Sorry systemd-sysv.
systemd-sysv was installed.
Sure you have purged sysvinit? After that systemd is installed.
I think sysvinit must be installed.
When purge sysvinit you will get a message "Yes do as I say".
No, I have no message like "Yes do as I say".
I have verified the situation on an old siduction-installation with D-U from 11.09.2014 with gnome-shell-Version 3.12.2-3. 'gdm3' was not installed, but after Installation of 'gdm3' or with 'kdm' I logged in to GNOME 3 well.
In my newest Installation after:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade -f
I have the gnome-shell-Version 3.14.0-1 and gdm3 Version 3.13.92-1.
With sysvinit and without sysvinit the Display-Manager 'gdm3' do not work. I have a black Screen.
I think my problem is come up with the last D-U (dist-upgrade -f) with newest gnome-shell and gdm3.
with regards
