Unable to open display there looks like a problem... X needs to be running when you start the service.

i use command 'startx' to start i3wm , then i start kinto

but i can't presee any key ,then i stop kinto by use mouse , i can press keys

the kinto log error is

I don't know if that will actually work... it could be that the problem is you have two X servers running and it's picking the wrong one? I'm not sure how xrdp works on Linux.

now i only startx and start kinto application (xrdp service is enable and runing ) , not use mstsc from other machine ,

it have the same problem

@ifnk Can you check the service file for xkeysnail and tell me what the Environment= key has set?

I had a similar issue: and creating an override(drop-in) for that key, to point to the actual $DISPLAY, worked for me.

@rbreaves: does kinto (on install) use the current $DISPLAY and hardcode it into the service file?
