<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Richard Couture at 26/10/12 00:33 did gyre and gimble:

Yup, it's not even read now.

</I>
Yeah, this is a bit rubbish still. dm.service is just a symlink to mask
the real name of the service but the error message helpfully doesn't
hint at that. There was a discussion with a proposal to make this much
better upstream just a couple days ago so it'll probably get better over
time.
For various reasons I won't go into here (it's on the upstream
discussion) enabling/disabling services via their aliases is not a great
idea. More meta info is certainly needed tho'!
><i> How do I tell the system that yes graphics are installed and NO I don't
</I>><i> want to see them on boot??????
</I>
So in order to see more info, you can do "systemctl status dm.service"
This will tell you the *real* name of the service: which in this case is
prefdm.service:
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">colin at jimmy</A> code (master)]$ systemctl status dm.service
prefdm.service - Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/prefdm.service; static)
Active: active (running) since Tue, 2012-10-23 10:54:17 BST; 2 days ago
So normally I would say just run "systemctl disable prefdm.service"
should do the trick but if you look at the output above carefully, this
is actually a "static" service. This means it cannot be enabled/disabled
separately. This will eventually change (as in the long term we'll
transition to separate services for each of the desktop DMs
(gdm.service, kdm.service etc.).
Anyway, for now it's a hard requirement of graphical.target.
So long story short, you need to set your default.target to point at
multi-user.target rather than graphical.target.
You can use one of the utilities in drakxtools (I forget which) or you
can simply issue:
ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
(drop the leading "/usr" if on mga2).
