[opensuse-factory] firstboot and systemd
Hi, This is not directly factory related, but really a systemd question and a difference w.r.t. behavior after firstboot action. I have a script that after collecting some data through a YaST module at first boot sets up a few things and then adds a service to the init process (insserv < 12.1, systemctl enable >= 12.1). The problem now is that prior to 12.1 after firstboot was completed and I had added the services, these services were started by init. However, in 12.1 with systemd the services do no longer get started after firstboot is complete. If I insert an explicit 'systemctl start ....' into the script that enables the service then things hang as the service wants multi user mode and during first boot we are still in single user mode. Therefore I trigger a deadlock, not very pleseant when one wants the system to actually do something "useful". Question now is, how do I manage this with systemd such that the service is actually started after firstboot is complete and multiuser mode is entered?

Not tested as all, but I'd use something like :
After=YaST-Firstboot.service multi-user.target
RequiresOverridable=YaST-Firstboot.service
it should ensure your service won't be startable uninstall
YaST-Firstboot.service has started.

My bad, Use
Requisite=YaST-Firstboot.service
not RequiresOverridable=
