[Bug 1187579] Re: Upgrading systemd to 204-0ubuntu1 clears running XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ?!

[Martin Pitt]

I tried tons of upgrades from 202 to 204 yesterday during packaging, and
I just re-tried it again on yesterday's daily with udev/logind 202. Do
you still have the screen output of the update? (/var/log/dist-upgrade
if you used update-manager, or maybe in scrollback?)

udev isn't concerned about /run/user, logind is not restarted during
upgrades, and libpam-systemd should only get active if you create a new
user session for the same user. The latter is most likely to have
happened, can you remember having done something like that? If you still
have that broken boot, could you please check the creation and
modification dates of /run/user/1000 to see whether it was created
before or after the update?

Finally, can you please attach /var/log/auth.log? It may have something
interesting.

Thanks!

Title:
  Upgrading systemd to 204-0ubuntu1 clears running XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ?!

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After recent upgrade [1] my current in-flight user session has lost
  support for GPG and SSH agents.

  My XDG_RUNTIME_DIR also looks suspiciously emptyish.

  $ du -a $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
  0	/run/user/1000/dconf
  0	/run/user/1000/pulse/native
  4	/run/user/1000/pulse/pid
  4	/run/user/1000/pulse
  0	/run/user/1000/gvfs
  4	/run/user/1000

  $ env | grep AUTH
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring-mOahZg/ssh

  And indeed it looks like the above SSH_AUTH_SOCK is no longer there.

  I'm blaming upgrade of systemd packages =) And suspecting they are not
  safe to upgrade. Fedora applies upgrades on shutdown/startup, and thus
  there are usually no in-flight user-sessions.
