[blfs-support] Systemd conversion now goes wrong

[Cliff McDiarmid]

Hi

Some weeks ago I converted a LFS7.5 system to use systemd.   I had advice from the forum and things went well, had to do upower and polkit reinstalls, but the system has been running well. 

So I decided tonight to complete the switch and uninstall SysVinit, following the hint from Chris Wagner 2012-10-03.

 

This is the extract:

 

After systemd is running well, SysVinit can be removed . Check, that no
more LSB scripts are used by systemd using the following command:

    systemctl | grep LSB

Remove the files belonging to SysVinit:

    rm -v /usr/bin/{last,lastb,mesg,utmpdump}
    rm -v /usr/include/initreq.h /etc/inittab /bin/pidof
    rm -v /usr/share/man/man1/{last.1*,lastb.1*,mesg.1*,utmpdump.1*}
    rm -v /usr/share/man/man5/{initscript.5*,inittab.5*}
    rm -v /usr/share/man/man8/{bootlogd.8*,fstab-decode.8*}
    rm -v /usr/share/man/man8/{fstab-decode.8*,init.8*}
    rm -v /usr/share/man/man8/{killall5.8*,pidof.8*,sulogin.8*}
    rm -v /sbin/{bootlogd,fstab-decode,halt,init,killall5,poweroff}
    rm -v /sbin/{reboot,runlevel,shutdown,sulogin,telinit}  
        
Replace sysvinit commands with links to systemd:

    ln -sv /usr/lib/systemd/systemd /sbin/init
    for tool in runlevel reboot shutdown poweroff halt telinit; do
        ln -svf '/usr/bin/systemctl' "/sbin/$tool"
    done
    
#### Uninstall LFS-Bootscripts

Now we can also move out the lfs-bootscripts and those services
installed with other programs:

    mkdir -pv /etc/rc.bak
    tar -czpvf "/etc/rc.bak/rc.d-backup.tar.gz" /etc/rc.d
    
    rm -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/*    
    for rcX in rc0 rc1 rc2 rc3 rc4 rc5 rc6 rcS; do
        rm -v /etc/rc.d/$rcX.d/*
    done

 

Removing /etc/mtab earlier would cause an error in /init.d/mountfs when
booting LFS via sysvinit. Now that we are not using the init scripts any
more, we can make this change:

    ln -svf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

 

Unfortunately when I boot now I get the following:

 

sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1):

Inappropriate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell

random:non-blocking pool is initialized
sh-4.2#

 

Any ideas how to get out of this one? I followed this method on another LFS and it worked.

 

thanks

 

Cliff
