[cc'ing systemd maintainers for their input] Hi all,
On a fresh qemu install dist-upgraded to sid (wheezy install; dist-upgrade and lastly gnome install) I'm consistently getting the issue described by Gabriel Mainberger, namely that gdm gets the wrong XDG_RUNTIME_PATH and fails to start. But interestingly it only happens if I restart gdm. So it actually works on boot, but if I try to restart it, I get the following dbus calls from libpam-systemd: ------------- method call sender=:1.59 -> dest=org.freedesktop.login1 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/login1; interface=org.freedesktop.login1$Manager; member=CreateSession uint32 117 uint32 3462 string "gdm-launch-environment" string "x11" string "greeter" string "seat0" uint32 7 string "" string ":0" boolean false string "" string "" array [ ] array [ ] boolean false method return sender=:1.17 -> dest=:1.59 reply_serial=2 string "2" object path "/org/freedesktop/login1/session/_32" string "/run/user/1000" (dbus-monitor too dumb to decipher arg type 'h') string "" uint32 0 boolean true ------------- Note that we're requesting a login for uid=117 and getting runtime_path=/run/user/1000. This is the result when run under "su". The returned path is "/run/user/0" if run directly by root. This doesn't seem to be impacted by the /proc/*/loginuid of systemd-logind (even if logind was started by a su'ed uid 1000, we still get /run/user/<real uid> when running "gdm3 start"). At first I wasn't sure where gnome-session was getting the wrong XDG_RUNTIME_PATH, so I attempted calling "env - /usr/sbin/service gdm3 restart", but this changed nothing. Incidently, this system is also affected by #728180, so maybe the fact that I had to kill Xorg (and with it gnome-session) after stopping gdm3 might have something to do with it? I'm not sure if this is a problem with gdm3, gnome-session or systemd-logind, and I'm unfortutately stumped as to ways of debugging this better.
