[Mageia-dev] Starting DM service - fails during boot

[Robert Fox]

I have a Cauldron box which doesn't start DM when booted - and when I
check in Drakxservices, and check "start on boot" - it doesn't work
(resets back to not starting.

Once the machine has started, I can manually start the DM service.

BTW, I am NOT using systemd (although it is installed:


[root at minifox rfox]# rpm -qa | grep sysvinit
sysvinit-2.87-10.mga1
sysvinit-tools-2.87-10.mga1

[root at minifox rfox]# rpm -qa | grep systemd
lib64systemd-daemon0-37-13.mga2
systemd-units-37-13.mga2
systemd-37-13.mga2
lib64systemd-login0-37-13.mga2



[root at minifox rfox]# drakxservices

Any advice would be welcome -
