New comment by ohlookitsaaron on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25587#issuecomment-708499398 Comment: I had issues like this for a while on void linux. I've found that if you're using elogind, you do not want it started as a system service. Rather, you'll want to install elogind-dbus replacing the traditional dbus package. After that's installed, when dbus starts as a system service, it will start elogind automatically without needing a service. Check htop or a similar program to make sure elogind is actually running too. Read more here in the [Void Documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html?highlight=elogin). Hope this helps!
