At this time, I am simply tying to figure out what is wrong with my laptop. Should systemd be the default/only init system when Jessie releases, I would rather have all these weird quirks fixed /before/ the release. Thus, I am trying to learn about systemd and understand what is going on vs starting yet another flamewar (there is enough of those at the moment...I really don't want to add another). > One feature I read about is that systemd will shut down under various > conditions that would also prevent exhausting the battery on a > laptop. A good thought. The battery on this 8yr old laptop is long dead. I only keep it in the laptop because it balances the weight (and there is an awkward gap in the back without it). A new battery for this laptop is 90$. Not worth it for this laptop. In any case, I removed the battery and I still have the issue. > I don't suppose there is anyway to install fresh to get rid of old > cruft?? I am sure I could, but it isn't easy as this laptop doesn't support USB boot and the CD-ROM is long dead too. I have to PXE boot the network image for the Debian install... Besides, I would rather see if I can find what is wrong vs just blowing it away and potentially losing whatever caused the problem. If I lose that, then we can't file a bug report to have it fixed which in turn means others might have this same issue in the future. If at all possible, I would like to find a proper fix. > I'm of no help as I am just starting to learn it, but I am learning > from your experience, so that you again. <bows deeply> Ric I'm learning too. :-) Thanks for the input.
