Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Systemd AND systemd-sysv

At a guess it's for back compatibility for software that only knows about sysV init and not about systemd.

At another guess, something on your system (no, I don't know what) is using/expecting sysV init.

You'll need to provide more information as to how your system is "f******ed up" for more precise advice.

hello command reports i am running at level 3
the systemd just starts the lightdm.service runlevel something about 5

the /etc/rc3.d reports a bunch of services similar to systemd like lightdm rsync sudo with the SXXX meaning its marked for
start

and lastly the reports init as always 1

but why?

if we kill the 1 by using and re-type the ps aux | grep init

we see something like systemd 1 with some serialize things around

can someone tell why this happening and the both needed ? and where
and why ?

Thanks
