I have manjaro KDE with minimun installed package installed.
I am suprise it does not have systemd preinstalled… Is systemd is not a must for linux os of nowaday ?
It is not, but Manjaro KDE minimal has systemd installed and is using it.
How do you check for systemd?
inxi --recommends
It said missing
Better check with
pacman -Qi systemd
or check the journal with
journalctl -b
If you can use the journalctl command, it is a systemd System.
Manjaro is a systemd based distro. It’s the only init system that’s officially supported by Manjaro.
That command not check if systemd is installed or used. It check only inxi dependencies. You probably have output like this:
The following recommended system programs are missing:
...
Program: runlevel ~ Install package: systemd
It’s probably artifact after init, because systemd doesn’t have runlevel.

$ inxi --recommends
inxi will now begin checking for the programs it needs to operate.
Check inxi --help or the man page (man inxi) to see what options are available.

Test: recommended downloader programs (You only need one of these):
Perl HTTP::Tiny is the default downloader tool if IO::Socket::SSL is present. See --help --alt 40-44 options for how to
override default downloader(s) in case of issues.
If dig is installed, it is the default for WAN IP data. Strongly recommended. Dig is fast and accurate.

dig: -i wlan IP.................................................................................................... Missing
wget: -i (if no dig); -w,-W; -U.................................................................................... Present

have at least one of the downloader options present.:
Program: dig ~ Install package: dnsutils

Test: recommended kernel modules:
GPU modules are only needed if applicable. NVMe drives do not need drivetemp but other types do.
To load a module: modprobe <module-name> - To permanently load add to /etc/modules or /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf (check
your system paths for exact file/directory names).

Test: recommended Perl modules (Optional):
None of these are strictly required, but if you have them all, you can eliminate some recommended non Perl programs from the
install.
HTTP::Tiny and IO::Socket::SSL must both be present to use as a downloader option. For json export Cpanel::JSON::XS is
preferred over JSON::XS. To run --debug 20-22 File::Copy, File::Find, and File::Spec::Functions must be present (most distros
have these in Core Modules).
File::Copy: --debug 20-22 - required to run debugger............................................................... Present

```A bit late… i installed the systemd according to inxi suggestion… and it is installed before you post reply. I wish i check first… so that i know.
You are right … Can you please explain a bit more for me ? what is runlevel ? and why the need to install systemd if systemd is already installed on manjaro kde ?
no, without systemd : no manjaro ! here is a inxi “bug”
pactree -r systemd
LANG=en pacman -Qi systemd | grep ^ReqSorry, your answer is too short that i can’t make up what you meant. Pactree is ultility to check dependancy of packages…
pactree -r systemd should be to check for what packages depends on systemd …
What do you meant by no, without systemd : no manjaro ! here is a inxi “bug”
without systemd : no manjaro !
After multiple reading and thinking, I think you meant Manjaro NEEDS systemd, without systemd manjaro can’t run ?
To sum this up:
- You already had
systemdinstalled because Manjaro requires it. - You were told how to actually check if it’s installed.
- You were told why
inxithinks it’s not there, which is obviously not true.
There’s nothing you need to do. We’re done here.
