For systemd be aware of certain environment variables, I usually use a drop-in config in /etc/systemd/system/user@service.d. This way, I can see the varibale when running $ systemctl --user show-environment
Now I am wondering why not using the /etc/systemd/user.conf for these variables. I tried this: ...... DefaultEnvironment=DISPLAY=:0 RXVT_SOCKET=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/urxvt-hortensia TOTO=me ........ Unfortunately, ------------------------------------------------------------- gabx@hortensia ➤➤ ~ % systemctl --user show-environment DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/dbus/user_bus_socket DISPLAY=:0 TOTO=me HOME=/home/gabx LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LOGNAME=gabx MAIL=/var/spool/mail/gabx PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin RXVT_SOCKET=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/urxvt-hortensia SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh USER=gabx XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 ------------------------------------------------------------ the path is not recognized, even if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is a known variable. Please note that DISPLAY and TOTO are recognized I am wondering what I am doing wrong with RXVT_SOCKET ?
