In order to keep the NFS mount, instead of waiting for the revised version of systemd you can apply the patch as described in the bug report.

Simple way:
As root, edit the file
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs. (first copy it to somewhere safe, just in case)
The first 2 lines are probably:
Quote:
# Also mounts SMB filesystems now, so the name of
# this script is getting increasingly inaccurate.
After these paste in the following:
Code:
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] ; then       
 systemctl status network.target > /dev/null || exit 0
 fi
The next 2 lines should be:

Quote:
PATH=/sbin:/bin . /lib/init/vars.sh
If you don't feel easy about doing this, DON'T! Wait for the fix which I doubt will be long in coming.

Good Luck.

I just went with the flow!

Xode,

As I remarked earlier, your suggestion makes sense. However I simply do not have the time to spare to do things that way - yes arguably I could actually save time but....

(Ever since I retired I seem to have LESS free time than when I was working! At least I'm not bored. Computers, woodwork, grandson, daughters........)

Yeah, and the dependency of GNOME on systemd leads me to believe it will at some point be the init system of choice.

Hey, the guy is having trouble with systemd, I offered him an alternative.

If something is broken replacing it with something that works is a valid way to solve the problem

Um, not exactly. What bothered me was your sarcasm and how you came across as wanting to "rub the salt in the wound" as in...

All perfectly good alternatives to distros infected with the systemd bloatware.

As to fixing your problem, I haven't a clue, I am using an actually sensible distro with a legit init system.

No. If someone has trouble with a Debian system "Use Slackware!" is not a valid answer, it merely shows us that you don't have a clue about the topic at hand and want to incite a flamewar, which by the way is against the LQ Rules.

The previous version - 0.105-4 - did not depend on systemd libs. The new version in unstable - 0.105-5 - depends on libpam-systemd and libsystemd-login0, which in turn drag in systemd which results in the package manager wanting to remove sysvinit-core

Someone else thought it was a problem...

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=747105

hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 ports don't have the problem.

So it would seem that a few architectures in unstable, i386 and amd64 included, are already well on the way to being systemd only?
