The error say "cannot open display". > How do I make this work, can someone please tell me? You cannot run synapse as a system service. It's an X client which needs access to your X session after you logged in. I'm not sure if it could be solved by using systemd in "--user" mode but probably at least not now. There are afforts to use systemd in user mode to spawn the xsession of the user and use it as session manager, i.e. in KDE. But currently this does not work well enough to not be complicated. So I suggest sticking synapse into your session autostart like so (as a user, not root): $ ln -snf $(which synapse) $HOME/.config/autostart/ Then logout and in again. -- Replies to list only preferred. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
