No idea where that question should be put ...
I know where it shouldn't be put: in the System Administration sub forum ... even if it was still open, as that answer would come from a simple `pacman -Qo ...` and `ls -l ...`
]]>And am left wondering where to post my question of who is setting the default systemd target to graphical.target even on systems where no graphical software is installed.
No idea where that question should be put, but i do have an answer :
/usr/lib/systemd/system/default.target is a symlink to graphical.target in AL systemd pacakge .
I do have the impression that's an upstream decision.
Use your best judgment as to where to post. Or not. If a moderator disagrees, we will move it.
Edit: It is astounding how often Jason and I synchronously post equivalent things.
]]>Can the decision to close this board be re-examined? Maybe rename the board to something like Advanced System Administration to alert users this is not for routine questions?
Unfortunately, the majority of people posting there didn't bother to read the board descriptions, stickies, wiki, man pages or anything else that would resemble documentation.
Your question can go in Apps and DEs, as it is about an application in the Arch repos (systemd).
]]>Unless I'm asking a question about my own Arch desktop, I've generally stopped using the BBS for this reason. If I run into an issue I either email the package maintainer directly, sign up on the upstream mailing list, or just try to figure it out on my own. This is a shame, because the results of my (and likely hundreds of other Arch admins) are not being shared in a public forum.
I do update the relevant Wiki pages once I've found an answer, when applicable -- but am pretty sure most people are not doing this, based on the errors I frequently find in the Wiki. But having the answers posted to the forum makes it more likely that someone will update the Wiki. Shutting down targeted avenues of communication surely does more harm than good.
