[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

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

That result is expected, that is, you shouldn't ever need or want to manually start that service. It should be running automatically as soon as you login.
Does lightdm have the systemd USE flag activated?
Also, you could try this, but consider this an "untested, may or may not work and could cause a failure in login" kind of thing and is just a theory. I don't use lightdm so have no way of checking for myself at the moment.
According to:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LightDM
Theoretically we may be able to:
| Code: |
root $ cp /etc/pam.d/lightdm /root/lightdm.bak
root $ cat /etc/pam.d/lightdm | grep pam_systemd.so
|
If that returned nothing:
| Code: |
root $ echo "session required pam_systemd.so" >> /etc/pam.d/lightdm
|
Reboot and try logging in as your user using lightdm. If you successfully get logged in go to your terminal and try "systemctl --user status" again.
If it still doesn't work or you get other login related issues:
| Code: |
root $ cp lightdm.bak /etc/pam.d/lightdm
|
I'd like to also mention, I am just a user like you, I too am prone to errors. Hence the backup.  |

I did try that, but it resulted in Problems, so I restored the backup. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your help!
The systemd Use Flag is globally set by the Profile. |

Hmm. It really should 'just work' to be honest. I took the liberty of noseying through the ebuild:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/x11-misc/lightdm/lightdm-1.32.0-r2.ebuild
Which lead me to: https://bugs.gentoo.org/372229
So.. it should absolutely be loading pam_systemd already. A slightly deeper dive lead me to /etc/pam.d/system-login - you should find pam_systemd already in this file.
I'm not sure what's going on here. The other thread spoke about downgrading polkit, which you've already tried. Did you also try going up to 125, it's worth a shot I guess? |

I actually did upgrade to Polkit-125 but that didn't work. I apologize, I should have mentioned that earlier.
I found something interesting in the file you mentioned:
| Code: | floriangentoo ~ # cat /etc/pam.d/system-login | grep pam_systemd.so
-session optional pam_systemd.so
|
"optional" instead of "required". Maybe I should change that? |

That appears to be set correctly, it matches perfectly with what is in the original stage3, and also what is on my system. So, it's probably best to leave that.
What does the system do when you try from tty? Login to your user account on tty (no gui, ctrl + alt + f6, for example) and run systemctl --user from there, does it output correctly then?
I guess another option you could try is using the stage3 to extract the /etc/pam.d/* files into your current /etc/pam.d/* directory - this would catch anything that may have gone amiss for some odd reason, though it will not include the files added by lightdm and other sources, so be sure that you do not to empty out additional files or that you have them reinstalled by the ebuilds that originally added them.
You could also check for other missing files, for example do you have /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop? Though admittedly I'm taking guesses at the moment.  |

I tried everything:
When I run systemctl --user from tty I get a "Failed to connect to bus: Kein Medium gefunden." error. ("Kein Medium gefunden" is German for "No media found".)
I checked the /etc/pam.d/ directory and compared it with the latest stage3. The files had the Identical date. Two files were older, but their content was identical.
/etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop does exist.
On my search I have found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=275801
I will try the solution out, maybe it helps. |
