Details

Description:
As noted in  FS#40476  (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40476), redshift and redshift-gtk fail to start with $ systemctl --user start if the option "Environment=DISPLAY=:0" isn't added to the service files' [Service] section.

See the first part of this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1417568#p1417568 for the complete details.

Additional info:
* package versions: redshift 1.9-3, 1.9.1-1
* original and corrected service files attached.

Steps to reproduce:
# pacman -S redshift
$ systemctl --user start redshift
--> nothing happens, $ journalctl -b --user-unit=redshift indicates a failed state.

* add "Environment=DISPLAY=:0" to the service files (/usr/lib/systemd/user/redshift.service & /usr/lib/systemd/user/redshift-gtk.service) [Service] section and retry to start the services --> it works.

Did you report this upstream?
Comment by Bastien Traverse (Neitsab) - Friday, 22 August 2014, 10:33 GMT
Yes I did, and it has seen some recent activity: see https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/91 (notably with an Arch fellow proposing what seems to be an acceptable solution for upstream).
