Yes, this is okay. The '--all' switch makes a lot of units appear that you need not be concerned about unless you're debugging a systemd unit configuration file. They are listed because another service configured them as an ordering dependency, which means it wants to start before or after one of the above services start, if it exists. It does not actually require them to be present. Incidentally, 'error' means that systemd had a problem loading or parsing a unit file. 'failed' indicates that it tried to start a service, but the service itself has a problem. So, for normal troubleshooting, this command is probably more useful: $ systemctl list-units | grep failed > > Alexander > > -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
