[Answered] Clarification on systemd and dist-upgrade

[dlalias2k1]

So I got a snazzy new system and was planning on using it as my media server running siduction.
Because it's a newer machine and uses EFI/GPT stuff to boot I thought I would try it out.
I followed some of the instructions found here and I eventually got a bootable system.


However some things aren't operating as expected (X2go which may just be KDE 4.10) and I can't seem to get internet access when i go to init 3 to do a apt-get dist-upgrade.


I've also noticed, that /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages don't exist unless there's some changes on that I'm unaware of, So I was wondering, It my installation just jacked? Did I do something wrong, or is this just how the new stuff works?

siduction uses systemd, so we have jornal and no syslog anymore. The release notes inform you about the use of journal.
Not having internet in init 3 is an unresolved bug. As a workaround you can use apt-get diat-upgrade -d in init 5 and then just do the actual dist-upgrade in init 3.

Thanks for the information Devil, Sorry for missing it.. I skimmed over systemd cause I made bad assumptions that it was already in the mix. Thanks for the apt-get dist-upgrade information.

I thought this was covered in a previous thread. I do
Logout user and Ctrl-Alt-F1
Login root
systemctl stop lightdm
dist-upgrade
Is this OK? Maybe a network-manager problem as I have removed network-manager and just use Ceni?

I would add doing an apt-get update after logging in as root.

Logout user and Ctrl-Alt-F1
Login root
apt-get update
systemctl stop lightdm
apt-get dist-upgrade

If you follow that, you shouldn't have network problems.

Yes I do that of course, but after stopping lightdm. Been working fine for me for months.
I meant that maybe is the

problem related to network-manager? I have removed n-m and have internet in RL3 (or whatever it's called in systemd).
