We discussed on IRC that this is because *no* systemd units are being activated; the user session is not being run under systemd. This is a regression vs. unity, and should be considered a bug in the desktop session as a whole.
Reassigning this to gnome-session, which seems like the correct starting point. ** Package changed: update-notifier (Ubuntu) => gnome-session (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743366 Title: Systemd .path units are not working properly in Bionic Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Bionic the systemd .path units are not properly activated.
