When switching back, it cannot become DRM master any more without the help of systemd-logind if it is not running as root. I've discussed this with Hans de Goede over dinner at FOSDEM: He had discussed this issue extensively with Lennard: 1. systemd-logind should have at least the lifetime of the Xserver if not of the system. Its restart should be delayed during an update unless it is clear no Xserver is running. (Maybe by checking the pids in /tmp/.X*-lock for mapping /usr/bin/Xorg: ls -l /proc/$xpid/map_files/ | grep -q "/usr/bin/Xorg"). There is in fact no reason to restart it unless there is a security issue somewhere. 2. systemd-logind should not crash: it is a simple enough application (much simpler than the Xserver), if it crashes it is tantamount to the Xserver crashing. 3. Anything we can do on the side of the Xserver will be kludgey. I would therefore like to close this ticket now with the fix we currently have. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
