Please report that to your distro. g-r-d installs both a sysusers and a tmpfiles file for the user for the system daemon and its config dirs. The sysusers and tmpfiles hooks usually run on a reboot, but they also MUST run when installing the respective pkg, in particular: after the decompression of the files (post-installation hooks). This works fine on other distros, like Arch (pacman automatically detects such sysusers- or tmpfiles-file installation and runs the respective hooks for that). apt or dpkg must also be able to correctly handle this (regardless of the pkg). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064647 Title: Documentation for how to enable gnome-remote-desktop on a completly headless system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote-desktop/+bug/2064647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
