~~The output via journalctl is:~~

Jun 11 20:40:07 hero1 systemd[1]: Started Head display on Hero's head. Jun 11 20:40:08 hero1 systemd[1]: hero1-display.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Jun 11 20:40:08 hero1 systemd[1]: hero1-display.service: Unit entered failed state. Jun 11 20:40:08 hero1 systemd[1]: hero1-display.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

While running the same executeable manually is fine and shows the UI.

~~I have no clue what is wrong right now.~~

Doesn't work, probably needs to wait till xserver. This might be helpful: https://superuser.com/questions/759759/writing-a-service-that-depends-on-xorg

Auto-start is almost working, however gnome-desktop is displayed on top. Leaves a few options:

Start after gnome-desktop/lightdm etc.
Start not via systemd by via gnome startup applications. But then we can't start/stop etc and loose journalctl output
Specify 'always-on-top' on commandline, eg. via wmctrl -r "window title" -b add,above

Not needed anymore, autostart is now done by Gnome

MatthijsBurgh commented 5 years ago

I will open an issue, for adding the autostart to the documentation.
