Hi Ludo’ That commit made a difference but didn't fix the problem for me. After a couple of relogs since the last reboot: $ herd --v herd (GNU Shepherd) 1.0.4 Copyright (C) 2025 the Shepherd authors License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law $ pgrep shepherd 1 1491 9303 28426 $ herd status Started: + gpg-agent + root + timer + transient Running timers: + log-rotation Failed to start: ! dicod The only difference from before is that now that home dicod service fails to start on relog. Thanks Jake
