Bug#1133191: libseat1: fails to switch VTs in sway

Show all headers | View raw

Package: libseat1
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

switching VTs from sway via CTRL+ALT+F<N> is not possible anymore. I see the following emitted by sway.

error:

```
02:18:26.629 [ERROR] [wlr] [libseat] [libseat/backend/logind.c:202] Could not switch session: Access denied as the requested operation requires interactive authentication. However, interactive authentication has not been enabled by the calling program.
02:18:27.025 [ERROR] [wlr] [libseat] [libseat/backend/logind.c:202] Could not switch session: Access denied as the requested operation requires interactive authentication. However, interactive authentication has not been enabled by the calling program.
```

Additionally switching VTs via `chvt` works as expected. Probably the
latest systemd has become more strict in terms of required
authentication.

Thanks!

Jan
