Thank you.
I installed firmware-iwlwifi, now wired _and_ wireless work. Disks are fine.
Wireless I hardware switched-off.
Two wired eth networks, one inbuilt, one usb.
Same hang when I undock (no usb devices, no ethernets, just plain
laptop). Ie same named/avahi/dhclient 'hang' loop.
Default samba4 install on relatively fresh wheezy install.
So (I'm running only successfully on /sbin/init):
apt-get purge samba4
apt-get autoremove
rm /var/log/syslog # let's get really clean output!
reboot
# start with systemd
# allow to timeout
# login as root for system maintenance!
#I'm supposed to be happy at this point and say "yay"
vi /var/log/syslog
...
WFT?!!?! No syslog file.
BIG apologies, I have been deceived by the systemd - I assumed it
would log _something_ to syslog. No. Everything I was seeing (and
reporting on thus far) was init. systemd "hangs" before it logs
anything for me. Then _eventually_ (2 minutes, may be less?) provides
for a root login, which I gratefully accept, but still nothing, no
thing, not a thing (not even an empty syslog file) was logged.
/var/log/syslog.1 (old file) and older exist, but no /var/log/syslog.
Where to?
I'm willing to try to assist a little with shiny syslog on debian, but
this is starting to _not_ look sane, to me.
I believe I ran systemd at least once (suspending and unsuspending
over a day or so), since I tested both systemctl and systemadm
(systemd's gui).
Wish I could be more helpful...
