iio-sensor-proxy.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM

[gardeaz2]

Hello,

My iio-sensor-proxy doesn't seem to be working, and I am not sure why. When I run [daniel@daniel-pc ~]$ gdbus introspect --system --dest net.hadess.SensorProxy --object-path /net/hadess/SensorProxy, I get the message Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.hadess.SensorProxy was not provided by any .service files

After noticing this, I restarted it and checked the status, [daniel@daniel-pc ~]$ systemctl restart iio-sensor-proxy.service [daniel@daniel-pc ~]$ systemctl status iio-sensor-proxy.service, which returned iio-sensor-proxy.service - IIO Sensor Proxy service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead)

May 23 15:28:56 daniel-pc systemd[1]: Starting IIO Sensor Proxy service... May 23 15:28:56 daniel-pc systemd[1]: Started IIO Sensor Proxy service. May 23 15:28:56 daniel-pc systemd[1]: iio-sensor-proxy.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM May 23 15:28:56 daniel-pc systemd[1]: iio-sensor-proxy.service: Succeeded.

The same message appears if I use systemctl start iio-sensor-proxy.service instead of systemctl restart iio-sensor-proxy.service.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. What does status=15/term mean? What else can I do to try to solve my issue?

Thanks, and let me know if you need any more information.

How did you install iio-sensor-proxy, and which version?

[gardeaz2]

I installed using Git to download the files, then ran ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc make make install as the instructions said on the readme.

I also tried installing it from Pamac,, but I got the same error.

Both installations use version 2.7.

I'm running Manjaro KDE, if that is relevant.

I am having this issue as well. I installed from Pacman on arch, then uninstalled and attempted install from repo, but the compilation failed.

[hadess]

Can you please follow the instructions in the README about debugging, and get the debug output? Have you also tried running iio-sensor-proxy on its own with that environment variable, as root, to see if there were any errors?

Ran into the same issue on clearlinux with git master. I rebooted to get the udev rules.

iio-sensor-proxy is already running, or it cannot own its D-Bus name. coupled with The name net.hadess.SensorProxy was not provided by any .service files means D-Bus couldn't find the files you just installed. Install them in the right prefix (and maybe reboot). This isn't an iio-sensor-proxy problem. Maybe using the version that comes with your distribution would be a good idea as well.

Ah you're right! The dbus wasn't picking up the file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d. I moved it to /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d and it starts now.

[hadess]

I'm going to assume that the original poster had the same problem that was just diagnosed.
