I was pointed out that installing sysv* (don't know exactly which one) replaces systemd as init process. I have installed ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.9 all System-V-like runlevel change mechanism ii sysvinit-core 2.88dsf-59.9 amd64 System-V-like init utilities ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-59.9 amd64 System-V-like utilities systemd is still there, but it is not the init process and all works just fine. ii dbus-user-session 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 all simple interprocess messaging system (systemd --user integration) ii libpam-systemd:amd64 232-25+deb9u3 amd64 system and service manager - PAM module ii libsystemd0:amd64 232-25+deb9u3 amd64 systemd utility library ii libsystemd0:i386 232-25+deb9u3 i386 systemd utility library ii systemd 232-25+deb9u3 amd64 system and service manager ii systemd-shim 10-3 amd64 shim for systemd I am pretty happy with this setup. regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
