Also, there is a page in teh Arch Wiki that covers setting up user sessions with systemd.[1] Have you taken a look that this? Setup is not quite simply making services and then calling "systemd --user".

I had followed that page on the wiki, I will double check my configuration is correct.

I checked again and my problem persists.

$ systemctl --user status mpd.service Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1

This is what happens if you don't set up the necessary things that are described in the wiki. But if you are using linux-ck, you should know that even if you set things up, you will still get this because the bfs patchset actually disables some cgroup setting in the kernel that are necessary for user sessions to work.

I am using stock kernel.

You might want to read [0] and, grepping [1] for "user session" might point you to [2] over a detour. So. Now that you can answer some questions, answer this one: How much of this can you prove you have running and where exactly is your problem?

Right, I wasn't fully aware of these cgroups. I knew about them but I didn't know they were used in systemd user sessions. I read the links you suggested and I went back to the mpd wiki [1] which led me to the forum thread that recently updated [2]. It seems recently the process described in the wiki it's not working. I end up being in the same situation as post #21 of the forum thread, 'stuck in login'. Is there a step missing from the process described in that post? Would you recommend a different approach?
