Something kills my screens

My screen sessions are getting killed when I log out. How can I prevent this?



I have already set:



KillUserProcesses=no


in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. When I log back in, I get the "wipe" option in screen. This problem is made quite apparent by another bug which forcibly logs me out every time I turn off the monitor.

          I don't know if this works on 17.10 but on 18.04 I had the same issue. It seems to be because of changes on logind cleaning up processes (preventing any user session process persisting). Apparently KillUserProcesses=no is the default in 18.04 (according to the comments in /etc/systemd/logind.conf) so instead I added my user to the KillExcludeUsers list:



          KillExcludeUsers=root YOUR_USERNAME


          Next I ran the command:



          sudo loginctl enable-linger YOUR_USERNAME


          and finally rebooted. After that my screen session would persist after a detach.

          • The second line fixed it for me, thanks! I think KillUserProcesses=no does the same as KillExcludeUsers=root YOUR_USERNAME, but it's a bit more blunt solution.
