Okay, maybe I'm missing something in this long debate..but, what exactly is the problem here?
systemctl doesn't have the same concept of runlevels as sysvinit
init 3 used to be a convenient way of booting a system that had X installed without loading X
systemctl disable xdm.service is arguably just as easy a way of accomplishing the same thing with systemd, with systemctl start xdm.service being how you'd start X when you want it, systemctl stop xdm.service being how to stop it when you're done with it..
Am I missing something here?
The only thing missing is the education of the masses. And the fact that the "new" way of doing this is so much easier then using init 3 & init 5. :-) Maybe I'll create a couple of new aliases like: alias init3="systemctl stop xdm.service" alias init5="systemctl start xdm.service" -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
