[Bug 1928385] [NEW] The systemd process runs twice, somehow preventing the system from getting to proper GUI login screen. I kill the higher number PID from a getty, and then my system boots properly.

Public bug reported:

The summary says all. The systemd process runs twice, somehow preventing
the system from getting to proper GUI login screen. My screen stays
dark, I jump to a getty using Alt-F2. I log in on the terminal, take a
list of running processes, I kill the higher number PID from a getty,
and then my system boots properly.
