Hi, I'm trying to experiment with plasma+wayland, and am running into a problem with elogind, since it doesn't seem to provide its DBUS interface on the system bus. From /var/log/messages: dbus[2082]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.login1' (using servicehelper) dbus[2082]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.login1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Here's some of my emerge --info, any more data I should provide?

The dbus activation file has Exec=/bin/false, and activation via systemd obviously wont work. https://github.com/wingo/elogind/blob/master/src/login/org.freedesktop.login1.service As well, there is no init script. I'm not sure how the daemon is supposed to be started.
Good point. Comparing it to modem manager's service file which says ++++++++++ # This D-Bus service activation file is only for systemd support since # an auto-activated ModemManager would be quite surprising for those people # who have MM installed but turned off. Thus the Exec path available to # D-Bus is /bin/false, but systemd knows the real Exec path due to the MM # systemd .service file. [D-BUS Service] Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager1 Exec=/usr/sbin/ModemManager User=root SystemdService=dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service ++++++++++ I guess the thing to do how ModemManager is started on non-systemd systems and do likewise. The /var/log/messages entry looks similar though: Mar 31 18:44:07 demosthenes dbus[2082]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' (using servicehelper)
I've spoken to upstream, and they suggest swapping out /bin/false for /usr/libexec/elogind/elogind (this is what Guix does).
Thanks, works for me!
Thanks, fixed in git. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/kde.git/commit/?id=d2a267403f77c67ebf543e6bb336718b7af189a5
