21630 Jan 16 14:54:32 dhcppc1 systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit mdmonitor-takeover.service, ignoring: Unit mdmonitor-takeover.servic           e failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status mdmonitor-takeover.service' for details.

Comment 1 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2013-01-16 04:08:29 UTC

A workaround is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879327#c13

Switching to a virtual terminal, and running:

# 
# sudo mdmon --all --takeover --offroot
# sudo systemctl restart gdm.service

got GDM to come up normally.

Comment 2 Jes Sorensen 2013-01-16 08:32:44 UTC

This is probably related to 879327 and has nothing to do with gdm itself.
If gdm really depends on the takeover service running, the problem is with
gdm, however there is no indication of this in:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service
