I'm not sure what (else) changed between 17.04 and 17.10, but this seems to be an ordering issue between `systemd --user` and ecryptfs mounting the decrypted $HOME.
Reordering pam_ecryptfs to occur before pam_systemd in /etc/pam.d /common-session appears to address the issue for me. (Note that I _think_ the order is unchanged between 17.04 and 17.10.) I independently came to the same conclusion as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1734290, which was to assign a higher priority (e.g. 1) for ecryptfs's pam-config, which seems to be sufficient. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730657 Title: systemd don't find userservice- and usertimer-files Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After an upgrade from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 i have to run “systemctl --user daemon-reload” after every reboot before the files under ~/.config/systemd/user were recognized by systemd: xxx@xxx:~$ systemctl --user list-timers --all 0 timers listed. xxx@xxx:~$ systemctl --user daemon-reload xxx@xxx:~$ systemctl --user list-timers --all NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED UNIT ACTIVATES n/a n/a n/a n/a make-borgbackup.timer make-borgbackup.service n/a n/a n/a n/a syncthing.timer syncthing.service 2 timers listed. xxx@xxx:~$ dpkg -l systemd Gewünscht=Unbekannt/Installieren/R=Entfernen/P=Vollständig Löschen/Halten | Status=Nicht/Installiert/Config/U=Entpackt/halb konFiguriert/ Halb installiert/Trigger erWartet/Trigger anhängig |/ Fehler?=(kein)/R=Neuinstallation notwendig (Status, Fehler: GROSS=schlecht) ||/ Name Version Architektur Beschreibung +++-==============-===============-============-================================= ii systemd 234-2ubuntu12.1 amd64 system and service manager This user-account has an ecryptfs-encrypted home btw.
