There is no optinality in using the correct environment which is why using services that depend on variable environments is usually the wrong approach. systemctl
has import-environment VARIABLE...
as a bit of a hack around this problem.
As for sx
, it is likely because you need to also include the XAUTHORITY
environment due to it not using the default HOME/.XAuthority
location. This is where import-environment
can help so that you don't have to hardcode the values. (You may also need DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
.)
Alternatively consider using xss-lock
directly from your sxrc
or i3 config as systemd user services interact poorly with dynamic environments like Xorg. DISPLAY
, XAUTHORITY
, etc. can change by merely switching tty if you're running more than one xserver.
PS: On Arch the example /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
sources the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh
snippet which imports DISPLAY
and XAUTHORITY
for both the systemd --user
and dbus session.
