Hi Michael,

I now dist-upgraded to bookworm/testing. I can't reproduce the issue there. On bookworm/testing, the old session is not reused.

So for bullseye/stable, possible workarounds are:
* reboot
* wait for the timeout to finish the session completely
* pkill -u $user (e.g. from a text-vt)

Which terminal emulator do you use? E.g gnome-terminal is implemented as a user service and might be affected.

Yes, gnome-terminal.

But looking at the Ubuntu machine where I first encountered the issue, the session stays alive for a few seconds even when I don't start gnome-terminal.

After logging out, how long did you wait before logging in again?
I vaguely remember that there is a timeout before an idle user session is terminated.

I didn't wait long.
And yes, the user session was still active. That's why I filed the bug against the systemd package.

Or do you have lingering enabled, so user sessions are deliberately not terminated?

No.

Feel free to ask, if you want me to provide more detail.

Ingo
