Systemctl - Failed at step Group spawning
10,267
If somebody has similar problem then just remove User and Group from service file. I don't know why, but without them it works pretty well. So the final working service description is:
Description=Service desc
[Service]
Type=oneshot
Environment=DISPLAY=:0.0
Environment=XAUTHORITY=/home/albert/.Xauthority
Environment=HOME=/home/albert/
RemainAfterExit=true
StandardOutput=journal
ExecStart=/home/albert/.startup-script.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

I have a problem with automatic running of service. I would like to run a script after user login. Once I have succeeded, however when I tried to automatize it, I'm getting an error and I can't find a mistake.
Service:
Description=Service desc [Service] Type=oneshot Environment=DISPLAY=:0.0 Environment=XAUTHORITY=/home/albert/.Xauthority Environment=HOME=/home/albert/ User=albert Group=albert RemainAfterExit=true StandardOutput=journal ExecStart=/home/albert/.startup-script.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.target
location: /home/albert/.config/systemd/user/startup-service.service
permissions: -rw-r--r-- 1 albert albert 306 Jan 2 14:49 startup-service.service
Script
Permissions: -rwxr-x-r-x 1 albert albert 86 Jan 2 13:30 /home/albert/.startup-script.sh

I have called:
systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user enable startup-script.service systemctl --user start startup-script
And I'm trying to do it on Raspberry Pi 3. Thanks a lot for pointing me at any direction.

Folaht over 6 yearsI can't do that. I need to run my service as a user.

JiangHongTiao about 6 yearsBy the '.startup-script.sh' I'm running chrome browser and it's running under the currently logged in user. So the user 'albert' from settings above.

Folaht about 6 yearsDisregard my comment. I was able to run it as user as well despite it not explicitly stated, though I don't know how I achieved that.
-
JiangHongTiao about 6 yearsprobably it is enough when it's located in user's directory. It's just my assumption I didn't study it in detail. However it's doing what I need, so it's enough :) Thanks for your concern!

chikamichi about 6 yearsI can confirm when using --user services it binds the process to the user owning the service.
