ubuntu MATE 15.04: mate-settings-daemon problem with systemd

[Christian Zigotzky]

With systemd, the mate-settings-daemon starts 10 minutes later after the desktop login. It means it works but I have to wait 10 minutes after the login.
I found a way to reactivate Upstart. You can reactivate Upstart with "sudo apt-get install upstart-sysv". After that the mate-settings-daemon works without any problems.

With systemd (within 10 minutes):

sudo systemctl status org.mate.settingsd

Output:

org.mate.settingsd.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

sudo systemctl status org.mate.service

Output:

● org.mate.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

mate-settings-daemon

Output:

** (mate-settings-daemon:3091): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.mate.SettingsDaemon

** (mate-settings-daemon:3091): WARNING **: Could not acquire name

Is this issue still present in Ubuntu MATE 15.10 daily images?

[Christian Zigotzky (chzigotzky-xenosoft)]

Yes, it is. See http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3055&p=34583#p34583

The problem is solved. :-)

I compiled the RC4 of kernel 4.2 with namespaces support and after that I installed systemd-sysv on ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC. It boots and works without any problems. I don't need the boot argument "rw" anymore.

It turned out the reporter was using a custom kernel. As the above describes, it is now built with namespaces support and all it well.
