Run0 not working right?

Help
1

I have freshly setup NixOS 24.11

Using KDE Plasma (Konsole), fish shell (stable package).

Trying to use a separate admin user or just run0 does not work.

run0 nixos-rebuild boot
run0 -u admin

In both cases, the prompt stays the same, I do not enter a shell, it us something like

user@PC [221]

Using exit closes the Konsole tab, so I do not enter a shell. Running commands with run0 instead of sudo does not seem to work.

What does NixOS do differently so that this doesnt work?

Same problem here, but my fish prompt says the error is 224

I also have this issue. I also can not unlock my screen with i3lock. I think this is related.
run0 -u admin has a non-zero exit code which most likely leads to the i3lock problem.

There are 2 different solutions:

security.pam.services.systemd-run0 = {};

# alternatively

security.pam.services.systemd-user = {
   setEnvironment = true;
   pamMount = false;
}

I am not sure about the implications and which is more secure. This seems like a packaging issue, so this is a workaround I suppose
