Package: systemd Version: 239-7 Severity: normal Hi,
this bug report is about an issue which I consider a usability issue. I'm happy to forward/discuss this with upstream, though I'd like to discuss this within Debian and pkg-systemd team before. When invoking: # systemctl --host=... status ssh.service then the terminal kind of breaks, if dbus isn't present. For example if `PermitRootLogin yes` is set in sshd_config and trying to connect to the local system *without* dbus being present I get: root@debian-sid01:~# systemctl --host=$(hostname) status ssh.service root@debian-sid01's password: root@debian-sid01:~# root@debian-sid01:~#·root@debian-sid01:~#·root@debian-sid01:~#·root@debian-sid01:~#· So whenever pressing the <enter> key the prompt gets worse (and only a `reset` fixes that). :) As soon as dbus is present/available it works as intended though. This is quite irritating, not even getting an error/warning message. I'm aware that dbus is inside Recommends and withouth dbus quite some functionality is missing, though I'm wondering if there's anything that could be improved here? Any opinions/ideas? regards, -mika-
