I can't find a solution in the 3 first page of searching in Google.
Thank you for help!

There must be a
/lib/systemd/systemd --user
process for the user you're running this for. Check with:ps aux | grep systemd
. In my case the process didn't exist because I was trying to setup background services on another account, and that user wasn't logged in (thesystemd --user
process is normally launched at login). The solution was to runsudo loginctl enable-linger $otherUser
, which keeps thesystemd --user
process running at all times. -
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
must be set. In my case it wasn't, so my command had to besudo -u $otherUser XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u $otherUser) systemctl --user
.
Most likely you have forgotten to enable pam
in the openssh configuration?
grep UsePAM /etc/ssh/sshd_config
UsePAM yes
The part responsible for starting the user session is pam_systemd
:
grep -R systemd /etc/pam.d/system-login
-session optional pam_systemd.so debug
If you habe enabled debugging (debug
pam option). You should see debug messages like:
$ journalctl -u sshd -g pam_systemd
Jun 17 17:41:05 shaun sshd[3575212]: pam_systemd(sshd:session): pam-systemd initializing

logind
