[SOLVED] display-manager.service

How can I find out what is trying to load this service?

I see this in my dmesg and while I don't think it's a problem, I'm just trying to make my server as robust/bug/error free as possible.

[    4.058436] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.

Not an actual server, but an old quad core PC that has no onboard, and no video card. It's just a spare box used like a server.

Re: [SOLVED] display-manager.service

You have graphical.target set as the default target. Switch multi-user.target (systemctl enable multi-user.target).

Re: [SOLVED] display-manager.service

Thanks.

So when it installed systemd over the top of my initscripts install, it decided to set my default target to graphical, ignoring the inittab that has always been set to 3. Learnt something new today, thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] display-manager.service

No - when you installed systemd you failed to specify your required default target.

Re: [SOLVED] display-manager.service

Forgive the ignorance, but when doing a 'pacman -S systemd' or a 'pacman -Syu', how would I specify the default target?

Re: [SOLVED] display-manager.service

Naijeru, there is documentation for a purpose. In this case: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _boot_into

Please don't be a help vampire. And read our forum etiquette.
