loginctl should look into the directory '/run/systemd/sessions/' which contains pipes and text files. The text files contain info on seats, sessions, users; e.g. # ls -la /run/systemd/sessions/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Oct 27 12:31 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 140 Oct 27 12:11 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 276 Oct 27 12:31 2 prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 12:11 2.ref -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 287 Oct 27 12:31 5 prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 12:28 5.ref > strace doesn't show me anything obvious (which doesn't always > mean anything). > > <https://pastebin.com/78F14s8P> > > Q: Is there any documentation anyone knows about that describes > this error? > > Thanks I don't know of any documentation to point you towards. It could be a permissions problem, in the first instance I would start with /run/systemd/ sessions/ which should be owned by root. PS. If you converted your system to run with elogind recently, did you set up the requisite USE flag and re-emerged @world with '--newuse'?
