[SOLVED] problem after installing systemd-sysvcompat

[xenoxaos]

Hello everybody, I'm trying to make my Arch Linux ARM work correctly on odroid-x but apparently I do something wrong.
Let me explain myself. I tried to make autologin service and enable it but systemctl returned an error "Failed to get D-Bus connection". I followed the instruction provided on this forum and installed systemd-sysvcompat. After rebooting systemctl was working just fine but my SD card mounted in read only mode, that of course makes quite unusable. Then I rewrote Arch image on SD card and tried installing systemd-sysvcompat again and as expected I ended up with the same problem. I'm not sure what to do because I haven't seen anybody else who had the same problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: odroidx-latest(2012.11) image has been updated to systemd.

[xenoxaos]

Are you using the most recent version of the rootfs? The newest one has systemd already set up and running.

[LeeBrown]

Well, I guess so. I downloaded ArchLinuxARM-odroidx-latest.img provided by this site and ran pacman -Suuy afterwards.

[xenoxaos]

I will try a clean install tonight. Can you also run pacman -Q systemd-sysvcompat?

[LeeBrown]

I just restored my SD card so I'd rather not install it again. It takes me 2 hours to write it.

[xenoxaos]

pacman -Q queries installed packages....it won't install it if its not installed already.

[LeeBrown]

Yes, I know. I've already wrote my backup image to my SD so the is no systemd-sysvcompat installed.

Here is the output of "pacman -Q"

systemd-sysvcompat is not installed. It would have said to remove sysvinit (y/N)
Only remove initscripts is after reboot that there are no "can't connect to dbus" messages
If it boots initscripts and you remove it, shutting down is a problem, but if systemd-sysvcompat is installed and after reboot it should be ok to remove. There was a period where this was impossible without init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd, hope it hasn't gone back to this

I'll look into it tonight. My Odroid-X is still in the box from CPOSC.
