[Administrator note: this post, and only this post, was originally attached to the solved topic [SOLVED] Sound/Pipewire/systemctl problem. -Hu]
I have all of those Problems as well, but the solution does not work for me. Anything else I can do? Thank you in advance.
PS: How did you manage to solve the shutdown and permission problems? |

Welcome to the forums. If you have the same problem as described in the referenced thread, then the solution described in that thread will work for you. If that solution did not work for you, then either you implemented it incorrectly or you have a different problem.
Generally, you should not reopen a solved thread if you need help with the problem it solved. Instead, you should open a new thread, using the old one as a guide for what information to share. You should describe what steps you have taken to try to solve the problem and what, if any, effect those steps had. |

Thank you! I was unsure if I should start a new topic. So I'm on a fresh Gentoo Install (Mate Desktop/systemd) and have all of the Problems that were described in the Other Thread. With my previous Gentoo installation I never had problems with user rights. Like the creator of the other thread, I have problems starting Pipewire for the user with systemctl. I get the error:
| Code: | | Failed to enable unit: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1 |
When I check the status I get:
| Code: | | Failed to get properties: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1 |
In the other Thread the Solution for this Problem was to downgrade to Polkit-123. I tried to do so but it didn't change anything.
I also can't shut down or restart the computer. If I try, I am thrown back into lightdm and have to do it from there.
I have one more problem: In my previous installation external drives could be mounted automatically. now I get an error message that I am not authorized to do so.
The only thing I did differently on this Installation was using Btrfs instead of ext4 and encrypting my drive.
I am Glad for any help. Many Thanks in advance.
Please Note: English is not my Native Language, so If there is anything unclear just ask.  |

| Since nobody has replied yet, I assume that nobody knows how to solve the problem. When I installed Gentoo I used this guide for the encryption setup & the Gentoo Handbook for everything else. If there is anything I might have overlooked that could be causing these problems, I would be very grateful for a suggestion. |

Interesting.
What user groups is your user in? From your regular user account try the groups command, you should get a similar (but probably not the same) output like this:
| Code: | username@host ~ % groups
wheel video libvirt plugdev username |
If you're using udisks and polkit for mounting devices, you'll want to be in the plugdev group, without it you'll get the error you described. For shutdown / reboots you may need wheel.
It sounds to me you might have missed the final steps?

Hey,
Thank you for your response!
My user is in the following groups:
| Code: | florian@floriangentoo ~ $ groups
wheel video usb users plugdev vboxusers pipewire florian |
I have installed acct-group/plugdev very early during the installation, because I wanted to install Network Manager.
I am also in group wheel, because I use sudo. |

Hmm. Starting with the basics:
Did you make any changes to the polkit or dbus configuration files? If yes, what did you change?
I assume dbus is running?
| Code: |
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:[..]
|
As long as you get something from this, it's running. This should be setup automatically by your desktop environment.
Did you use a desktop profile? Desktop profiles automatically set the "policykit" use flag, but it's possible to not be set if not using a desktop profile.
Check with:
| Code: | | $ euse -I policykit |
You should get a list with installed packages matching the use flag.
If not, edit /etc/portage/make.conf and add "policykit" to your global use flags. And then run "emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world". |

No, I didn't change the configuration files.
dbus is running.
| Code: |
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-11ioavDSkR,guid=6fb06832d6c4e5dd05539eff6713b119
|
I did chose the "default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/systemd (stable)" Profile.
Policykit is set & used.
Custom global USE FLAGS are: "xinerama networkmanager pipewire jack pulseaudio dist-kernel -bluetooth"
Thank you once again for your response |

That's odd. Why is your dbus path in /tmp? Shouldn't it be in /run/user? Can you use systemctl at all as user?
Try:
| Code: | | $ systemctl --user status |
Does this work?
Also check, as root:
| Code: | $ systemctl status user@1000.service
$ journalctl -xru user@1000.service |
Replace 1000 with your users id. Any significant errors showing?
Also:
| Code: | | $ ls -lav /run/user/ |
This should show a directory with your user id which is owned by your user. |

Okay, I did all the things you suggested, with very interesting results:
| Code: | florian@floriangentoo ~ $ systemctl --user status
Failed to read server status: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
|
In my case the user id was exactly 1000 so I did:
| Code: |
floriangentoo ~ # systemctl status user@1000.service
○ user@1000.service - User Manager for UID 1000
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/user@.service; static)
Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/user@.service.d
└─10-login-barrier.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:user@.service(5)
|
Out of Interest I tried restarting the server:
| Code: | floriangentoo ~ # systemctl restart user@1000.service
Job for user@1000.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status user@1000.service" and "journalctl -xeu user@1000.service" for details.
|
I did what the error message suggested:
| Code: |
floriangentoo ~ # systemctl status user@1000.service
× user@1000.service - User Manager for UID 1000
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/user@.service; static)

Something is very Odd here. It seems to complain about $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. I have never heard of that. |
