You could run “lsof | grep nscd”, but it’s likely to be the case once nscd running. > Questions for Section 2.6.3 X11 Fonts > > * Trisquel does not have xset It surely has a package for it. > * Should I get xset from APT or Guix?

However, for system services (nscd, sshd, etc.), you’ll usually want to use apt-get because that’ll not only install the package but also add the relevant service startup scripts. HTH! Ludo’.
