Bug#755359: [kdm] systemd seem to fail to start display-manager.service
Control: severity -1 important Hi! On Sat, 19 Jul 2014 23:20:58 +0200 Francesco Muzio muzi...@gmail.com wrote: Package: kdm Version: 4:4.11.9-1 Severity: minor Dear maintainers, My machine (updated debian testing) has only KDM as display manager, it starts without problem after upgrading/trasition to systemd. But in journald log I see this message systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details. For jessie we ship a generator called systemd-default-display-manager-generator which is supposed to workaround some of the issues by not having all display managers in Debian provide a native .service and setup /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service. Since this is a Debian specific patch and an incomplete hack, we will get rid of that for stretch. Thus bumping the severity of this bug to important. I notice that sddm, the successor of kdm for plasma desktop, already supports the new scheme. You should consider copying the bits from there. Or if kdm is dead, maybe arrange for having it being transformed into a transitional package which pulls in sddm on upgrades.

Hmm, I haven't realized that the display manager's configuration file is touch by the init script. I think that's definitely going beyond to what an init script is supposed to do. I also noticed that the systemd service file you wrote contains an [Install] section but this section is not allowed in service files for display managers at the time being since their service files are installed through the debconf mechanism when configuring the default display manager. This is also the reason why you are having problems activating the service. My patch basically copies the behavior of the lightdm package which is already in the archives and works reasonably, so I wouldn't want to make this patch any more complicated at this point. OTOH, I was a bit surprised to see that you removed the ConsoleKit dependency. I wasn't even aware that kdm actually supports logind, does it? Maybe we can come up with a good patch if we merge both our patches into one that incorporates all important aspects discussed above. Adrian -- .''`.

Hmm, I haven't realized that the display manager's configuration file is touch by the init script. I think that's definitely going beyond to what an init script is supposed to do. Yeah, but I think the behaviour of the systemd unit should retain the established behaviour of the svsvinit script. I also noticed that the systemd service file you wrote contains an [Install] section but this section is not allowed in service files for display managers at the time being since their service files are installed through the debconf mechanism when configuring the default display manager. This is also the reason why you are having problems activating the service. Yeah, the logic to handle display managers appeared later, my patch is nearly nine months old by now and much has changed in the systemd Debian integration. OTOH, I was a bit surprised to see that you removed the ConsoleKit dependency. I wasn't even aware that kdm actually supports logind, does it? See the references in my original bug submission. Maybe we can come up with a good patch if we merge both our patches into one that incorporates all important aspects discussed above. I'd be in favour of adding the ExecStartPre of kdm-debian-setup-config (but I'm unsure whether people actually use this), but I won't be able to spend further time on this ATM.

Hi John, Thanks for working on this. I had previously also worked on a systemd unit last year but due to the lack of feedback from KDE maintainers I stopped working on it.

Bug#755359: [kdm] systemd seem to fail to start display-manager.service
On Sat, Jan 10, 2015 at 01:18:59AM +0100, Francesco Muzio wrote: how many display managers are installed on your systems? As I said, that was a test system and there was only KDM installed, nothing else. I have to poke around a bit more. However, it seems ... if I install slim a soft link /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service is created and it points to slim service that this symlink is actually always created by the postinst script of the display manager (on Debian, Fedora uses the [Install] section of the .service file for that by setting an alias to display-manager.service) and looking at the source code of the kdm Debian package, this particular part is actually missing in the kdm package while it is present in the lightdm package. So it's actually a bit surprising that the link was installed on my test system. if you run a dpkg-reconfigure kdm to change the default DM and choose gdm3/slim the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service link is updated automatically? Yes, this is actually the basic idea. And if you re-choose KDM as default /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service point again to kdm.service ? It actually depends on which package you reconfigure. So, if you run dpkg-reconfigure lightdm (provided that lightdm is installed) and choose kdm as your default DM, it should work. However, if you do that with dpkg-reconfigure kdm and choose kdm or any other DM for that matter, it shouldn't work. PS: Next time you share such a qemu image, please don't set the locale and the keyboard layout to Italian. It makes it easier for non-Italian-speaking folk to help you. I will consider the advice. Thanks! I will dig a bit more into the source code of the kdm Debian package and see if I can provide an updated version which should finally provide 100% compatibility. However, just to be sure I'm asking again: When you do a fresh installation and don't use a service file for kdm, kdm works and systemctl status kdm.service shows that it's running however you get the warning in the journal about the display-manager service, right?

