Re: [systemd-devel] firmware update check script
Hi, I am already doing this with other init systems with modern usb , I am able doing this with my TV, soundbar... The only bad thing is that systemd has sprayed in some recent distributions (where are the benefits ?) Unfortunately in today's world, there are more commercial people than technician people. No matter, I will not debate more, I gave and made myself an opinion regarding systemd.

No, that has little to do with systemd. It's a systematic change how today's hardware works, and that probing is asynchronous and USB the way USB is. The only difference with systemd is that we don't pretend that hardware would work a way it doesn't work.

Re: [systemd-devel] firmware update check script
You are right, but that's only systemd that is incompatible with this feature (and some more). As some people and some articles I have read on the web, it is time for myself switching my system to a professional initscript service. - Mail original - De: "Lennart Poettering" <lenn...@poettering.net> À: "Stéphane ANCELOT" <sance...@free.fr> Cc: systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Envoyé: Mercredi 3 Août 2016 16:47:09 Objet: Re: [systemd-devel] firmware update check script On Tue, 02.08.16 10:19, Stéphane ANCELOT (sance...@free.fr) wrote: > Hi, > > It looks like very complicated making easy thing > > I would need only setting up a script that looks for usb media and launch a > script if available on it (firmware upgrade) > > unfortunately, it looks like, graphic display is launched in parallel and i > am not able doing this in a text only mode, before continuing boot process > > I would need some help to going on. This cannot work and is incompatible with how modern computers work. USB devices can take any time they want to initialize, and that means there's no point in time at boot where all USB sticks are known to have shown up, since there could always be more still popping up. You can order your service before the display manager of your choice, and use Type=oneshot to make sure your tool finishes before the activation of the DM is attempted, but this will be very racy because of the aforementioned issue that USB devices can take any time they like to initialize.

[systemd-devel] firmware update check script
Hi, It looks like very complicated making easy thing I would need only setting up a script that looks for usb media and launch a script if available on it (firmware upgrade) unfortunately, it looks like, graphic display is launched in parallel and i am not able doing this in a text only mode, before continuing boot process I would need some help to going on.
