Package: systemd
Version: 230-7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Attempting to (re)understand systemd ...
~$ systemctl
Failed to list units: No such method 'ListUnitsFiltered'
other options also fail
e.g.
sudo systemctl try-restart exim4
Failed to try-restart exim4.service: No such method 'TryRestartUnit'
See system logs and 'systemctl status exim4.service' for details.
I also see logind errors and have been having dbus session issues which may all be related to a pam module.
At other times systemd has attempted to rename network interfaces, screw up diplay manager, hang without console access , fail to start real consoles at all deep fry kittens ...
Fortunately this is a humble home desktop and not a production server.
At some point soon I will do a fresh install, Its proabably something to do with my bent view of networking or black roosters or something.
