Hi,
..I'm overlooking something silly stupid, my last Debian Sid box didn't wanna boot sysv anymore, possibly because I held systemd firmly at version 228-6 and booted it up from sysv, enough is enough, right? ;o) ..the last coupla days the thing would only boot sysv in runlevel 1, everything else runlevels S, 2-5 and even "systemd recovery", fails. ..so I did a Devuan conversion. Like most Debian users, I rarely install boxes, this Sid->Ceres laptop I istalled back in 2007, in the good old days when sysv did its thing slow enough to let me see and learn a wee bit of WTF it did on boot-up. ..some Statoil etc astro turfers decided I was important enough to keep busy in post-Groklaw litigation, so I missed the finer systemd novelty and showdown, it didn't mess up too badly, I made my deadlines, I had wire when netmanager killed wifi, and pulseaudio was merely an harmless 8 month annoyance. ..now having thrown out all the systemd crud I see mentioned here at DNG, I'm still left with runlevel 1, the damned thin will only accept root's passwd on the console, I can start and run ssh and X etc all day, and it works all nice except I have my password rejected once I try a login. ..exactly how is a Devuan boot supposed to work these days? And what systemd crud could could my logins? And what logs do I check these days? ..last time I had this laptop this bogged down, I simply wiped /etc/rc2.d/ clean and made it lean, does anyone have a lean Devuan machine so I can see /etc/rcS.d/ and /etc/rc2.d/ listings? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
