One thing that I've noticed with elogind is that it doesn't interact will with systemd-logind on other machines. Any loginctl command normally fails because the version we have looks in /var/lib/elogind and systemd uses /var/lib/systemd. It would also be useful to figure out how to run user level systemd services, likely using systemd itself, for those who are interested in doing so. I've heard that systemd is modular, in that at compile time it's possible to choose which modules to build. Perhaps we can build a subset which are actually useful for us? --=20 Efraim Flashner =D7=90=D7=A4=D7=A8=D7=99=D7=9D = =D7=A4=D7=9C=D7=A9=D7=A0=D7=A8 GPG key =3D A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted --bdGtDPii2K1NCeVS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEoov0DD5VE3JmLRT3Qarn3Mo9g1EFAmDFtEYACgkQQarn3Mo9 g1EKbxAArfWqwXlvjGGnNtnAavmnPtFmhAeWPsshxClOo8HP40eeS3OXG7znm4+f hqFlZdaP47iPawXQJq8Xvm6b0gBaGfVed5gC0Sfa5BUP1FOCmJjcXKovkjU7UHz1 d4ej5izw6Cw3RD67n8Q94rleirfsHMVwGD9nrD2Wml7Z2TDvlsphk2vdLOnPYH9V kV72wTO2JX2enyijoMCRv1MEmkQZPs6KXqq2dLu8Ysd85QLBWbhCjN8RVfbObNM5 r7G0crg6Ee7Uy20kZT1KGYWema8G29X3QIV8XF8XIybcQdC09ePZGZU51YiSdoju DZ1koLUqh/iL05+8yDIN+tBKKDkdBIZOuWiUc3BOEGRrxFH+LNAnYVCTiGe7LVx9 Pm2vM7DXY4fW9H1KcoXacgXkZdgExjZPyDke+CxAHXBhdnQmwBfxBAxOC4aoyCNF yg69+TDW8SAroLyIm9QZ+YXJPrv0mfMWee7qN01tKOeyvOk91CKtg8t2tkyQi6Pr Se1YndWaLbHQkWLwg9JiQl6TFRuS8AGEaq/t/Sk7+3rNEiskALYMYFhgGm6SvVF6 wfrrkBz+vV21/rPufZ3Eq7/x/FdP53I4svpYO1Gt9iq8gtASWERzcdQxAhagNm+x j6zjDeeGH0G8OulWgRGQEKKAfyyUnTPY1GESVfw3n8WJ3naMurA= =M6RO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bdGtDPii2K1NCeVS--
