How is there no such target multi-user.target in --user context?












0















I read this paragraph in a mailing list and it's confusing me:



https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67471#c11



There is no such target "multi-user.target" in --user contexts.
Use default.target in [Install]'s WantedBy= instead.


I'm aware that targets are synchronization points during a system start-up. I can see all the targets using this command:



systemctl list-units --type target


I know my default.target from using this command:



systemctl get-default
graphical.target


I'm aware that unit files placed in /etc/systemd/user/ or ~/.config/systemd/user/ can be running using systemctl --user ... if the systemd --user daemon is running and the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set.



I thought the point of the [Install] section was to configure what happens when I enable a unit.



How is there no such target in a multi-user.target in a --user context?
What does that mean?
