Re: [systemd-devel] Help on Automatic Symlink XDG_DATA_HOME

2013-11-06 Thread systemdkiosk
Kind thanks, Zbyszek. Forgive init script habits. Systemd docs need execution flowcharts. Maybe a wiki for best practice XDG? Setting up users is basic sysadmin. Reviewing pam_env, is /etc/environment a decent place to set XDG vars? $USER works from there, yes? I guess $HOME/.pam_environment could

Might some expert address: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172220 It seems systemd pushes hard-wired paths irrespective of XDG vars, a possible bug. On this box XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME point outside $HOME, while XDG_CONFIG_HOME is the default ~/.config folder. XDG_DATA_DIRS i

Where in boot sequence tune A/V latency? Is sound.target relevant? Following advice on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ProAudio#System_Configuration I'm getting script failures and wondering why. The script runs well stand-alone. It must have boot sequencing issues. Kernel command line para

Thank you Lennart. I wonder how your tip compares to our result? Our method employs getty.target and local-fs.target. It works but we prefer the Right Thing (tm). Would systemd-user-sessions.service be better for any reason? Here's our unit as it sits. Thanks for your input. # /etc/systemd/system/
