Bug#735628: gdm3: Does not restart system when clicking {Restart}

[Adrian Immanuel Kieß]

Dear Andreas,

following to your suggestion I installed systemd-sysv and it is really
nice; the system boots much quicker.

As a side note, I had to apt-get purge portmap to make nfs-kernel-server
working again with systemd; but not all of the console output is shown
again while booting up, because of GDM is loading and takes the console
output away.

Installing systemd now fixed the missing console output while shutting
the system down.

Thanks for your help.

With many greetings,

Adrian
