[SOLVED] Autostart in KDE broke after upgrading to systemd version 258

Good afternoon.

The subject itself.
If I roll back systemd to 257.9, autostart in KDE starts working.
I also noticed that on version 258, services in /run/user/1000/systemd/generator.late aren't created from ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop . I assume that's the reason, but I don't understand why they aren't created...

P.S.: I have a laptop, also running Arch, and everything works fine there. Version 258 doesn't break autostart in KDE.

Following the advice of the systemd developers, I looked at the output of

userdbctl user wizard

and found there...

Disposition: dynamic
...
Service: io.systemd.DynamicUser

I ran

grep -rl 'DynamicUser=' /usr/lib/systemd

In the output I found the minidlna.service I was using
and everything was resolved by removing the line "DynamicUser=yes" from /usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service.

Thanks everyone.
