Devs, All, Recently across several distros there have been issues with loginctl not showing a TTY associated with a login. This has caused various issues with processes that rely on the user TTY for one thing or another. So I decided to test Arch on two backup servers, both current though today, both boot to multi-user target. On one box TTY=pts/0 is associated with my user login, on the other there is no TTY associated, e.g. 02:41 fenrir:~> loginctl show-session auto Id=1 User=1000 Name=david Timestamp=Sat 2024-08-31 02:37:24 CDT TimestampMonotonic=164549181 VTNr=0 TTY=pts/0 ^^^^^^^^^ Remote=yes RemoteHost=192.168.6.104 Service=sshd Scope=session-1.scope Leader=776 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=1725090076000000 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=395959270 LockedHint=no The other: 02:40 valhalla:~> loginctl show-session auto Id=1 User=1000 Name=david Timestamp=Sat 2024-08-31 02:26:09 CDT TimestampMonotonic=32411169 VTNr=0 Remote=yes RemoteHost=192.168.6.104 Service=sshd Scope=session-1.scope Leader=712 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 LockedHint=no How is that possible and what to check? Seems freedesktop.org and provided another mystery. Ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
