Sequence of starting services

[mylo]

Hi all,

since introduction of systemd my browser autostarts during start-up before the internet connection is established.
So I always have to load my standard tabs manually after.

1) Can I influence this?

2)  I have no lvm or modem running: Do I need these services to run:
lvm2-monitor.service?
ModemManager.service?

[absolut]

regarding 2:
check the installed packages regarding lvm and modem manager, purge if not needed (that will also kick out the services). same holds for ntp, which has been replaced by systemd-networkd internal service (this info i got in IRC some days ago from agaida)

regarding 1:
i wonder why this is... the network should be up faster than the desktop environment is loaded. how have you yours configured? is this a desktop with wired network only?

[melmarker]

there are some other thing one could fix:
* acpid and acpid-support should be deleted, is now systemd
* rsyslog is superseeded by journald - so if one don't use journald with rsyslog, purge it
* kexec-tools are superseeded by systemd and should be purged

[mylo]

Thanks guys, have purged all except lvm (do not find the packs name).

absolut, yes desktop wired only

[absolut]

hi mylo,

regarding lvm:

Code Select Expand

$ apt-file search lvm2-monitor.service
lvm2: /lib/systemd/system/lvm2-monitor.service

so, its the lvm2 package that needs to be kicked. verify with dpkg -l | grep lvm


can you run the analyze blame again and see whether all is fine?
how is your network connection being created?
