Hello,
I have recently setup a host with impermanence and seem to be having some issues with systemd during a nixos-rebuild switch. Specifically systemd-logind seems to be the main issue. On a nixos-rebuild switch the messages will appear activating the configuration… setting up /etc…and then will get the error
Unable to list users with logind: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.Command ‘systemd-run -E LOCALE_ARCHIVE -E NIXOS_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER --collect --no-ask-password --pipe --quiet --service-type=exec --unit=nixos-rebuild-switch-to-configuration /nix/store/2kmvxijg5yn18gnkbji3a8qdm4z0l5nw-nixos-system-sevii01-25.11.20260211.6c5e707/bin/switch-to-configuration switch’ returned non-zero exit status 11.
Checking systemctl status systemd-logind:
Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
systemd-logind.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
systemd-logind.service: Failed with result 'resources'.
Failed to start User Login Management.
