🐛 Session login out intempestively

[abaudhuin]

branch

stable

Architecture

x86_64

Description

After the last update (and after a reboot) i get logged out automatically after a 1 minute or so being logged in.

I can see errors in the logs (about logind and backend) but I don't understand what could be the problem and how to solve it.

Do you have any idea what could be the issue ?

Reproduction steps

I type my password to log in, everything goes normally.

Whatever I do, after 1 minute or so it logs out after the screen flashes (even doing absolutely nothing)

Even if you have a recommendation for a temporary fix, it would be great (downgrading or other things). My laptop is unusable rn

Sadly the logs are being cut ">", so I can't read the interesting parts.

Sorry for that:

Can you check if seatd is running? systemctl status seatd ?

Also can you check if LIBSEAT_BACKEND=logind is set? (echo $LIBSEAT_BACKEND)

[abaudhuin]

Yes seatd is enabled and running, and LIBSEAT_BACKEND is set to logind

I can't reproduce this in a newly created VM. Not sure what the cause is. Feel free to come back with this if you can pin it down a bit more precisely!
