I switched from consolekit to elogind on my normally headless ARM box. |
| 17 |
It runs XMMS2 and outputs through PulseAudio. Under consolekit, my |
| 18 |
user's /var/run directory would disappear after a while, taking the |
| 19 |
pulse socket with it. Under elogind, I was able to set my user to |
| 20 |
"linger", which fixed the issue. It's not a typical use case but yeah, |
| 21 |
they do have uses outside of desktop. |
