Remember the OP about rccrypto, systemd has trouble when there's no graphical way to prompt for a password. That's the problem, not the invocation sequence. That and making rccrypto issue the proper command (it shouldn't be hard).

MS has told developers to start making sure that server apps can be controlled from the command line -- because the desktop isn't going to be there.
Well, I don't think it's such a serious problem. In that, I don't think it's a design flaw in systemd. Systemd, AFAIK, has support for external password prompting, and right now the most prominent of those would be plymouth. But it's in no way limited to plymouth, so I'd expect a solution to the headless thing being a serial/text-based password prompting component. IOW, it should be fixable without major systemd intervention. Probably without any intervention. But, it does have to be fixed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
