Issues with the kanshi service
Using the systemd service configuration from this page, does anyone else get a "failed to connect to display" on the kanshi.service? I didn't used to get this, months ago, so it at least used to work, and I don't think I fucked anything up. Also note that starting kanshi in a terminal emulator in sway still works just fine.
Okay, I figured out how to fix it at least, you have to start sway using systemd at the "end" of the sway configuration file like so:
exec "systemctl --user import-environment; systemctl --user start sway-session.target"
This is instead of running the startsway script provided in the wiki. I'll do a proper write up when I have more time and update the wiki page.
