Title: Q: did siduction actively disable "init 3"?
Post by: michaa7 on 2014/12/06, 18:23:18
I'm asking because "init 3" does not work anymore with my system (sysvinit-core installed)?

It seems siduction has altered the config for the runlevels. kdm, which I use instead of lightdm is now configured for RL 2-5 whereas it used to be configured for RL5 only. But what really is being in the way is sidu-base. I needed to deconfigure it entirely to get init to work agian. There may be other ways to configure it, but this seems the easiest way.

Init 3 works with lightdm.
It's a systemd issue kdm related.
KDM doesn't have until now systemd support and kdm defaults for debian are RL 2-5.
So siduction hasn't altered kdm config runlevels.

Thanks for this exhaustive info. You're aware I don't use systemd?

Do you have any insight what exactly sidu-base does? Because I didn't get init to work until I disabled it for RL 2-5.

sidu-base is the base package for sidu-manual, sidu-installer - delete it, if you don't use it.
Regarding kdm and sysvinit: you are on your own, we don't support it anymore.

I am not even sure if kde/kde-devs supports kdm anymore

Clarification: we don't support kdm and sysvinit - that doesn't mean that one have to remove sysvinit-utils :)
