Dear maintainer,
please document how to use per-user systemd --user services.
- how to do that for a login console
- how to do that for an X session
(If there is any difference.)
Steps I done:
sudo apt-get install libpam-systemd dbus
sudo loginctl enable-linger user
Drop the service in /etc/systemd/user/mytest.service.
systemctl --user enable mytest
'ps aux | grep systemd' shows that 'systemd --user' is running.
Manual 'systemctl --user start mytest' works for me. But it is never
automatically started.
After reboot, 'systemctl --user status mytest' always shows loaded,
enabled, inactive, dead.
I might be doing something wrong. Please consider documenting how to do
that.
Cheers,
Patrick

So, the problem is not the location of the mytest.service unit, but that
the above unit uses WantedBy=multi-user.target (incorrectly) and second
one WantedBy=default.target (correctly)
For user services, there is not multi-user.target or graphical.target,
only a default.target where the units should hook into.
This is sufficiently documented in the man pages imho, see e.g. man
systemd.special, so I'm closing this bug report.
Regards,
Michael
