yubikey-agent service inactive (dead)

[r1cebank]

Hi I installed this package using the AUR package and ran the following:

systemctl daemon-reload --user
sudo systemctl enable --now pcscd.socket
systemctl --user enable --now yubikey-agent

But then I realize, when the computer is rebooted, the yubikey-agent do not restart, this cause the SSH_AUTH_SOCK to not be found.

Here is the output for systemctl --user status yubikey-agent

● yubikey-agent.service - Seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/yubikey-agent.service; enabled; vend>
     Active: inactive (dead)

System information:

OS: Manjaro 20.0.3 Lysia
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.6.16-1-MANJARO

Anyhelp would be nice, thank you

I tried some solutions regarding the inactive user service, it appears if I change the target to default instead of multi-user it fixes the issue. I am wondering if this is a known issue or just how my system is. If the fix can be included in the AUR package that would be great.

I confirm the issue when you start with a local GUI login.

Setting WantedBy to default.target is indeed better as it will be (most of the time) an alias of multi-user.target or graphical.target depending on the situation.

I updated the AUR package (0.1.3-2) with the change. Note that you will to recreate the appropriate symlink with systemctl --user enable yubikey-agent.
