I am unable to use screen or tmux to keep a process running after a logout. Usually on my Linux servers I can use GNU screen to keep my process running after a logout but on Valve's Steam Deck which runs a derivative of Arch this does not work. I have already disabled the immutable root filesystem using sudo steamos-readonly disable and installed GNU screen using pacman as it was not installed by default. I can create new screen sessions with screen -S test and detach from them. screen -ls does show the screen and I am able to reattach it. After I logout and log back in does screen -ls return No Sockets found in /run/screens/S-deck. This also happens if I use tmux. Additionally if I have 2 SSH connections the moment I logout of the SSH session that created the screen do I lose the screen any the process running inside of it.

Check if KillUserProcesses=yes is set in /etc/systemd/logind.conf and if so (or if it isn't set at all), change it to no

  • Does not work. Originally all of the options in logind.conf were commented out with #.
