Whenever i try to launch a Wayland compositor such as Hyprland or Sway, it doesn't work, it seems like the problem is related to logind.

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

is logind a daemon that uses the tty?

#

its the systemd "login manager"

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

oh

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

from what i know its not really a login manager but whatever

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

then I have no idea what that is lo

#

is there anything on the journal (if you're on ext4)

#

about that issue

#

or can you show if trying to launch hyprland/sway gives any error in the terminal

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:26 PM

#

yes it does

#

i got the logs

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

show?

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

#

for some reason stuff copied from nvim doesnt paste in other windows

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

if it's on a file you can just do do wl-copy $(cat file)

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:31 PM

#

📎 message.txt

#

did it

#

this is for Hyprland

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:33 PM

#

have you tried looking up "Hyprland received signal 6 (Aborted)"?

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:33 PM

#

yeah

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:34 PM

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

yes

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:36 PM

#

hmm

#

can you give the sway error?

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

ok I tried sway as root and It launched

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

analog narwhal can you give the sway error?

yeah just a min

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

rare oyster ok I tried sway as root and It launched

oh?

#

could it be a config error?

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

I don't think so all I did was installing it and run the command

#

also how do I exit sway..

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

default config is super+Shift+e

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

oh thanks

#

I was on i3 and I used Alt as mod1

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

rare oyster I don't think so all I did was installing it and run the command

so you don't have any config for sway?

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

I don't think so

#

Ill try running hyprland as root noa

#

now

#

oh it worked

#

that's weird

analog narwhal Apr 7, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

hmm

#

what I'm assuming is it has to be an issue with your user somehow

#

cause if it was an issue with the program itself I'm almost sure it wouldn't run as sudo either

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 4:44 PM

#

I mean my user does have a hyprland config file

rare oyster Apr 7, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

for some reason it works with dbus-run-session Hyprland/sway

silver cedar Apr 7, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

rare oyster ok I tried sway as root and It launched

this implies you need to start it as root

#

or use some other means to run it as an unpriveleged user
