[SOLVED] Issue with setting environment variables in bspwm

neopium · 2021-02-21 14:08:24

Hi,

I'm having trouble running Intellij Idea, a Java-based application. It was running just fine a few months ago, but when I tried to launch it today, the screen was grey.

This is due to Java not properly reparenting windows on WM it doesn't know (I use BSPWM).

This issue is described in the Arch Wiki.

To solve the issue, you just need to add environment variables in the proper files.

- For jre7-openjdk or jre8-openjdk, append the line export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 in /etc/profile.d/jre.sh. Then, source the file /etc/profile.d/jre.sh or log out and log back in.
- For last version of JDK append line export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit in ~/.xinitrc before exec window manager.

In order to know which one was relevant to solve my issue, I first tried to export the variables manually. Exporting the _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING variable in a terminal and launching Intellij from the same terminal actually works, while manually exporting the AWT_TOOLKIT variable does not. This is strange, as I run Java 11.

Anyway, this is the variable that works so I went on and changed the /etc/profile.d/jre.sh and rebooted the machine.

(As an side remark, I'm not comfortable editing a file that says "do not change"... Won't it be overwritten during a future update?)

# Do not change this unless you want to completely by-pass Arch Linux' way
# of handling Java versions and vendors. Instead, please use script `archlinux-java`
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1

However, this does not seem to work. On a new terminal, typing the following command returns an empty line.

echo $_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING

I guess the /etc/profile.d/jre.sh file is not executed at startup, which is why the variable is not set.

I use LightDM, and it automatically logs my user in upon startup, so I looked at /etc/lightdm/Xsession:

[...]
# Load profile
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Loading profile from $file";
        . "$file"
    fi
done
[...]

It seems LightDM does run anything under /etc/profile.d/.

But even when I add the `export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1` command in my $HOME/.profile file, the variable is not set.

There seems to be something wrong in the way my session is started and how configuration files are executed. Could you please help me figure it out?

Indeed don't use a distro controlled file to add environment variables.
Instead add some /etc/profile.d/mystuff.sh and the export there. Make sure the file is set 644 (readable by you)
Files in /etc/profile.d are supposed to be sourced by /etc/profile, so ensure that file wasn't compromised and contains

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
        for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
                test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
        done
        unset profile
fi

Ok, I just did that. I created a new /etc/profile.d/java_reparenting.sh with only the variable export command.

Maybe the Wiki should be updated, by the way.

Files in /etc/profile.d are supposed to be sourced by /etc/profile, so ensure that file wasn't compromised and contains [...]

I checked and /etc/profile contains those lines.

I rebooted and typed:

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ echo $_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ source /etc/profile
[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ echo $_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING
1

This means the /etc/profile works, but it's not called by LightDM. How do I trace back the startup sequence to know what is called and what is not ?

Check the output of

grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

contains

[Seat:*]
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession

If it does post the contents of /etc/lightdm/Xsession.

neopium · 2021-02-21 15:20:07

It does :

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[LightDM]
run-directory=/run/lightdm

greeter-setup-script = /usr/bin/numlockx on
[Seat:*]
xserver-command=X -bs -core
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
autologin-user=ben
autologin-user-timeout=0

[XDMCPServer]

[VNCServer]

My full Xsession file is:

#!/bin/sh
#
# LightDM wrapper to run around X sessions.

echo "Running X session wrapper"

# Load profile
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Loading profile from $file";

    fi
done

    fi
done

        echo "Loading keymap: $file"
        setxkbmap `cat "$file"`
        XKB_IN_USE=yes
    fi
done

# Load xmodmap if not using XKB
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
    for file in "/etc/X11/Xmodmap" "$HOME/.Xmodmap"; do
        if [ -f "$file" ]; then
           echo "Loading modmap: $file"
           xmodmap "$file"
        fi
    done
fi

unset XKB_IN_USE

# Run all system xinitrc shell scripts
xinitdir="/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d"
if [ -d "$xinitdir" ]; then
    for script in $xinitdir/*; do
        echo "Loading xinit script $script"
        if [ -x "$script" -a ! -d "$script" ]; then

        fi

LightDM login window is displayed. I login, open a terminal:

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ echo $_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING

Not working

*grummel*…

What if you swap out bspwm for openbox?

neopium · 2021-02-21 16:22:18

I don't have openbox installed, but I'm not sure the fact that lightDM does not run the Xsession file is related. Or is it? I think bspwm is run *after* lightDM...

I looked at the lightDM log. First thing that seems strange is that the /var/log/lightdm/ folder is a root folder with 600 rights (not readable by user). But maybe that's normal, idk.

Appart from the DBus error, everything looks fine. I don't see the messages from the Xsession file (e.g. echo "Running X session wrapper"), but maybe they are logged somewhere else...

seth · 2021-02-21 16:27:24

I don't have openbox installed

So?

lightDM does not run the Xsession file is related. Or is it? I think bspwm

We don't really know that and I'd like to ensure that your session doesn't just wipe the environment and rebuild it itself.

[+9.70s] DEBUG: Creating shared data directory /var/lib/lightdm-data/ben

Look at ~/.xsession-errors but the log says that /etc/lightdm/Xsession is used as session wrapper.

Try creating /usr/share/xsessions/test.desktop with the following contents

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Test
Comment=Test Session
Exec=sh -c 'env > /tmp/env.txt'
Icon=
Type=Application

Execute that session and see if /tmp/env.txt is created and what is in it.

I though it would be complicated and require gazillions of dependencies...

Turns out it does not , so I did install it.

... And it works

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ echo $_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING
1

So the problem *is* related to bspwm

I tried that. Selected that Test session in LightDM, logged in. Black screen then back to LightDM. Logged in with BSPWM, there's no /tmp/env.txt file

~~If bspwm was restarted that looks like it would clean the environment https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm/bl … pwm.c#L308~~
Edit:
No that was wrong.

Is the shell directly started by bspwm?

Ie. you likely start the terminal w/ some sxhkd shortcut?
Which and what does it run how.
And what is the sxhkd and bspwm environment?

It's there for bspwm & sxhkd - how exactly do you launch the terminal that doesn't have the variable and what shell (absh/zsh) do you launch in it and what does its rc look like (bashrc/zshrc)?

This is how I launch a terminal (from sxhkd.rc):

# terminal emulator
super + Return
	kitty --single-instance

The shell is bash:

[ben@Solgaleo ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

Arch Linux
