/rc.d/init.d/collectd status
If not running it will say so. If it is running then it will tell you so and provide the PID that has been assigned to it.
If it is not running then run the following command
/etc/rc.d/init.d/collectd/start
and see if it says that it Failed again. If it comes back with an OK then run the earlier status command and see if it then tells you a PID.
If it doesn’t start, does it show any messages about why not.
If it does start then do a reboot again and see if it starts properly this time.
Thank you, sir, /etc/rc.d/init.d/collectd status shows the collectd daemon as indeed running with PID 2865, so all good. I will give the system another reboot later today.
Okay, then something must have terminated the startup of the collection daemon during your reboot from the core update but then after the reboot had completed the program was restarted anyway.
As long as doing a reboot doesn’t cause the same issue to occur then everything should be fine.
