Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 46.0-1+b3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: segfa...@riseup.net
The systemd OOM notification functionality of gnome-settings-daemon is broken
on Debian. On Fedora, a notification is shown when a process is OOM-killed. On
Debian, it only works after applying the attached patch, which calls the
Subscribe() method of org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager. It's not clear to me
why it works without the patch on Fedora.
I also created an issue and MR upstream, but upstream is waiting on a
confirmation that the systemd behavior (not sending the PropertiesChanged
signal unless Subscribe() was called) is expected.
