[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#939510: upower.service: Failed to set up user namespacing: Invalid argument

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: upower
Version: 0.99.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

upon reboot I could not access my graphical session because upowerd was failing
to be started by systemd.

And apparently without it running sddm only shows garbage on screen.

set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[1]: Stopped Daemon for power management.
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[1]: Starting Daemon for power management...
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[950]: upower.service: Failed to set up user namespacing: Invalid argument
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[950]: upower.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/lib/upower/upowerd: Invalid argument
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[1]: upower.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[1]: upower.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
set 05 19:04:52 serenity systemd[1]: Failed to start Daemon for power management.
set 05 19:04:53 serenity systemd[1]: upower.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.
set 05 19:04:53 serenity systemd[1]: upower.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 2.

I have a long list of those.

Commenting the user namespace directive solves the issue for me.

Best
