[systemd] Let services wait until X is started [solved]

orschiro · 2014-06-21 08:57:05

Hi there,

I have a quick question. I have some services that I would like to start once X is started. Is the only way to currently achieve this by using a display manager (graphical.target)?

Thanks ahead!

The problem is the login sessions...
I don't use systemd user sessions (actively) but this looks like something that could probably do what you want: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … ay_manager

Thanks rebootl!

Does that mean that the services will only wait for a started X if I automatically log in into my session, thus bypassing the login in tty?

In that case, I might consider a display manager instead as I do not want to automatically login into my system (laptop, thus to risky).

Ah sorry, I guess I just assumed the auto-login.

Is it still this issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179645 ? If yes I think #4 gives a correct way to solve this.

Marked as solved.

I eventually switched to using a display manager (lightdm) as I do not favour the sudo approach.

Thanks!