also I think it's impossible that a soft-link /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service is created on a fresh install who only installs KDM as display-manager.service. Otherwise on the system there would be a /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service who not point to no service. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think it's a normal behaviour if kdm does not provide service file as do other Display Manager like GDM3 and SLIM So, I did *lots* of testing today. I installed Debian Jessie using the netinst installation image, both the Beta 2 and a daily snapshot, both i386 and amd64 and always just installed a minimal base system using tasksel by just selecting SSH server and Standard system utilities [1]. I then rebooted the freshly installed system which had no graphical user interface installed whatsoever and logged in as the standard user. Then became the root user (using sudo) and installed just 'plasma desktop' and 'kdm': apt-get install plasma-desktop kdm After that finished, I rebooted the machine and it booted right into kdm without any issues or error messages. Whatever I did, I could *NOT* reproduce your problem - at all. Thus, I conclude that you are either using broken installation media or the Debian mirror you are using is broken.

Install everything with the defaults 4. At the tasksel selection screen, select Desktop-KDE plus SSH server and base system 5. Finish installation and reboot 6.

If there is actually a bug, I want to help fixing it. However, my problem is that I cannot reproduce the bug in any way which is why I assume it's a configuration issue on your side. kdm is still part of Jessie and should be working as expected on a systemd installation.

Bug#755359: [kdm] systemd seem to fail to start display-manager.service
Package: kdm Version: 4:4.11.9-1 Severity: minor Dear maintainers, My machine (updated debian testing) has only KDM as display manager, it starts without problem after upgrading/trasition to systemd. But in journald log I see this message systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details. This bug can be related to another: #741511 If I install slim and choose KDM instead of slim as display manager this messagge disappears (and KDM login works), but this is not a solution. KDM must provide own display-manager.service file/soft-link. This message shouldn't appear on a machine with only KDM display-manager installed, and when I choose between multiple display-managers the softlink /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service must be updated --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14.12 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 testing cdn.debian.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===-+-=== adduser | 3.113+nmu3 consolekit | 0.4.6-4 debconf (= 0.5) | 1.5.53 OR debconf-2.0 | kde-wallpapers-default | 4:4.12.4-1 kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins (= 4:4.11.9-1) | 4:4.11.9-1 lsb-base (= 3.2-14) | 4.1+Debian13 kde-runtime ( 4:4.10) | 4:4.13.1-1 libc6 (= 2.15) | 2.19-4 libck-connector0 (= 0.2.1) | 0.4.6-4 libdbus-1-3 (= 1.0.2) | 1.8.4-1 libkdecore5 (= 4:4.11) | 4:4.13.1-1 libkdeui5 (= 4:4.11) | 4:4.13.1-1 libkio5 (= 4:4.11) | 4:4.13.1-1 libknewstuff3-4 (= 4:4.11) | 4:4.13.1-1 libkworkspace4abi2 (= 4:4.11.9-1) | 4:4.11.9-1 libpam0g (= 0.99.7.1) | 1.1.8-3 libqimageblitz4 (= 1:0.0.4) | 1:0.0.6-4 libqt4-svg (= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.6+dfsg-2 libqt4-xml (= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.6+dfsg-2 libqtcore4 (= 4:4.7.0~beta1) | 4:4.8.6+dfsg-2 libqtgui4 (= 4:4.8.0) | 4:4.8.6+dfsg-2 libstdc++6 (= 4.1.1) | 4.9.0-7 libx11-6 | 2:1.6.2-2 libxau6 | 1:1.0.8-1 libxdmcp6 | 1:1.1.1-1 libxtst6 | 2:1.2.2-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed ==-+-=== kde-workspace | 4:4.11.9-1 OR x-session-manager | OR x-window-manager | logrotate | 3.8.7-1 xserver-xorg | 1:7.7+7 OR xserver | xterm | 308-1 OR x-terminal-emulator | Suggests (Version) | Installed =-+-=== kde-wallpapers | 4:4.12.4-1 kdepasswd | 4:4.12.4-1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
