I read today that systemd has been updated to version 220 over on It Runs On Linux. I was wondering a couple of things not included in the article and pertaining specifically to ubuntu 15.04.
As the title states, how would I update systemd? It downloads as a tar.xz file, so would I just open up terminal and do a
tar -xvzf systemd-220.tar.xz
?Would it fix the "starting version 219" system stalls on boot? I figured out how to fix the ACPI part of the common error that comes with nvidia drivers but I still get that hang. Eventually my system boots but it takes sometimes upwards of a minute to get into the GUI.
Thanks in advance for any info
systemd
is very core to your system and ships naturally, starting with version 15.04. It is highly recommended that you update when updates are available throughapt
. Have you tried updating via apt? Is there an underlying issue you're trying to resolve that makes you want this version ofsystemd
?
