strange, I installed after a reboot debian stretch, changed to
systvinit and upgraded to buster. That hangs on startup with
cgmanager, so since I don't need it, I removed it. Now it is
working, but I still see this in auth.log:

   PAM-CGFS[5167]: Failed to get list of controllers

I'm not sure, if this is a problem, but at least, it sounds like
one...

Best regards

Dirk
