  • QXL GPU driver fails when changing runlevel w/systemd

    Posted on

    Host RHEL7; Guest RHEL7

    I changed the runlevel from default graphical.target to multi-user.target with

    systemctl isolate multi-user.target
    with no problems. However, when I tried to change back to the default,
    systemctl isolate graphical.target
    failed with the following message in the serial console:
