7.7.1 and systemd

[jhgarrison]

Knoppix newbie here coming from pre-systemd background on CentOS 6.

I've got 7.7.1 installed on a USB thumb drive and it boots just fine. However typical systemd tools don't seem to work.

Something as simple as

sudo systemctl list-units

fails with

No such method 'ListUnitsFiltered'

. However, I do see some systemd processes running.

What exactly is the init vs systemd status in Knoppix 7.7.1? Is most everything run from

/etc/init.d

? Some network-related things in

/etc/init.d

also seem to not work, such as

/etc/init.d/networking restart

. It gives a deprecation warning but doesn't actually do anything to the network.

Feeling confused...

Knoppix works around systemd as do several other Debian-derived Linuxes.
