Transition from rc.conf to systemd

[pepedog]

I feel smug.
Test by finishing off by setting up as per wiki, then rename of rc.conf and reboot
If it fails, all you have to do is rename rc.conf back
If it suceeds remove initscripts

This is not for people running 2.6 kernels, ie Pogoplug Pro/Video/V3/B0x

Hi,

For info, 'systemctl list-units' is replying back "correctly" (one failure but I should disable it I think):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
...
crond.service loaded failed failed LEGACY unit for "crond" rc script
cronie.service loaded active running Periodic Command Scheduler
...
network.service loaded active exited LEGACY unit for "network" rc script
...
sshd.service loaded active running OpenSSH Daemon
...
76 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
')

As per the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')1.Install systemd and append the following to your kernel line: init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
2. Once completed you may enable any desired services via the use of systemctl enable <service_name> (this roughly equates to what you included in the DAEMONS array, with different names.).
3. Reboot your system and verify that systemd is currently active by using the following command: $ cat /proc/1/comm. This should return the string systemd.
4. Proceed to remove initscripts and sysvinit from your system and install systemd-sysvcompat.
5. Optionally, remove the init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd parameter as it is no longer needed. systemd-sysvcompat provides the default init.

Be sure to systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0.service before you reboot or you will be stuck with an unaccessible goflex.

Hi,

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@goflex etc]# pacman -R initscripts
checking dependencies...

Targets (1): initscripts-2012.10.1-1

Total Removed Size: 0.21 MiB

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] y
(1/1) removing initscripts [###########################################################################] 100%

All done and everything working after reboot


Thanks very much,

To reply moonman, I enabled all thos services:

cronie.service
dhcpcd@eth0.service
sshd.service
syslog-ng.service

There may also be a getty@ttyS0 to add to that.

[jcha93]

I got this by default:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
getty@tty1.service loaded active running Getty on tty1
serial-getty@ttyS0.service loaded active running Serial Getty on ttyS0
getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts
')

As everything sounds OK, I hope it's correct

[WarheadsSE]

Looks good

Thanks

Cronie is the service, not crond
