Ubuntu 15.04 and systemd

Systemd is still gettings lots of media attention, and now it seems that the folks at Canonical are preparing to switch to it in a future version of Ubuntu. Version 15.04 could be the first time Ubuntu users see systemd in their favorite distribution.

Michael Larabel at Phoronix reports on Ubuntu’s eventual switch to systemd:

While Ubuntu was one of the last big hold-outs to systemd instead preferring Upstart, it looks like soon in the Ubuntu 15.04 cycle that systemd could become the default init manager.

Among the bugs that need to be addressed for the switch to happen is needing some AppArmor fixes, support for Ubuntu working in a LXC container with systemd, working cryptsetup integration with systemd during the boot process, and other changes.
