Hello,

I'm running redshift on arch linux and I want to use it by doing:
systemctl --user enable redshift-gtk
When I reboot and login (GDM+Gnome) redshift is not started. I look in logs:

dmesg | grep redshift
[   34.916805] redshift-gtk[617]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fec6f55c849 sp 00007ffd85aa24d0 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.1800.2[7fec6f2a2000+70e000]

(I believe this happens 5 time because of 4 retries that systemd does, but correct me if I'm wrong)

There seems to be a segfault in libgtk, but when I execute systemctl --user start redshift-gtk everything runs ok. I am also running arch' latest version of systemd that has the XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY set through a script. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#DISPLAY_and_XAUTHORITY)

Let me know how I can help resolve this.

It would definitely be great to have a backtrace from gdb. I'm not sure how to go about obtaining such a backtrace when the crash only happens as it is started from systemd. Perhaps somebody here knows a good way to debug this? Also, this issue is probably not specific to Redshift. Maybe ask the people at Arch Linux or GTK+ if they can help solving this?

Thanks for the quick reply, I will take a look at getting gdb to spit out a backtrace when running from systemd. I'll come back on this in some time when I figure this out with help of Arch user forum!

Same here:

The crash seems to happen because the DISPLAY environment variable is initially undefined in the user manager environment when redshift-gtk.service is started after login.

systemd uses a special xinitrc.dscript to import DISPLAY later on: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/xorg/50-systemd-user.sh, but redshift-gtk.service doesn't wait for that.

There is a special systemd target named graphical-session.target (documentation). Looks like redshift-gtk.service should have a relation to this target. According to documentation, this code in redshift-gtk.service:

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

should be changed to

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical-session.target

However, there needs to be support for graphical-session.target in the desktop environment. If the DE doesn't know about this target, the target and redshift-gtk.service won't be activated at all. For example, on my Xfce desktop:

> systemctl --user status graphical-session.target
● graphical-session.target - Current graphical user session
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session.target; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd.special(7)

In such cases it may be possible to create a custom target unit that BindsTo=graphical-session.target and then start this unit manually in the Session and Startup dialog.

Another possible solution might be to keep redshift in the disabled state when DISPLAY is not set. Does that sound reasonable? That won't require any special support or a reliance on systemd functionality.

I updated my comment above to include a clarified description of the problem and intended solution.

Current workarounds are to either use redshift.service instead or to start redshift-gtk manually using the startup facilities of the desktop environment.

@mwstobo If I understood what you meant, the environment is inherited from the user manager when the unit is started, and doesn't change later.

I'm still running into this. Are there plans to offer a better fix?

*Edit: Actually I think I might be running into something else. I get this same core dump even when starting redshift-gtk manually via systemctl.

Are there plans to offer a better fix?

Night mode in GNOME 3 with GDM works pretty well. With LightDM or older versions of GNOME there were problems (I'm not sure what was the root).

@fictionic

That's not super helpful, as I don't want to use GNOME. I want to use redshift.

@fictionic

@andreyv Do you think this is still caused by the DISPLAY issue? I can run redshift-gtk with no issue by itself, it's only when it's invoked by systemd

@andreyv

andreyv commented Dec 4, 2019

Exactly — see #265 (comment) for explanation.

@fictionic
Copy link

That only explains why it doesn't work when auto-started by systemd. It doesn't explain why it doesn't work when manually running systemctl --user start redshift-gtk. Do you know what might cause that?

That works for me. Probably in your case DISPLAY isn't imported at all — check if the 50-systemd-user.sh script is really run. Also check systemctl --user show-environment.

@fictionic
Copy link

Aha! Looks like that script is not being run somehow. Do you what might cause this? I'm starting X with just a regular startx.

Your xinitrc should include xinitrc.d/*.sh files. Your desktop environment probably has its own version of xinitrc. See xinit(1).
