systemd loginctl should show shomething like SESSION UID USER SEAT 1 1000 ral seat0 but the wrong /etc/pam.d/system-auth is included. /etc/pam.d/system-login would enable systemd as it has -session optional pam_systemd.so Using the local version /etc/pam.d/system-local-login there might be possible local specials included. It is essentialy the same as of now. The actual kdebase-pam files should look like: /etc/pam.d/kde --- #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-local-login account include system-local-login password include system-local-login session include system-local-login --- /etc/pam.d/kde-np --- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_permit.so account include system-local-login password include system-local-login session include system-local-login --- Reproducible: Always This bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422495 claims kdm the package to be, but it is kdebase-pam.
