[systemd-devel] really strange behaviour after using machinectl shell

[Michał Zegan]

Hello.

I encountered a really strange behaviour, and I am not sure if this is 
kernel, systemd or arch specific. Could you please try to explain to me 
what happens there? Here it is:
I log into gnome desktop using the x server, x erver is running on tty2, 
everything works. I run a terminal emulator.
In the terminal I say: machinectl shell
I enter my password and I log in as root/gain a shell. I type exit to 
exit shell.
I press ctrl+c at the bash prompt after leaving root shell. result: x 
server is killed/interrupted, probably receives the sigint signal as if 
the tty driver regained partial control over keyboard.
Like, the gui works properly at least keyboard does (I am blind so I 
don't know if the screen does not switch to a text mode), but pressing 
ctrl+c probably goes to the vt and so interrupts the foreground process 
there, the xorg x server.
