Odd message on boot
 

Been seeing a strange message recently on boot. Seems to have only
appeared in the last few weeks.


'Unknown group "netdev" in message bus configuration file'

Anyone know what's causing it and/or how to get rid of it?

Thanks,

DR

It means, D-BUS (or any message bus) is missing a group specified in its configuration file. A solution might be to just create the group.

No, I'm not going to go and blindly create the group. I want to
understand what in my configuration is expecting that group, as it's
entirely possible (and maybe even likely) that my configuration is wrong
and that the right course of action would be correcting the config.


So, it's helpful to know that one of the message buses is the source of
the issue. Do you know if there's any way to narrow it down more than
that? i.e., find out which config file is causing this?

It's caused by the avahi-daemon, check [1]. And if you're not sure which
configuration file contains a reference to this group, you can always do
something like `grep -R 'netdev' /etc/` to find out.
