Q: systemd is restarting demons?

2017-07-20 Thread Hans
Hello, I am wondering, if it is normal, that systemd is restarting a service, which I as root did stop. In may case it is laptools-mode. See the output of syslog: Jul 20 12:16:47 localhost laptop-mode: enabled, not active I know, I can force systemd, not to start demons at boot, but this b

Random hanging with stretch when laptop is connected to AC
