Public bug reported:
I recently switched from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04 (full install), and it
seems that services located in ~/.config/systemd/user are not started on
user login, even if they are wanted by default.target. Services in
/etc/systemd/user are started and drop-ins in .config/systemd/user are
taken into account.
STEPS :
1. Create new user named test.
2. Login to test.
3. Run systemctl --user edit --full --force essai.service
4. Type in
[Unit]
After=default.target
[Service]
ExecStart=true
RemainAfterExit=true
Type=oneshot
ExecStop=true
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
5. Run systemctl --user enable essai.service.
6. Log out
7. Log in again (via ssh in my case)
EXPECTED :
systemctl --user is-active essai.service reports active.
OBSERVED :
systemctl --user is-active essai.service reports inactive.
MORE INFO :
systemctl --user is-enabled essai.service reports enabled.
systemctl --user is-active default.target reports active.
essai.service can be manually started and is then reported as active.
