Description Sylvain Pasche 2015-11-16 22:29:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

systemd 222 on Fedora 23 is affected by this issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/337 (which has been fixed upstream since then).

As a consequence, you can't run tmux or screen as a user inside a systemd-nspawn container. It used to work fine on Fedora 22.

It would be nice if the patch from https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/337 could be backported on f23 to avoid breaking that workflow.

I tried backporting this patch on top of 222-8 and I can confirm it fixes the issue:
