Change to SystemD in Mx Linux

·1 min

Default Mx Linux is great and very stable. But some modern app require systemd to work properly. By default, Mx Linux are using SysVInit. To change it you need to change the boot option. Follow below guide to change it:

  1. open MX Tools
  2. find Boot Options
  3. Change Boot To to the latest kernel with (systemd) option
  4. Click Apply and restart your operating system

SystemD

Now you could test it by try running systemctl command and start/stop some service. For example lets restart cups service (it is for printing) by using below command:

systemctl restart cups

If there is no error, it means the command runs correctly.
