Re: [arch-general] Why "systemd --user" process hanging around after logout?

Hi DR,

I've noticed recently that even after I log out of my desktop env (XFCE) there is a process tree left hanging around running "systemd --user" under my user ID (with a bunch of gvfs child processes running under it).

Me too. It's been like that for a long time. If you do ‘loginctl user-status $user’ for that user, does it show a process under the session-*.scope? I have /usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent here. If so, it's that process that's keeping the session open and thus gvfs lives on because it's ‘required’. Killing just geoclue's PID makes the session disappear after a few seconds as the session doesn't get reused. -- Cheers, Ralph.
