Hi Maxim, I currently have this (very annoying) issue on _one_ of my machines (two others work with nearly the same config). I can't login at all not via console nor ssh or sddm. I spend some time to reproduce it in a vm, but no success so far. These are the relevant messages from syslog: Dec 15 18:15:52 micha dbus-daemon[470]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) Dec 15 18:16:47 micha dbus-daemon[470]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.login1' requested by ':1.8' (uid=0 pid=899 comm="/gnu/store/ximad0zvg12r4x0x80mvym8hzg0n33jl-shadow") (using servicehelper) Dec 15 18:16:47 micha elogind[935]: elogind is already running as PID 558 Dec 15 18:17:12 micha dbus-daemon[470]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) -- How much does it cost to entice a dope-smoking UNIX system guru to Dayton? -- Brian Boyle, UNIX/WORLD's First Annual Salary Survey
