Details

Description:
On my threadripper system systemd always tried to start the gpm daemon before udevd was up and running.
So gpm could not open the mouse device file and failed. Later on at the prompt it could be started manually without errors.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gpm 1.20.7-8

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
reboot with systemd service gpm enabled on a multi core processor.

Resolutionm:
My patched and tested gpm.service file has
[Unit]
Description=Virtual console mouse server
Requires=systemd-udevd
After=systemd-udevd
ConditionPathExists=/dev/input/mouse0
...

For the whole file see appendix.
   gpm.service (0.2 KiB)
