Bug#755359: [kdm] systemd seem to fail to start display-manager.service
Il 10/01/2015 02:18, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz ha scritto: that this symlink is actually always created by the postinst script of the display manager (on Debian, Fedora uses the [Install] section of the .service file for that by setting an alias to display-manager.service) and looking at the source code of the kdm Debian package, this particular part is actually missing in the kdm package while it is present in the lightdm package. So it's actually a bit surprising that the link was installed on my test system. [...] It actually depends on which package you reconfigure. So, if you run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" (provided that lightdm is installed) and choose "kdm as your default DM, it should work. However, if you do that with "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" and choose "kdm" or any other DM for that matter, it shouldn't work. With my test I deduced that the soft-link is created only if another display-manager is configured, is choosed kdm as default and a kdm.service exists in the right path However, just to be sure I'm asking again: When you do a fresh installation and don't use a service file for kdm, kdm works and "systemctl status kdm.service" shows that it's running however you get the warning in the journal about the display-manager service, right? yes, right. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Good. Then I just need to verify that doing a clean installation with just kdm and then just adding the service file won't work (which is what I am expecting). In any case, I will hopefully provide an updated kdm package in the following week that you can try at your desire. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
