elogind 239.3-1 doesn't start user session

I just got bit by this one which can be very nasty since anything that depends/uses logind will break on you. I have yet to verify if it's an upstream issue or a packaging thing (need to do more testing), but I thought I should at least warn some people. The newest elogind did not execute properly and trying to start it with run (sudo sv start elogind) would simply timeout and the service would stay down. When running "loginctl", instead of listing a user session it said:
Code: [Select]
launch helper exited with unknown return code 127

For now, the workaround is to either just downgrade elogind in your cache or alternatively you can build elogind yourself from master. I can't imagine I'm the only one that will be hit by this, so beware.

Okay I think I see the problem. It's not upstream. Building v239.3 straight from the source works. I think the built package somehow got corrupted while being pushed to the repos. I ran makepkg on the PKGBUILD and installed elogind+libelogind that way. I had no problems running the service and also noticed that both the checksums and the filesize of the package I built myself are different than what's in the system repo.

System repo's elogind's sha256sum:
Code: [Select]
cb8b3193420a3b81dc4bd11476f42d89ff91ab2f44dfed6ea64494c64e322802
(792K)

The one built from the PKGBUILD:
Code: [Select]
55c804a49b5cee435c58a7d9e10f358b01c9c83a7749976308b1301988c69602
(804K)

I believe the elogind package that is in the repo is incorrect and should be rebuilt and reuploaded.

I downgrade elogind and libelogind, because Vbox error now im lost.
vbox is not working after the downgrade of elogind.

Note that sha256sum will be different per build depending on its package's .BUILDINFO file.
For example, my sha256sum of recently-built elogind-239.3-1 is 098d103c8bd8c45f13b54a7d87a6bf1c37cd507e52512e94afd2956db199024e

Also, with elogind package from system, can you see the logs from the runsvdir process if anything happened with elogind in particular? Just the ps output should be enough.

Oh duh you're right, I forgot about .BUILDINFO differences. Still, I don't think the package sizes should be different though right?

I think I might be doing something wrong here (I just did runsvdir -P /etc/runit/sv/elogind), but this is what I got from runsvdir.
Code: [Select]
runsv supervise: fatal: unable to lock supervise/lock: temporary failure

ps -A doesn't show anything regarding elogind at all (which makes sense because the process doesn't even start).

ps -A doesn't show anything regarding elogind at all (which makes sense because the process doesn't even start).

Just do ps aux | grep runsvdir. The COMMAND field should give you something.

And no. runsvdir -P /etc/runit/sv/elogind won't work since it will only work for full services directory (e.g. /run/runit/service)

Or install "audit"  because a dependency for libaudit.so.1 has crept in there, perhaps picked up from the build environment somehow. Nice to find audit available as a package anyway  ;D

Re: elogind 239.3-1 doesn't start user session

Got bit by this one just now after system update. On reboot, I encountered error during open-rc starting services stating...
Code: [Select]
* Starting elogind ...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `//usr/lib/elogind/elogind'
* ERROR: elogind failed to start

A quick fix to /etc/conf.d/elogind to remove the extra slash and I tried starting the service again. Still a fail.

I attempted to start elogind manually from the command line...
Code: [Select]
# /usr/lib/elogind/elogind -D
and was greeted with an error message stating that libaudit.so.1 was missing.

A quick pacman search lead me to...
Code: [Select]

Installed system/audit. Tried starting elogind service again... and success.
The elogind package has upstream problems.

But here's the thing, I don't need audit if I build it from source myself. Directly from git master, the V239 branch, or even the PKGBUILD from the gitea repo. I'm using 239.3 without audit installed right now. The mysterious audit dependency only occurs if I use the package from the repo and I have no idea why. It's almost as if the elogind package in the repo was built using a different PKGBUILD than the one in the gitea repo.

I don't think there's anything wrong upstream. I think something went weird with the packaging.

I moved elogind too early in system while dbus is still in gremlins, which has the audit depend.

Anyway, please note, that if you use makepkg on your system, a lot of configure or meson builds autoset some feature, ie makepkg does not produce deployable builds for repos. It always depends what is installed on your system if you use makepkg.

Can you explain that a bit more for me ?

I was under the impression, that so long as a PKGBUILDS's 'requires=' is complete and correct then the package should work on any system with the correct architecture . I know that if you have very specific processor flags set in makepkg.conf then the resulting binaries may not work on other machines with a different processor / extensions.  But where generic flags are used, x32 or x64, then the package should work on any machine that is either x32 or x64 as applicable

I thought the "configure or meson builds autoset some feature" was, or should be, controlled by the PKGBUILD ?

When I used to maintain some PKGBUILDS's for arm developer boards (Odroid mainly) I used to build in a clean Chroot (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot) to make sure I was not missing dependencies)

Sorry to go a bit off topic, and not saying you are wrong. Just that I don't understand :)

Artix packages are all built in chroot.

Suppose some software autidetects a library during build.
With makepkg, this library/feature would eventually get enabled, if you have this library installed.
With chroot, if this library is not in the depends or makedepends, it would get disabled.
Chroot is isolated build environment, while normal user system is not, it depends what the user has installed

Cheers  :)
I realise now I'd half answered my own question.
Crystal clear again.
I'm just hard of thinking sometimes !

And now, all is fixed with 293.3-3. Awesome.
