+ [Impact]
+ * ZSys user autosave feature was trying to save GDM users on systems that
don’t have their GDM session teared down after logged in (nvidia binary driver).
+ * The saving was failing as no GDM dataset was created.This was only visible
in logs:
+ mai 12 09:41:27 casanier zsysd[48398]: gdm
+ mai 12 09:41:27 casanier zsysctl[48826]: level=error msg="couldn't save state
for user \"gdm\":user \"gdm\" doesn't exist"
+ mai 12 09:41:27 casanier systemd[2480]: zsys-user-savestate.service: Main
process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
+ mai 12 09:41:27 casanier systemd[2480]: zsys-user-savestate.service: Failed
with result 'exit-code'.
+ mai 12 09:41:27 casanier systemd[2480]: Failed to start Save current user
state periodically.
+
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install the new ZSys on a machine which gdm session doesn’t tear down
+ 2. Wait for 5 minutes after boot so that the autosave user timer is
triggered.
+ 3. Check the logs: the timer isn’t ran for gdm user.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ * The fix is about adding ConditionUser=!@system to the systemd user
autosave features, so that any user with UID < 1000 (which are the users we
don’t create user datasets for) are not considered.
+ * The failure was silent for most of users who don’t look at the logs.

We should avoid by default logging user ID < 1000 but root rather than
outputting an error.
