https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215845 Bug ID: 1215845 Summary: displaymanager.service does not restart on failure Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: gfx-bugs@suse.de Reporter: seife@novell.slipkontur.de QA Contact: gfx-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- seife@strolchi:~> rpm -qf /usr/lib/systemd/system/display-manager.service xdm-1.1.14-4.3.x86_64 seife@strolchi:~> grep OnFai /usr/lib/systemd/system/display-manager.service OnFailure=plymouth-quit.service I killed the lightdm login screen with ctrl-alt-backspace and it did not come back again. Investigating, I found this in the journal: Sep 30 18:34:57 strolchi lightdm[1475]: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session closed for user lightdm Sep 30 18:34:57 strolchi systemd[1]: session-1.scope: Deactivated successfully.

Sep 30 18:34:58 strolchi systemd[1]: display-manager.service: Failed to enqueue OnFailure= job, ignoring: Unit plymouth-quit.service not found. Sep 30 18:34:58 strolchi systemd[1]: display-manager.service: Consumed 1.290s CPU time. I think however that the OnFailure failure is not the reason for the problem but that the display-manager.service should have a "Restart=on-failure" line. current tumbleweed, xfce4 desktop, lightdm login manager strolchi:~ # head -3 /etc/os-release NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20230927" ID="opensuse-tumbleweed" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
