The login run is byobu. When I run machinectl, I do not receive a Terminal Interface prompt. Instead, it shows a user prompt on the machine's gdm display, which is very wrong because the displayed prompt is user interactable. On the other hand, as you can see in the log above, over my ssh session, it complains about timeout. Shouldn't the tools be able to detect a local session vs a remote session ? *********************************************************** loginctl output SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 297 1000 rrs 5 1000 rrs seat0 /dev/tty2 c1 127 Debian-gdm seat0 /dev/tty1 299 1000 rrs 298 1000 rrs 4 1000 rrs seat0 /dev/tty2 6 sessions listed. *********************************************************** I think this is a bug because on my Jessie box running systemd from backports, this issue is not seen. Ofcourse that box is headless and does not have gdm installed *********************************************************** pi@pi:~$ systemctl daemon-reload ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.reload-daemon === Authentication is required to reload the systemd state.
