The complexity seen in #766462 is because gdm3's upstream-supplied systemd service is doing unusual things (disabling the systemd unit that would normally stop plymouth, so that it can handle that internally), which causes bad side-effects if other DMs do not participate in the shared management of the display-manager.service symlink. As far as systemd is concerned, if the display-manager.service symlink points to gdm3, it's enabled, even if its ExecStartPre is just going to bail out. > Is there > another _simple_ window manager whose postinst and service files I can > use as a template? lightdm seems to be both correct and fairly simple (in this respect), with a simple systemd service file supplied by Debian/Ubuntu rather than a more complex one from its upstream: see <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733220>, specifically messages 25 and 30. If your DM (sorry, I've lost track of which one this is!) doesn't take a D-Bus name on the system bus, then you will need to use Type=forking or Type=simple rather than BusName. See systemd.service(5) for full details, but the short version is that Type=forking is for services that use daemon(3) or similar, and Type=simple means "there is no way to tell that this service is ready, systemd should just assume that it is". Otherwise, lightdm's systemd hookup should be pretty similar to yours. S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
