Description Dave Hodgins 2012-04-07 02:43:33 CEST

The /lib/systemd/systemd in the live cd pre-release has
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 843568 Apr  1 17:56 systemd*

Current cauldron has
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 843572 Apr  6 12:46 systemd*

The version in the live cd doesn't spawn gettys on tty2, etc.

In my VirtualBox test on i586, the x server is crashing, but
without any gettys, I can't log in to get more information.

I guess draklive use a freeze mirror

Yep, it will be resynced again for next build after some other needed fixes.

Screenshot showing getty error on livecd trying to start in run level 3

Looks like the problem may be that packages needed for the getty service are
not included in the livecd.

In VirtualBox, the x server is still failing, but there are no getty
terminals, so I can't get more info.

If I add 3 to the kernel options, there's a message, as shown in the
attachment, that a dependency of the getty service failed, although
that may be due to the udev timeout problems I usually get under
virtualbox.

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-15 03:05:59 CEST

I can boot both the gnome and kde live cds under virtualbox now with
udev.settle-timeout=180 divider=10
added to the kernel options.  There are a lot of problems with
timeouts still, for things like networkmanager, dhclient etc.,
but those can be worked around.

Anyone running virtualbox on a old system like mine would be
more likely to choose a lightweight desktop like lxde, so I
won't be doing further testing of gnome/kde under virtualbox.
