Re: Bleah: systemctl enable tdm.service -f / Failed to execute operation: Access denied

GDM works, TDM does not:

[root@toto system]# systemctl enable gdm.service

Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service.


Since there is a /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service and since there
is NO tdm.service, can I assume the installation broke?  Or that I
missed a step?  'yum provides tdm.service' says no matches found ...




[root@toto system]# systemctl status gdm.service

* gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; disabled;
vendor preset: enabled)

   Active: inactive (dead)

[root@toto system]# systemctl status tdm.service

Unit tdm.service could not be found.
