Peter, I'm not sure if this is arch specific, but I suspect on many systemd enabled distributions. The dtlogin pam module is missing some items to allow dbus and systemctl --user to function, which means no audio, or any dbus type of activations.
I use this instead and it seems to be working well. I also add some lines to my *.dt/sessions/sessionetc*: exec /bin/systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP NO_AT_BRIDGE & exec /bin/dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP GDK_BACKEND GDK_DPI_SCALE GTK_CSD LD_PRELOAD & scottm@connor:~ % cat /etc/pam.d/dtlogin #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login account include system-login password include system-login session include system-login Cheers, and thanks again for the fixes. -- Scott On Fri, Jan 9, 2026 at 9:49 AM Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > It works!
