Linux does, :-) I don't need on this laptop, but I have Arch also on a USB disk, and for that one, at times linux doesn't find root, so I found it just needed to wait for it to become available... I don't see any issues in there that'd cause your systemd issues. Did you try reinstalling systemd? No I haven't. Though I wouldn't suppose such re-install (if no new version implied) would help. I'll upgrade Arch to see. The other option is to tried the systemd patches, or the patched systemd offered by Christian. I haven't done that either... For what it's worth I've been having these same issues. systemd-logind fails to start with "connection timed out" and then everything is useless until the machine is reset. On most of my machines it happens in maybe 1 out of every 10 boots, but on one of my machines it's *every* boot. I can't figure out what's causing it, even with systemd.log_level=debug. I'm noticing that right before the systemd-logind timeout messages it tries to start "dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation" -- it seems like this should have happened much earlier though, when dbus.socket started. Or am I misunderstanding the relationship between dbus.socket and dbus.service? - Steven I made some research some time ago and I found this: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=13790add4bf64 which seems that is the commit that make a regression in journald. That causes boot failures due to logind. This Debian bug report has more information: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=778970 So applying this patch in systemd package should avoid the bug: http://hastebin.com/idaquqarud.coffee Just add to prepare() in the PKGBUILD. Something like this: http://hastebin.com/roqabepilo.vhdl I've been running this patched version for a few months and it works fine. Joan Figueras

This package is available in testing from October 20, 2014 and in extra from October 31, 2014. With CUPS installed, you can now start org.cups.cupsd.service and optionally, cups-browsed.service using systemd. Enable them as required. Joan Figueras

Re: [arch-general] new pc; keep arch installation?

I would like to keep my current arch installation, and hope to prevent the need to do a full reinstall. I like the software I have, and I like the configuration I have... Could I just put my old harddisk (which is relatively new and still OK, I have SMART enabled) in the new pc and reboot? Both are amd 64 bit cpu's, the old one one of the first athlon 64's, the new one a Phenom II X6 1035T (and my current arch linux install is 64bit) Of course stuff like chipset, network chip, video etc. are all different. For video that would be no problem, I could install other (current = nvidia, new pc = ati) drivers from the text console. However, I'd like basic stuff and network to work :-) Could anyone give me an idea about the chance of luck for such an operation? Tips, hints? Or would you just advise a clean install and install and reconfigure all software again? Regards, Vincent Schut. Yes you can. Connect the hd but boot with a livecd (like Archiso), then mount proc, sys and dev and make a chroot on your partition (for example into /mnt/hd), something like this: mkdir /mnt/hd cd /mnt/hd mount -t proc proc proc/ mount -t sysfs sys sys/ mount -o bind /dev dev/ chroot /mnt/hd Then reinstall kernel26 package or regenerate mkinitcpio image ;) Make sure in /etc/rc.conf have the correct modules and in /etc/fstab all entries are correct.
