systemd in openSUSE Factory installeren

Waarschuwing: Het volgende kan er voor zorgen dat uw machine niet meer kan opstarten, alleen voor ervaren Linux systeembeheerders. :)

Please uninstall all earlier versions of systemd and systemd-sysvinit with

rpm -e --nodeps systemd systemd-sysvinit

before installing or updating new packages. Some needed logic inside the rpm runs only at the first installation of systemd.

A possible more recent version of systemd might be available from the Base:System repository: systemd. It usually takes a couple of days to move from there to Factory systemd.

Make sure you run a 2.6.36+ kernel with CONFIG_CGROUPS=y. Some kernel flavours, like -desktop, did not enable it. This should be fixed already, or be on the way to Factory.

# Use the Factory repo:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ Factory
# Install systemd
zypper install systemd

At this point systemd is installed in parallel with systemvinit. To actually use systemd as your init reboot your machine and append the following to your kernel command line arguments at the grub menu:

init=/bin/systemd

On the running system check the output of:

 LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
 ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
 SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
 JOB    = Pending job for the unit.
 
 178 units listed. Pass --all to see inactive units, too.

for a starting point to understand what's going on. All tools have proper man pages and should provide much of the needed information.

Server admins that manage many user logins might want to check pam_systemd, install the pam module, check the output of systemd-cgls and see how systemd takes track over groups of processes belonging to a service or a logged-in user. The kernel cgroups make it possible to have control over the resources a specific service, a user or a login is able to take:

Systemd mounts afew filesystems natively, and some others are provided as automounts, which are activated on demand when accessed:

A typical bootup adds something like this to the kernel log (dmesg):

 [    2.289347] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2228k freed
 [    2.396738] init[1]: systemd 10 running in system mode. (+PAM +LIBWRAP +AUDIT +SELINUX; suse)
 [    2.490912] init[1]: Set hostname to <yio>.
 [    2.902303] udev[53]: starting version 162
 ...
 [            ] init[1]: Startup finished in 2s 492ms 633us (kernel) + 7s 303ms 506us (userspace) = 9s 796ms 139us.

To permanently switch-over, without any bootloader options, the RPM package systemd-sysvinit can be installed, which conflicts with the currently used sysvinit.

In case things go wrong during the current development cycle, it might be nice to have a copy of sysvinit's /sbin/init as /sbin/init.sysv laying around, to be able to repair a systemd-only system, which might be slightly more convenient than init=/bin/bash.

That's it! If things break try some of the Documentation.

The developers can be found at #systemd at irc.freenode.net.

Common Problems

Services not starting as expected

Even though chkconfig cron shows that cron should be enabled, it seems not to be started after boot. systemctl start cron.service starts it just fine. See Bug #660493.

systemctl enable cron.service helps here.

Loop mounts not working without manually loading the "loop" module

See Bug #661715. With SysV init, the loop module was unconditionally loaded by /etc/init.d/boot.localfs which is not used anymore. If you want to autoload it anyway, do

echo loop > /etc/modules-load.d/loop.conf

Getting debug from systemd

To get debug from systemd, you can either :

  • remove quiet from kernel command line
  • increase systemd verbosity by adding systemd.log_target=kmsg systemd.log_level=debug to kernel command line. You can also add systemd.sysv_console=1 (0: disabled, 1: enabled) to display legacy SysV initscripts output on console.
  • modify /etc/systemd/system.conf (check man systemd.conf) to increase verbosity like this :
LogLevel=debug
LogTarget=syslog-or-kmsg
SysVConsole=yes

serial console isn't working

By default, systemd starts a minimal set of getty to let the system accessible.

When specifying on kernel command line which serial console should be used, only the last one in the list (which define the "active" console), will get a getty started :

  • console=tty0 console=ttyS0 will start a console on both tty0 (ie physical console) and serial console
  • console=ttyS0 console=tty0 will only start a console on tty0

To force starting console on serial port, use :

ln -s /lib/systemd/systemd/serial-getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/serial-getty@ttyS0.service
