[EN] Automatic logout when changing the target

[der_bud]

... if you've already switched to multi-user.target and do again ...

horo, that's how powerusers debug their stuff: accidentally repeat the last command from history ...   

[horo]

Please don't lapidate me even if I say "init 3"...
I put on my asbestos suit* and did another test:

Code: [Select]

init 3 also drops you to the login each time - even when you're already in "level 3" or "multi-user.target", so I see it as a feature 'til someone from the team contradicts.

Ciao, Martin

* I'm lucky, no other harm occured, neither the hell froze nor little kittens were killed - phew!

Current state: Even with the new version of systemd 228-2 has the error not changed.

Ihr könnt hier noch ne Weile Handauflegen spielen - wie wäre es, wenn man einfach mal in oftc #debian-systemd fragt und/oder nen Bug malt?

... und/oder nen Bug malt?

... EDIT: opened bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805442

Edit: question to all posters  here: does anybody have a clue with wich version of systemd it worked (or since when exactly it does not)? That would be useful info for the bug report.

It looks like the developers have a clue what could have changed and are working on it, from the bug report:

I looked into this a bit further.
Afaics, this is a regression that was introduced in v227 by commit
8c8da0e. Martin reverted that commit in 227-2, so this version is not
affected. In 227-3, that revert was replaced by upstream commit 4178002.
But that commit addressed some of the issues that were introduced by
8c8da0e.

I've forwarded this upstream and marked the bug accordingly.
