I run a stable system using gnome3 and hence systemd, specifically systemd-236-r5. My bootloader is grub2. I do *not* have an EFI platform and do *not* have an initramfs. I do *not* have a separate /usr filesystem.
The news item says that, in preparation for the 237 release and the likely removal of the symlinks /usr/lib/systemd/systemd and /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown we should update our boot config to reference init=/lib/systemd/system 1. Updating the boot config to reference init=/lib/systemd/system seems to mean a 1-line change in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/lib/systemd/systemd" followed by the usual grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Is that it? 2. What should I be doing to prepare for the removal of the /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown symlink? 3. "After upgrading, please run systemctl daemon-reexec". Which upgrade is being referred to? Is it the upgrade to the 237 release, with the likely removal of the two symlinks. Thanks in advance, allan
