Is init command no longer supposed to symlink to or call whatever immemorable 3X-15X command string is supposed to replace it?
I just booted with 3 on cmdline, logged in root, then issued 'init 1'. Instead of dropping to single, it went all in (runlevel 5, starting KDM) instead of shutting down network services and giving me a chance to restart everything single doesn't require, by subsequently issuing an init 3 command.
re: init 1 takes you to runlevel one and immediately back to runlevel 5. I have noticed that "init 1" does not work as previous, but... issueing "init s" will leave you in "single user mode" (previous init 1) and allow root login and subsequent operations. but(again)... init 3 from "single user mode" does not get you to text level but gives you an X login screen (runlevel 5). runlevels as such and reaching them via init 1-3 apparently are no longer supported but I haven't bothered to research systemd docs to see replacement commands. Lack of notice of this type of operation change is *not* something that should have been left to users/admins to research. Some knowledgable individual *should* have taken to time to write a faq and provided a link to post *specific* questions. I like the idea/function of systemd but do not like that I have to *search* for obscure documentation to find ways to perform operations that were simple via systemv-init, realizing that they became simple only due to repetitive use. At least I *could* google for those commands. If that *simple* faq does exist, it should *always* be provided/announced prominently where-ever systemd is employed. I do not mind change or the need to learn new ways. I do mind not being able to find the *explanation* of the *ways*. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
