Say you use kdm, which doesn't ship a native service file yet and doesn't yet support the new scheme, you could try a different approach: Add systemd.mask=kdm.service to the kernel command line This will runtime mask the service and prohibit it's start. Btw, when you boot with systemd.unit=multi-user.target, what is the output of systemctl status graphical.target multi-user.target My gut feeling is, that it's actually a bug in the actual display manager and should be re-assigned accordingly. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
