thankyou so much!!
MOSTLY correct. systemd is very much installed, its just not used as the init system by default.Richard wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:03 am MX uses SysVinit by default.
It uses systemd-shim for app compatibility.
Systemd, per se, Is not installed.
amd provides the amdgpu open source graphics driver. this is included in the kernel by default these days. Some graphics cards may require a later version kernel than we ship by default.xtrail wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:42 amis amd drivers already baked into the OS? thanks :)xtrail wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:02 am Also, Hello there! i've just newly installed mx linux 19 beta, i have an amd laptop with vega 10 graphics, is there an automatic support for this graphics card? is there anything i have to do to get it working propertly?

Thankyou Richard, so any examples of how i would use SysVinit? how to use it? thanksRichard wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:03 am MX uses SysVinit by default.

Thank you for your response.dolphin_oracle wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 7:43 am do other ports not work, or just the front ones? and If I understand correctly, the front ports work when running the live-usb? Do the rear ones still work when running the live-usb?

I think you should clarify what full command you were trying to run. I suspect from your later post that you were merely trying to initiate or set up some fstrim commands and processes, rather than that you want to run in systemd per se. Pls clarify.xtrail wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:00 am Hello dear folks!!
Hello there :) Please help,
I'm new to mx linux and an beginner in linux. I just downloaded and installed mx linux 19 beta, and now when i run systemctl, it gives me this same error for almost everything, how do i fix it please?
it says "system has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down." Any idea how to fix this? thankyou for your help
No worries Richard. We do try to go out of our way to make systemd not necessary.Richard wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:53 pm @Dokphin_Oracle,
Thanks for the clarification.
I suppose I thought since I've never run it that it wasn't there. Must have been dreaming because it must be installed since it is in the grub menu.
hello, i'm just an beginner in Linux, so does this mean everytime i see and systemd that i replace it with something else? just what do i do? i don't even know what to do? if i see someone giving an tutotial on linux but its in in 'Systemctl" or "systemd", then what do i do?

If you just followed commands on the web for fstrim and they assumed you were using systemd, you would likely have got those error messages.
But now that you know fstrim is set up already by default in mx, do you actually still need those fstrim commands you wanted to run?
