Description of problem: With - /etc/systemd/system/default.target pointing to /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target When I - reboot, boot with systemd - login on tty1 as root - type # telinit 5 or # systemctl isolate graphical.target then nothing happens (i.e. gdm never launches) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-8-3.fc14.i686 kernel-2.6.35.4-18.fc14.i686 dbus-1.4.0-1.fc14.i686 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Expected results: With upstart, when - reboot with runlevel 3 - login on tty1 as root - type # telinit 5 will cause gdm to launch. Additional info With systemd, - reboot with targeting multi-user.target - login on tty1 as root - type # systemctl rescue -> after this login passwd is required (bug 628929) - then # systemctl isolate graphical.target will cause gdm to launch (i.e. with systemd, going to "runlevel 5" will require to once go down to "runlevel 1")
