[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
I can confirm that installing nscd also solves the problem without needing to fiddle with the systemd-logind restrictions. However, I am no fan of nscd. Caching passwords for ten minutes (its default) causes all sorts of confusion when a user changes his password, or requests a password reset, for the protocol has no ability to indicate when the cache is probably invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
Slightly odd behaviour with systemd version 245.4-4ubuntu3.6. In /etc/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service.d/override.conf I have: [Service] RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_INET IPAddressAllow=any On a cold boot I don't get the user session started: amcvey@ottub2004tst01:~$ systemctl --user Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory But switching to root, running 'systemctl daemon-reload; systemctl restart systemd-logind' and then logging in again as a user account seems to work. I didn't make any changes to the config files, just restart the systemd components. If I then add ProtectHostname=no and reboot it seems to allow it to boot from cold without having to run systemctl daemon-reload; systemctl restart systemd-logind again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

I can confirm the workaround is good for me too. I don't seem to need the "ProtectHostname=no" option though, and in fact, the workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1916235 is also now working as well. Looking at the test system I used today it's running systemd 245.4-4ubuntu3.2, whereas the version I originally tested was 245.4-4ubuntu3.4.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
Ok, so it does sound like this and bug 1916235 are the same issue. And this might be 'as designed', since upstream systemd wants systemd-logind to talk to systemd-userdb instead of directly connecting to NIS servers; however Debian (and Ubuntu) disable systemd-userdb. @rbalint @ahasenack @mbiebl, since Debian/Ubuntu disable systemd-userdb, should we also adjust the systemd-logind RestrictAddressFamilies= restriction (and IPAddressDeny= and/or IPAddressAllow=) to allow networking? I'm not sure why ProtectHostname= would also be needed, but I assume it's related to the tighter restrictions on systemd-logind. > I don't understand why daemon-reexec differs from rebooting. daemon-reload and daemon-reexec only affect pid 1; you need to actually (also) restart systemd-logind after making a change to its unit file; reloading/reexecing pid 1 won't change anything about the running systemd-logind. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
A little more information, after some investigation. The issue affects xdm logins at the console, as well as remote ssh logins. This also means that audio at the console fails to work, as ACLs for the console's user are not added to the audio devices. It seem that it can be solved by putting in /etc/systemd/system/systemd- logind.service.d/override.conf [Service] RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_UNIX AF_NETLINK AF_INET IPAddressDeny= ProtectHostname=no after which "systemctl daemon-reload" followed by "systemctl daemon- reexec" does nothing useful, but a reboot does cause things to start working. (I don't understand why daemon-reexec differs from rebooting.) Changing the above file is approximately equivalent to "systemctl edit systemd-logind" followed by "systemctl daemon-reload", but, when faced with multiple machines, the file change may be easier to script. Note that the directory probably does not exist. The need for ProtectHostname=no seems new, and note also that if one speaks IPv6 to one's NIS servers, AF_INET6 may be necessary. I do not use nscd, which may also solve the issue.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
We are seeing the same issue with essentially the same setup (NIS for accounts with nsswitch in compat mode, Kerberos for authentication). We see the same pam_systemd debug message when attempting to log in as regular/remote user: pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: No such process Naturally loginctl doesn't report the session. No /run/user/$UID directory gets created, and additionally, trying to run "systemctl --user" spits out: Trying to run as user instance, but $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set. After manually setting this variable, we see the familiar "Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory" Strangely, this problem is not present on some of our slightly older 20.04 VMs in the fleet. The working VMs are using systemd version 245.4-4ubuntu3.2 We noticed this behavior yesterday on 245.4-4ubuntu3.4, and the problem persists having upgraded to 245.4-4ubuntu3.6. This definitely looks like a regression, but I'm not sure which package is at fault or how to debug/pinpoint further. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
Dan, thanks for the comments, appreciate it. In reply: Using only "compat" in /etc/nsswitch.conf is legitimate and we use it without issue on multiple Linux distributions as well as older Ubuntu releases. It invokes a different behaviour to using "nis", allowing more fine grained control of who can authenticate from the NIS database by appending +user|+netgroup to /etc/passwd. FWIW, replacing "compat" with "nis" and removing the + entries at the end of the passwd file yields the same systemd behaviour. Earlier in testing I tried using sssd, going direct to AD, cutting out NIS entirely. Using sssd also failed to start the systemd user context. I will try that again tomorrow with the debug flags to see that shows up anything new. getent passwd amcvey responds immediately and correctly, suggesting the underlying calls to getpwnam() are also working correctly. All other NIS accounts are also resolved correctly and without delay. I don't think using nscd will help much here, the issue is not the response time from the NIS server(s) or the number of calls being made. This also makes me think that the bug you referenced (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12702) is not the root cause here, as there are performance issues in that use case, which I'm not seeing here at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
First, from re-reading the bug description, it seems like you don't have nis in your nsswitch.conf file? I'm not an expert in NIS config/usage, but I think you need to add that, e.g. at *least*: passwd: compat nis systemd you might need to add it to group, shadow, and gshadow as well. Second, does getent work? If not, that's most likely your problem; e.g.: $ getent passwd 198083 Third, you could try setting up nscd if you haven't already, which may help if your NIS lookups are slow. Finally note that this upstream systemd bug appears to match your problem, and the conclusion there was the problem is either a local config issue or NIS bug: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12702 ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #12702 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12702 ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915502 Title: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: systemd-logind fails to start the systemd --user process for non-local users on Ubuntu 20.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
Ok I think we need to see the pam_systemd side of this then; can you add 'systemd.log_level=debug' to the boot params and reboot, and then recreate the failure?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1915502] Re: "systemd --user" fails to start for non-local users
I think I am suffering from the same issue. I have always run without "UsePAM yes" in sshd_config, but I recently tried turning it on in order to get XDG_ variables set correctly and proper systemd sessions for ssh logins. In 18.04 it worked as expected, but in 20.04 I get sshd[387766]: pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: No such process in the logs after turning setting debug on pam_systemd.so and loginctl does not list the session.
