Devs, All,
Recently across several distros there have been issues with loginctl not

Interesting - I am curious if
loginctl list-sessions
show anything useful?
Basically it shows the same thing.
I'll have to start the other two backups up later this evening (they are
loud as hell, old Supermicro 4U and 2U with a total of 12 38mm 7500 RPM fans)
On two other boxes, I get:
06:10 2pi:~> loginctl list-sessions
SESSION UID USER SEAT LEADER CLASS TTY IDLE SINCE
6 1000 david - 7423 user - no -
7 1000 david - 7429 manager - no -
2 sessions listed.
and (booting to graphical target)
06:10 valkyrie:~> loginctl list-sessions
SESSION UID USER SEAT LEADER CLASS TTY IDLE SINCE
89 620 lightdm - 11720 manager-early - no -
94 1000 david - 13259 user pts/0 no -
95 1000 david - 13266 manager - no -
c2 620 lightdm seat0 11713 greeter - no -
4 sessions listed.
and an opensuse Tumbleweed box booting to graphical target with kdm:
06:10 wizard:~> loginctl list-sessions
SESSION UID USER SEAT LEADER CLASS TTY IDLE SINCE
1 1000 david seat0 1608 user - no -
2 1000 david - 1759 manager - no -
2 sessions listed.
It also seems booting to graphical target depends on which DM is used.
lightdm seems to ensure a TTY is seen while kdm and sddm don't.
Stumbled across this issue on opensuse tumbleweed where lack of TTY broke
several of their helper scripts for posting to paste.opensuse.org where TTY
info was used to enable copy-to-clipboard.
