you are not using systemd ?

Comment 2 Herbert Poetzl 2012-01-29 18:13:17 CET

AFAIK no, it didn't get enabled when I upgraded from Mageia 1

# pidof systemd  
# systemctl 
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.

how can I tell for sure?

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-01-30 01:29:11 CET

seems no :) 

As we want to support both initscripts & systemd, added the committers of the first one

I presume this is only under sysvinit right? i.e. it works find under the default systemd?

Comment 7 Herbert Poetzl 2012-05-07 15:17:14 CEST

correct

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

sysvinit is being removed from cauldron, closing as wontfix

Well it is still a bug in MGA2, but to be perfectly honest, I'm unlikely to get around to fixing it considering it's not the default init system and it's not all that critical for most users. Not ideal, so I'd be happy to help anyone who does want to fix it.

You're right, but since nobody complained about having this bug in Mageia 2, and because this bug was only filed against cauldron, I thought we might as well close it.

@ Anyone who thinks this bug should stay open:

Feel free to reopen it and change version to "2"
