Description Martin Dummer 2021-05-29 14:03:06 UTC

When gpm is installed on systemd systems, systemd throws an annoying warning

Mai 29 15:03:29 bln9716cm systemd[1]: Reloading.
Mai 29 15:03:29 bln9716cm systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/gpm.service:7: Standard output type syslog is obsolete, automatically updating to journal. Please update your unit file, and consider removing the setting altogether.


I propose to follow the advice and remove the line 

StandardOutput=syslog

from the gpm.service file
