Description of problem: Due to various issues with systemd user instances, the admin may want to mask the user@.service unit to stop spawning systemd user instances. When doing so, every time a user logs in, the following Error message is printed: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Failed to start user service, ignoring: Unit user@<UID>.service is masked. -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- This is confusing to the admin and create false alarms. This BZ is a request to backport Upstream's code, which basically hides the message when user@.service is masked: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- 340 static void user_start_service(User *u) { : 352 r = manager_start_unit(u->manager, u->service, &error, &u->service_job); 353 if (r < 0) 354 log_full_errno(sd_bus_error_has_name(&error, BUS_ERROR_UNIT_MASKED) ? LOG_DEBUG : LOG_WARNING, r, 355 "Failed to start user service '%s', ignoring: %s", u->service, bus_error_message(&e rror, r)); 356 } -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-239 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mask user@.service # systemctl mask user@.service 2. Log in as a new user
