[slurm-users] [slurm-dev] Re: Installing SLURM locally on Ubuntu 16.04

[Will L]

I am trying what you said, but I am having new and earlier problems. For
example, now munge does not start.

$ sudo systemctl enable munge
Synchronizing state of munge.service with SysV init with
/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable munge
Failed to execute operation: File exists

I really think I mangled my system because I tried so many different
things. Is there a way to start fresh without reinstalling my OS?
