openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix gateway start fails with systemctl is-enabled unavailable in KVM VMs [1 participants]

Gateway service check failed: Error: systemctl is-enabled unavailable: Failed to connect to bus: 找不到介质

TL;DR

Modify the systemd service file to use openclaw gateway instead of openclaw gateway start to bypass the failing systemctl is-enabled check.

Guidance

• Identify the systemd service file installed by openclaw gateway install and modify the ExecStart line as shown in the provided workaround.
• Verify that the modified service file resolves the issue by running openclaw gateway start after applying the change.
• Consider reporting this issue to the OpenClaw developers to implement a more robust fallback for systemctl is-enabled failures in future versions.
• Ensure that the dbus permissions are correctly configured in the KVM virtual machine to prevent similar issues in the future.

Example

The modified ExecStart line in the systemd service file should look like this:

- ExecStart=/root/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/openclaw gateway start
+ ExecStart=/root/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/openclaw gateway

Notes

This workaround assumes that the openclaw gateway command can function correctly without the start parameter. If this is not the case, further investigation into the OpenClaw documentation or source code may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by modifying the systemd service file, as this provides a reliable solution to the immediate problem.
