This is actually an issue due to kdm not shipping a native .service file yet and not setting up the /etc/systemd/systemd/display-manager.service symlink We added a workaround to systemd by masking the non-default display manager. So a gdm.service start should actually not be attempted. What's the output of ls -la /run/systemd/generator.early/display-manager.service ? You should have a journal entry like this: Jun 08 14:27:27 pluto systemd-default-display-manager-generator[13256]: /lib/systemd/system/kdm.service is not a systemd unit, we disable the systemd enabled display manager Is that actually still an issue? > Oct 30 09:19:36 Is your clock off or is that from an earlier systemd version? Which systemd version do you have installed? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
