redshift-gtk segfault when using systemd enabled

Open dhensen opened this issue 10 years ago • 21 comments

Hello,

I'm running redshift on arch linux and I want to use it by doing: systemctl --user enable redshift-gtk When I reboot and login (GDM+Gnome) redshift is not started. I look in logs:

dmesg | grep redshift

(I believe this happens 5 time because of 4 retries that systemd does, but correct me if I'm wrong)

There seems to be a segfault in libgtk, but when I execute systemctl --user start redshift-gtk everything runs ok. I am also running arch' latest version of systemd that has the XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY set through a script. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#DISPLAY_and_XAUTHORITY)

Let me know how I can help resolve this.

It would definitely be great to have a backtrace from gdb. I'm not sure how to go about obtaining such a backtrace when the crash only happens as it is started from systemd. Perhaps somebody here knows a good way to debug this? Also, this issue is probably not specific to Redshift. Maybe ask the people at Arch Linux or GTK+ if they can help solving this?

Thanks for the quick reply, I will take a look at getting gdb to spit out a backtrace when running from systemd. I'll come back on this in some time when I figure this out with help of Arch user forum!

Same here:

redshift version: 1.11

The crash seems to happen because the DISPLAY environment variable is initially undefined in the user manager environment when redshift-gtk.service is started after login.

systemd uses a special xinitrc.dscript to import DISPLAY later on: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/xorg/50-systemd-user.sh, but redshift-gtk.service doesn't wait for that.

There is a special systemd target named graphical-session.target (documentation). Looks like redshift-gtk.service should have a relation to this target. According to documentation, this code in redshift-gtk.service:

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

should be changed to

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical-session.target

However, there needs to be support for graphical-session.target in the desktop environment. If the DE doesn't know about this target, the target and redshift-gtk.service won't be activated at all. For example, on my Xfce desktop:

> systemctl --user status graphical-session.target
● graphical-session.target - Current graphical user session
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session.target; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd.special(7)

In such cases it may be possible to create a custom target unit that BindsTo=graphical-session.target and then start this unit manually in the Session and Startup dialog.

Another possible solution might be to keep redshift in the disabled state when DISPLAY is not set. Does that sound reasonable? That won't require any special support or a reliance on systemd functionality.

mwstobo avatar Oct 31 '17 21:10 mwstobo

I updated my comment above to include a clarified description of the problem and intended solution.

Current workarounds are to either use redshift.service instead or to start redshift-gtk manually using the startup facilities of the desktop environment.

@mwstobo If I understood what you meant, the environment is inherited from the user manager when the unit is started, and doesn't change later.

andreyv avatar Dec 03 '17 13:12 andreyv

I'm still running into this. Are there plans to offer a better fix?

*Edit: Actually I think I might be running into something else. I get this same core dump even when starting redshift-gtk manually via systemctl.

Are there plans to offer a better fix?

Night mode in GNOME 3 with GDM works pretty well. With LightDM or older versions of GNOME there were problems (I'm not sure what was the root).

AlexWayfer avatar Dec 03 '19 10:12 AlexWayfer

That's not super helpful, as I don't want to use GNOME. I want to use redshift.

fictionic avatar Dec 03 '19 15:12 fictionic

@andreyv Do you think this is still caused by the DISPLAY issue? I can run redshift-gtk with no issue by itself, it's only when it's invoked by systemd

fictionic avatar Dec 04 '19 02:12 fictionic

Exactly — see https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/265#issuecomment-338245748 for explanation.

andreyv avatar Dec 04 '19 07:12 andreyv

That only explains why it doesn't work when auto-started by systemd. It doesn't explain why it doesn't work when manually running systemctl --user start redshift-gtk. Do you know what might cause that?

fictionic avatar Dec 04 '19 07:12 fictionic

That works for me. Probably in your case DISPLAY isn't imported at all — check if the 50-systemd-user.sh script is really run. Also check systemctl --user show-environment.

andreyv avatar Dec 04 '19 15:12 andreyv

Aha! Looks like that script is not being run somehow. Do you what might cause this? I'm starting X with just a regular startx.

fictionic avatar Dec 05 '19 05:12 fictionic

Your xinitrc should include xinitrc.d/*.sh files. Your desktop environment probably has its own version of xinitrc. See xinit(1).

Thank you!!!
