I just realised the "works for neither" section had a typo - the last lines of output should be: $ sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target Ok, so this actually works as it should. See the uspstream issue for details. To sum up: The 'preset-all' command removes default.target, even if it's in the configuration file, because "default.target" is not an actual name of a unit file. Also, when "multi-user.target" or "graphical.target" is specified in the configuration, it is not enabled as it doesn't have an Install section (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/02ebe178a2bd6b2448d4fbfa4a1f7fa98e9e82b1 for the reasoning). |
Description of problem: systemctl preset-all disables but wont enable default.target. So if the target is not enabled in preset policy it is removed. If it is enabled in default policy however it is not added. This is confusing behaviour. It should either work for both or none. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-219-19.el7_2.4.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. # No reference to multi-user.target in any systemd-preset files (ie uses 99-default.preset) 2. sudo systemctl preset-all 3. # Add "enable multi-user.target" to a systemd-preset file (eg /etc/systemd/system-preset/01-target.preset) 4. sudo systemctl preset-all Actual results: $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target $ sudo systemctl preset-all Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target. $sudo systemctl get-default graphical.target $ echo "enable multi-user.target" >> sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system-preset/01-target.preset $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl preset-all $ sudo systemctl get-default graphical.target Expected results: # Work for both $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target $ sudo systemctl preset-all Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target. $sudo systemctl get-default graphical.target $ echo "enable multi-user.target" >> sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system-preset/01-target.preset $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl preset-all Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target. $ sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target ------ OR -------- # Work for neither $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target $ sudo systemctl preset-all $sudo systemctl get-default multi-user.target $ echo "enable multi-user.target" >> sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system-preset/01-target.preset $ sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload $ sudo systemctl status multi-user.target ● multi-user.target - Multi-User System Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active since Wed 2016-03-09 15:57:02 AEDT; 1 day 1h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) $ sudo systemctl preset-all $ sudo systemctl get-default graphical.target Additional info: Possibly if it works for both a default preset policy should be added to: /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default.preset
