Subject: [Emacs 25.3.1] Running emacs daemon via systemd does not load GUI elements
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2017 18:05:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d19381a3-7b83-49c3-a64c-5d6f17835552@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi folks,
I'm executing emacs daemon via systemd using the following unit file:
[Unit]
Description=Emacs: the extensible, self-documenting text editor
Documentation=man:emacs(1) info:Emacs
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/emacs --daemon
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/emacsclient --eval "(progn (setq kill-emacs-hook
'nil) (kill-emacs))"
Environment=DISPLAY=:%i
TimeoutStartSec=0
Restart=on-failure
User=%i
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Everything works flawlessly, but I still cannot figure out how to
convince my emacsclient to display graphic elements such as the raised
buttons in Custom and image icons in Speedbar. I understand that emacs
daemon has no way to predict whether I am going to use graphical
environment so it fallbacks to the safe text-only settings. What I do
not understand is why adding following code into my ~/.emacs.d/init.el
file does not solve the problem.
(when (daemonp)
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
'(lambda (frame) (when (display-graphic-p frame)
(setq custom-raised-buttons t)
(setq speedbar-use-images t)))))
Both custom-raised-buttons and speedbar-use-images are indeed correctly
set to "t" when "emacsclient -c" creates a frame, but graphic elements
are not rendered anyway.
Cheers,
Gabriel Szasz
