Package: systemd Version: 215-7 Severity: important When gdm and kdm are installed, and kdm selected as default display manager, the system cannot boot correctly. Only sometimes kdm manages to launch. getty fails to launch as well, I think because it is waiting for plymouth-wait-quit that never ends:
● getty@tty1.service - Getty on tty1 Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:agetty(8) man:systemd-getty-generator(8) http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html ● plymouth-quit-wait.service - Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-quit-wait.service; static) Active: activating (start) since Fri 2014-12-05 16:25:47 CLST; 1min 14s ago Main PID: 749 (plymouth) CGroup: /system.slice/plymouth-quit-wait.service └─749 /bin/plymouth --wait Downgrading the sysv or insserv generators back to 215-7 did not work, so perhaps the problem is elsewhere. Downgrading systemd and libsystemd0 does not fix the issue either. Other information that may be relevant: When installing gdm3, the following message is displayed: Setting up gdm3 (3.14.1-3) ... WARNING: /lib/systemd/system/kdm.service is the selected default display manager but does not exist Job for gdm.service failed. See 'systemctl status gdm.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action "reload" failed. Masking gdm3 resulted in a booting system. This is strange because failure to boot with gdm3 masked is what prompted me to unmask the service and discover this problem :/ Any other information I can provide, please let me know -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-58 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1 ii libblkid1 2.25.2-3 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libcap2 1:2.24-6 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-6 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.6-3 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4+b1 ii libkmod2 18-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-7 ii mount 2.25.2-3 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-58 ii udev 215-7 ii util-linux 2.25.2-3 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.8.12-1 ii libpam-systemd 215-7 Versions of packages systemd suggests: pn systemd-ui <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
