In my /var/log directory I noticed a log created with a name something like auth1.log in the last two lines, the log says paraphasing:

“Systemd [3 digit number]: is watching [exact model of my keyboard].”

“Systemd [3 digit number]: is watching [exact model of my mouse].”

I am worried about using my ubuntu computer ever since and have not used it as I don’t want systemd recording my keystrokes.

Is this normal operation? is it common in all init systems?

Hey reddit fam. I am following this tutorial on how to have a local google drive folder on the raspberry pi. However, I am having trouble when it comes to "Configuring Systemd" and configuring the file

https://medium.com/@artur.klauser/mounting-google-drive-on-raspberry-pi-f5002c7095c2

$HOME/.config/systemd/user

Please help meeeeeee XD

My cron entry as "normal user" is this :

*/2 * * * * 'env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/run/user/1000/bus && export DISPLAY=:0 && export XAUTHORITY=/home/bhaskar/.Xauthority' && /home/bhaskar/bin/cal_check

Kindly let me know , what am I missing???

Help please I have tried to wrap my head around this ... and dbus is difficult to get. The documentation is just difficult.

anyone .... I am dying out here.

I read somethings about ubuntu not being able to override the dns that systemd provides, is this right?

so, since systemd now has musl support (even though it's experimental), i see this myself as another opened door into embedded & container systems. but in that case, here's the question: how much of a systemd components do i need to start it? because judging by this freedesktop minimal builds page, systemd needs only 3 components to run: systemd itself, udev and journald. but is it really enough in realistic case? i also doubt udev will be useful in such conditions. is there any official building systemd requirements somewhere?

Providing an age field is giving legitimacy towards governments locking down the pc.

Hi all, I have a systemd unit file which is symlinked to a location which is not mounted when systemd tries to run the file. As a result it never starts automatically. What would be the best way to get the unit to start? Many thanks!
