RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bill Quayle 2016-03-15 18:25:57 UTC

Description of problem:
When the default.target is graphical.target, and the user home directories are autofs/NFS-mounted filesystems, NetworkManager.service should be required before the graphical desktop is presented.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CentOS/RHEL/Fedora > 7.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load OS
2. Configure autofs client or fstab-based NFS mount of user home directories
3. Enable graphical desktop

Actual results:
User is unable to login to desktop, because the desktop is presented before the network and automount/nfs become available.

Expected results:
User is able to login to their nfs-mounted home directory.

Unfortunately it is up to you to enable NM, network.service, or systemd-networkd. Systemd only provides synchronization points, so those services are started in correct order.

Comment 3 Michal Sekletar 2016-03-17 08:40:28 UTC

Please provide exact systemd version which exhibits the problem. Did you change default configuration in any way (well except enabling autofs)? If yes, please outline changes you've have made. Also attach output of "journalctl -b" after you reproduce the issue.
