One other thing, I sense that the key repeat is not as fast as it was before I installed systemd-sysv. It seems strange that an init system should mess with the keyboard settings. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? JFTR. I've already had to do a dpkg-reconfigure console-setup to fix the console font, and even then a reboot was required. I tested with 'init=/bin/systemd' first just to check, it started out strange then came right. It was when I went the whole hog and installed systemd-sysv that it needed a kick in the pants. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
