contributed systemd unit doesn't work in user session about yubikey-agent HOT 6 CLOSED

As a datapoint, I have the provided unit file running unmodified (other than executable path) on my machine as a user service.

I believe the capability to use particular options is distro-specific; I’m running on nixos. Indeed the systemd issue you linked says

OTOH that aspect cna change depending on all sorts of configuration, so I’m not sure how this could be documented in a way that makes sense...

I’m not sure the right solution here. I guess we want distributions to package a unit that uses at many of the given options that work, but ultimately it’s the packager’s job to make it work.

For what it's worth, I'm on NixOS 20.03.

Huh. Well i recently packaged yubikey-agent for NixOS unstable so I’m unsure what might have changed in the meantime.

I'm unsure. Do you have a different kernel (5.4.58) or systemd (243.7)? I'm happy to move NixOS conversation elsewhere.

It looks like this requires systemd/systemd@5749f85 which is in systemd v245. Let me see about fetching this from unstable.

Can confirm, using 245.6 from unstable results in the unmodified unit file working. Looking at Repology, it looks like this version is available on most of the common desktop distributions I'm aware of (backports on Debian Stable, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Fedora 32). Biggest outliers look to be NixOS 20.03 and Raspian Stable.
