[SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

Good Afternoon Fellow Archers,

pacman -Syu has installed systemd 231. However on boot, it still tells me it is version 230.

The Arch Wiki states nothing about anything special that has to be done between versions.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

SystemD is part of your initial RAM file-system.  When that boots it hands itself over to the system version of SystemD.  To update the SystemD there, do:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

Where "linux" is the kernel you're using.  Most of the time it doesn't make any difference what version of SystemD is in your initramfs, but there have been rare cases where it has caused issues.

Hello headkase,

Thank you for the reply. I updated both my linux and linux-ck initcpio's, and the initial boot message now matches the installed version.

Thank You!

Re: [SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

Pedantry post incoming...

It is systemd:

Yes, it is written systemd, not system D or System D, or even SystemD. And it isn't system d either. Why? Because it's a system daemon, and under Unix/Linux those are in lower case, and get suffixed with a lower case d. And since systemd manages the system, it's called systemd. It's that simple. But then again, if all that appears too simple to you, call it (but never spell it!) System Five Hundred since D is the roman numeral for 500 (this also clarifies the relation to System V, right?). The only situation where we find it OK to use an uppercase letter in the name (but don't like it either) is if you start a sentence with systemd. On high holidays you may also spell it sÿstëmd.

Re: [SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

This might be a good pacman hook so that you don't have to manually remember this everytime systemd is updated:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = systemd

[Action]
Description = Generating initramfs...
Depends = linux
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux

Put it in a new file in "/usr/share/libalpm/hooks"; make sure filename has .hook suffix.  See the alpm-hooks manpage.

Or perhaps `mkinitcpio -P` for all the people who use a different kernel. wink

Hello,
Couldn't be better to place it in /etc/pacman.d/hooks/ directory ?

Both locations will work. /usr/share/libalpm/hooks is the location where packages install hook files. /etc/pacman.d/hooks is reserved for user-created hook files.

Re: [SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

The OP's question is raised after every systemd upgrade.

Could that hook  be mentioned in the relevant wiki by a qualified contributor?

Do you set the Depends = to the custom linux kernel or just leave it as is in rdeckard's hook?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] SystemD 230 vs 231

All you need is mkinitcpio. The "-P, --allpresets" switch will simply iterate over all available /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ presets.
It doesn't care whether they are installed by a package or whether expected packages are missing, it simply looks for mkinitcpio preset configurations and runs them all.

The purpose of "Depends" in a pacman hook is for making sure hooks gracefully know when they are incapable of being run due to missing packages, typically the package that provides the binary being run. Of course if you decide for unknown reasons to hardcode the kernel (any kernel) into your mkinitcpio call then you will have to make sure your hardcoded kernel preset is available... but the whole point of my post is that you shouldn't be hardcoding the kernel. Just do them all.
