elogind currently does not work on SELinux systems. Needs a policy written for it.

Comment 1 ilovekiruna 2020-07-29 15:16:52 UTC

https://gentoo.org/support/news-items/2020-06-24-xorg-server-dropping-default-suid.html encourages the use of elogind for security reasons. However, due to this bug elogind cannot be used on SELinux systems. Is anyone currently working on this bug or is there an ETA?
