Thank you for your help

Frankieboy

I just hate how systemd-journalctl cuts off lines even when piping to a file, could you use `systemd-journalctl -a` please?

Here it is:

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I don't see any errors there hmm
I have only just started using systemd, and already figured out that debugging the bootprocess with systemd can be really annoying.
I can't even see which target/service it is that is actually hanging for so long.
You could try disabling "everything" that's not actually required to boot (network, cron, syslog...), and reboot to make sure it's not related to anything else.
And have you made the .mount files for *all* partitions of the imsm raid you have configured in /etc/fstab?

I can't do much more than guess there, sorry hmm

Maybe someone else can help?

ssd dmraid has /boot, /, /home and swap, I created /boot and /home, it's interesting that  swap partition is not enabled, how can I write a service file to enable swap during boot? I have also a laptop with lvm, I'm using arch and systemd on it, and everything is working during boot (swap is enabled).

Thanx

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

man 5 systemd.swap big_smile

You can make a service file named something.swap and in the [Swap] section add What=/dev/...
Much like a .mount but without all the additional options like DirectoryMode or Where.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I did a reinstall of systemd on another machine and was a little confused by:

# systemctl enable acpid.service
Warning: unit files do not carry install information.

It's mentioned earlier in this thread, but not on the wiki page. Should it be reported as a 'bug' in systemd-arch-units, or would it be better to inform users about this scenario in the wiki (or both)?

Working as intended. Enable the socket, not the service.

Is acpid an exception to the rule in this regard? Since other services which use sockets do seem to have an [Install] section?

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

No, but for now it's somewhat irregular. acpid implements proper socket activation, so any requests to /run/acpid.socket will cause the daemon to start up. Notice that there's no Accept=yes, meaning that only the first request will cause a handoff from systemd to acpid (meaning only a single session is spawned, unlike sshd.socket).

Ideally, things like cups, rpcbind, mysql, etc (realistically, anything that listens on a socket) could follow this in the future.

The purpose of the [Install] in socket activated services, is to be able to enable stuff unconditionally rather than having it start on demand. This might make sense for services that are slow to start, and that you know will be eventually accessed and started on demand.

Whether or not this makes sense for acpid, I don't know. If you have a reason to do it, I see nothing wrong with it. On the other hand it is not something that all services SHOULD implement.

Anyone else having locale issues with systemd-43-3? Since the upgrade, my locale is not set and defaults to english. Downgrading to systemd-43-2 makes it work again. Any hints on how to debug this problem?

I have just noticed a problem with locale, but I don't know if it's systemd's fault. I got rid of initscripts, I have "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" in /etc/locale.conf, after boot I have proper locale in vc, but in KDE I get POSIX, and exporting proper locale doesn't really let me use UTF-8 characters in the konsole (they used to work). Downgrading systemd to 43-2 doesn't change anything.

Any news on this? I have the same problem with my Xfce session. Terminal does not accept any utf8 characters, even typing a German Umlaut (ä, ö, ü, ß & Co) just shows a question mark. Pane borders drawn by tmux are ugly and sometimes break the terminal when a single character is printed as two.
Would be great to have this sorted out...

@ eworm:
look at post #1224, page 49

this is probably material for the wiki though...

EDIT: ive added this info to the wiki under "Running DEs under systemd". Not sure about formatting and language. Could somebody please revise that section?

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

Even with locale exported manually/through /etc/profile and then set through pam_env, I still had broken characters in KDE, while in GNOME, on a different PC, I didn't have such problems and didn't have to put anything in /etc/environment or export the locale. My KDE problems fixed themselves at some point, though - I have no idea how.

I simply downloaded the PKGBUILD for initscripts and removed the dependency for sysvinit. That fixed it for me.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

As /etc/environment only allows simple "KEY=VAL" pairs and I did not want to have redundant config in /etc/{environment,locale.conf} I decided to add this to my pam configuration:

auth            required        pam_env.so              envfile=/etc/locale.conf

Not the "sane way", but it works.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

Today I switched to systemd (instant boot, hurray!), however it seems like my /etc/crypttab keeps getting ignored by it. I've already searched a solution within this thread, and it seems like some people managed to solve the crypttab-problem (by using keyfiles), however I have no idea how to accomplish this neutral

Do I just have to add a keyfile for the encrypted partition and then replace the password in the crypttab with the path to the keyfile? Or is there more voodoo needed to solve this? Eventually my system should just boot without me having to enter the password every time ...

Sadly, the /etc/crypttab formats in systemd and initscripts are not compatible.

Also, systemd does not ship with a manpage for crypttab, so that makes things more difficult. Luckily, systemd's format is shared (mostly) with most other distros. This is a rough overview:

name: as expected
device: as expceted
password: '-' or 'none' to ask for password on boot, otherwise absolute path to a file containing the password (could be a device node such as /dev/urandom).
options: noauto, cipher=,size=,hash=,tries=,readonly,verify,luks,plain,swap,tmp,timeout,none

For more details see e.g. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jau … tab.5.html. However, note that systemd does not support all the options that ubuntu does, only the ones I listed above.

Someone should put this in our wiki, or better yet a systemd manpage ;-)

Hm, systemd refuses to boot if I just put my password in a file and then put the file path in the crypttab hmm So, what's wrong here?

Dunno. Something... I would need more info.

My first guess would be to add or remove a trailing newline from the file you saved your password in. If you wait for the timeout (2 min?) and are able to somehow boot anyway (depending on which partition failed, this should be possible), then have a look at "systemd-journalctl" to see if you get any error messages from cryptsetup. If not, up the error logging (in /etc/systemd/system.conf) and try again.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

Problem: There is no timeout, systemd just asks me for the root password (for maintenance tasks). And even if I enter emergency mode, systemd-journalctl doesn't show me any errors ...

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I need help.

How do I switch agetty with qingy? Obviously, custom unit(s) need to be made, but what else needs to be done. The most common instuctions focus on graphical and (text) multiuser targets. Looking at the more complex setup of the getty files, I assume I can't just throw in a qingy service file and enable it like gdm, kdm, or slim in graphical.

I could have swarn I saw some mention of switching the loging for text mode in the past... This is what I get for not bookmarking. :'(
