suggestion: disable Casper-md5check.service after installation - LL-user - 06-20-2025

Hi Jerry & team,

I noticed that after installing LL 7.4 the service Casper-md5check.service is throwing an error:
Code:
$ sudo systemctl list-units --failed

  UNIT                    LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                             
● casper-md5check.service loaded failed failed casper-md5check Verify Live ISO checksums

Haven't seen that in older versions. Would suggest to have this service disabled with an installation as it's not necessary. It's only designed to verify the integrity of a Live ISO system.

Thanks for your consideration Smile

Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this. Safe to disable this service post-install, even to remove casper altogether.
Fixed in 7.6

Code:
sudo systemctl stop casper-md5check.service
sudo systemctl disable casper-md5check.service

and, or:

Code:
sudo apt remove --purge casper*
