That's good to hear. That means it's a bug in gdm, which doesn't surprise me.
I'll fill the bugzilla tomorrow, but against what, gnome? Now it is 4:34 AM, I should be in bed.
As for understanding systemd, I don't understand it at all. I've spent the past few hours trying to understand how the display manager is launched in the first place, and I haven't been able to find anything.
I think we have an hybrid, initd - systemd.
I know this much: /etc/init.d/rc is still being used, so the runlevels are still started the old fashioned way, at least for most things, and kdm is started through the standard /etc/init.d/xdm script.
I read somewhere that services were not all migrated to the new system. That if the equivalent exist, it is used, if not, the old one. Don't know how.
What I don't know: where rc is run from. I cannot find this, or any reference to it or inittab anywhere in the systemd source code, or in any of the configuration files.
It should mean though that your old way of adding services will still work
Via insserv?
I have also seen that systemd runs everything in parallel, and there is no apparent way of disabling that, which worries me a little, since RUN_PARALLEL=yes is the source of many problems and setting it to no is a very frequent solution (or at least workaround). If this is no longer available, I wonder what will happen.
They fail with initd, perhaps not with systemd.
But this systemd works silently, doesn't output text to the first console, we don't see if things worked or failed, or if it is stalling at some point.
Just now I booted my 12.1 test system, level 5. I logged in, then tried to also log in via ssh from the host system. But it was not responding! It boots so fast because it is delaying the startup of other services. I had to wait about a minute.
My experience is that the system isn't booting any faster, it's just starting "X" sooner so it *appears* to boot faster. -- 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
