Archlinux 3.16.3
systemd 216-3
startx at login prompt. No DM
I am slowly trying to use systemctl --user facilities.
Until now, I am able to start few basic user services. Now it is time
to start Xorg as a user service, but I can't manage to do it. As
documentation is currently very sparse, I must admit I am a little
lost when it comes to write the unit files. I can't even know if it is
feasible.
I have tried all kinds of things in my xorg.service file. Below are
two ways among others.
---
[Unit]
Description=Xorg server at display :0
Requires=xorg.socket
After=xorg.socket
[Service]
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/Xorg.bin -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR
--
Results are usually failed status. Here are some logs:
---

I even tried to set $XDG_VTNR variable this way:
$ systemctl --user set-environment XDG_VTNR=1
