For now, I don't have a problem typing "startx" after the few times a year that I reboot. Hopefully we'll all be using Wayland by then anyway. if you haven't done this already, you need to start by reading up on the Beginners Guide in the Wiki.
#Arch linux startx install#
I guess I need to learn more about systemd, logind, and what exactly a "session" is before I try to devise a better solution. You have to choose to install X and then a window manager of your choice.

Also note that there is no official approach yet. I doubt that your service will work, it does not solve the session permissions. I've already run systemctl -user enable startx. ~/.config/systemd/user/startx -user start startx works, the only problem is getting it to work automatically at login. I'd like to add it to the wiki once I figure it out. Murukesh ( talk) 17:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Ĭan this be done with systemctl -user? I think this method could be advantageous over the methods listed already, as it is shell-independent. Is this the right behaviour, or am I doing something wrong? Should we change the note to Thus, whenever I log in via SSH, startx is executed. The note suggests using -lt, but in an SSH login, XDG_VTNR is unset, and the less-than comparison succeeds. If you are going to make significant changes to pages that have an impact on people's ability to, among other things, login to an active session, please discuss them beforehand.
