Source: systemd Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In the course of an update from Debian 7 to Debian 8 on a color iMac sytemd replaced sysv style init. Subsequently, bootsched from powerpc-utils stopped working. It would run and return 0 status but the system would not power-on at the appointed time. Following the instructions found here: https://ispire.me/downgrade-from-debian-sid-to-stable-from-jessie-to-wheezy/ sysvinit was re-installed and systemd removed: apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils (reboot) apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd During this process a message flashed by saying that a supernode(?) had a future date probably due to an invalid hardware clock setting and the notation "FIXED" On a hunch, I skipped the rest of the roll-back and retested /sbin/bootshed That test and a few subsequent all worked. and earlier attempt to fix the problem with: # hwclock --set --date "$(date)" had not worked. I'm staying on Debian 8 since /sbin/bootsched is working. I submit this report to document the work-around in case there are other color iMacs out there still. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
