Package: systemd Version: 44-11 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, ***I'm marking this as grave because it causes some fairly serious usability issues for me, if you feel this status is incorrect please feel free to change it.*** As you might know, much of GNOME 3.8 has landed in Experimental recently, certainly enough to run a GNOME 3.8 environment at least. GNOME 3.8, or, more specifically, gnome-settings-daemon 3.8, depends on systemd for a number of things, most notably the power manager plugin (requires systemd-logind to be running), leaving me without a power status indicator in GNOME Shell when using sysvinit. As I am operating on a laptop, having this indicator is most definitely desired, so I decided to switch my init system to systemd. This is where things go wrong. Firstly, after the initial boot phase is complete, when the desktop manager (GDM) is supposed to start, it doesn't. Xorg appears to start fine, and I get the busy cursor for a short while as the system seems to be loading, then the cursor changes to the normal pointer and nothing further happens. So I drop to a tty, and log in to my personal account. That's when I get these two messages: -su: /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/2866/tasks: No such file or directory -su: /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/2866/notify_on_release: No such file or directory Already this does not bode well for me. Next, I stop GDM, kill Xorg (for some reason it doesn't quit when GDM is stopped), and start an X session. It takes a few moments, but eventually everything loads and I'm in GNOME Shell. This is when I discover that things aren't working as I would expect them to. The entire environment is very laggy, cursor movements stutter, my audio doesn't work (PulseAudio shows my audio as Dummy Output), the network status indicator doesn't show my network connection status or show a list of nearby networks (or even the Network Settings menu option, nothing at all pops up) when clicked on, and when checking the Graphics information in the Details applet of GNOME Control Center, I see that it's using Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x209) when it should be using my Intel integrated graphics (this probably accounts for the lag and stutters). I do get my power status indicator back, however, my graphical user session basically just doesn't work properly. So I close the session and logout, log in as root, and start an X session. Everything works as I would expect. The environment operates smoothly, I have sound, my graphics adapter is detected properly (Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset), I have my power status indicator, the network status icon reflects my connected status and shows the nearby networks. It all works! So now I'm wondering... Maybe it's a problem with my personal user account? I create a brand new user account, log in as that user (and get two similar messages as when I logged into my personal account), and start an X session. It suffers the same problems as my personal user account. Now I have no idea what's going on, so I decide to file this bug report and hopefully get some ideas of what to do to determine what's going wrong and why, and possibly how to fix it all. All this, because I wanted my power status indicator back, because it doesn't show up when using sysvinit. Everything else seems to work just fine, but that indicator is missing and it bothered me that much. (I will note that I discovered that starting systemd-logind manually when using sysvinit, then killing and restarting gnome-settings-daemon does give me back the power status indicator without any other complications, however, this is not an ideal solution.) You'll have to forgive me for this lengthy report. I really wasn't sure how else to get everything across accurately. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers experimental APT policy: (650, 'experimental'), (650, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41 ii libacl1 2.2.51-8 ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.17-0experimental2 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.4.3-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libkmod2 9-2 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-9 ii libselinux1 2.1.12-1 ii libsystemd-daemon0 44-11 ii libsystemd-id128-0 44-11 ii libsystemd-journal0 44-11 ii libsystemd-login0 44-11 ii libudev0 175-7.1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii udev 175-7.1 ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.3 Versions of packages systemd recommends: pn libpam-systemd <none> Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii python 2.7.3-13 ii python-cairo 1.8.8-1+b2 ii python-dbus 1.1.1-1 ii systemd-gui 44-11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
