Re: Manual start of user@<uid>.service failed with permission denied

Hi Luca,

 

Sorry, for late reply, below is a log with debug. This time I run with a user with higher UID, but the result is the same.

 

root@host:~# systemd-analyze set-log-level debug

root@host:~# systemctl set-environment XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1001"

root@host:~# systemctl start user@1001.service

Job for user@1001.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

See "systemctl status user@1001.service" and "journalctl -xeu user@1001.service" for details.

root@host:~# journalctl -xeu user@1001.service
