[EN] Survey on systemd Who uses it?

[belze]

however it would be a nice plus and it could have a big echo imho.
i use systemd and i am really happy with it

I agree, and one of the reasons siduction exists is to promote new stuff. but you only have a positive echo if it works. If it does not, you do not only damage siduction but also the software you wanted to push forward.

6 very different hardware platforms are booting siduction flawlessly with systemd.

But in Gentoo forums I lately read a lot of difficulties for people who are using Lvm. After more than a year of heavy trolling against systemd in Gentoo forums: Now there are many who want to run Gnome-3.8, which needs systemd. (I really don't know what is it about, half of Gnome-3 is buggy javascript and the rest has lost all of the features Gnome-2 was able to deliver)

And there might be a lot more corner cases beside Lvm and not yet encountered. For example Xfce4 is largely bound to old consolekit session.

absolute words of wisdom

if i had more skills to give i'd help testing and/or contributing and since i'm not a siduction dev i'll thank you for your work.
that said I have to say that you provide excellent support for (debian's) unreleased software such as KDE or razorqt, it would be too much to support systemd as extra feature for siduction. debian supports systemd quite well right now (imho) for desktop purpose, and it is enough for me...

i tried to reinstall console-common and i got this error

Code: [Select]

Looking for keymap to install:
NONE
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Failed to issue method call: Unit keymap.sh.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status keymap.sh.service' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript keymap.sh, action "start" failed.

maybe related to this bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677314
 things like that may prevent to adopt systemd as default  :?
(and magic apt-get -f install can't solve this issue  :roll:  )

[ralul]

@belze, this "keymap.sh" is an old sysV script, probably used with old systemd-044, the new one: systemd-localed.service

monitor it:
systemctl status systemd-localed

informs you:
man 8 systemd-localed.service
man 5 locale.conf
man 1 localectl

systemd 204-3 has hit unstable last night.

[belze]

...and i got xserver upgraded and libaudit0 removed. Yay!

[GoinEasy9]

Tonights update (to 204-4) wants to remove systemd-sysv, that's when it's off hold.  When on hold, it prevents the update, saying it depends on 204-3.  Guess I'll have to wait a bit.

[timc]

@GoinEasy9 - Do it just as described in the top post of this thread, except for 204-4

Thanks Tim.  I knew I was forgetting something.  I should have searched for the "apt-mark hold systemd-sysv" line of devil's.  That part I remembered.  Thanks again.

With Arch linux I am currently using version 207 for systemd
I will have to look at Gentoo to see if that is the same, probably is...

On boot I was seeing

Code: [Select]

TSC fast boot initailazation failed
 That message seems to have gone with ver 207..
What I am seeing though are occasional Shutdown locks. That is a New issue.

Don't know if I am ready to go systemd with Debian yet.
Besides the Fast Boot and Shutdown not much else about it impresses me.

[GoinEasy9]

207-4 in Fedora, but, it's Lennart's home.  I'll have to look and see if 207 is in experimental, and, if so, what state it's in.
