Description

Coordinates access to local input and display devices for compositors, login sessions, and desktop components that need seat management. It helps non-root graphical sessions handle keyboards, mice, GPUs, and session ownership in a controlled way.

It is a background system component, not a desktop app. Incorrect service or permission setup can prevent graphical sessions from starting or accessing input devices, so administrators should change it carefully.

How to run

seatd.service
