So the unit file should be fine. that is really odd ... AFAIK they should not conflict with each other at all ... i've no idea whats happening there. the only real difference i see between your setup and min is the use of: display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service ... whereas i simply put gdm in graphical.target.wants: graphical.target.wants/gdm.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service ... i don't think that's really an issue tho. systemd.special seems to suggest that this special unit is mainly for LSB compatibility, but it's not clear. -- C Anthony
