Regreet not detecting greetd at boot
wikiker opened this issue · 4 comments
When updating my NixOS, which included upgrading greetd to the latest version, I noticed a problem with regreet. When started by greetd at boot, I get the following error:
ERROR regreet: panicked at src/client.rs:42:13:
Missing environment variable 'GREETD_SOCK'. Is greetd running?
But when I restart the greetd service, regreet starts just fine; so the problem is only at boot.
My greetd config is this:
services.greetd =
let
sway-config = pkgs.writeText "greetd-sway-config" ''
exec dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK
bindsym Mod4+m exec swaynag \
-t warning \
-m 'What do you want to do?' \
-b 'Poweroff' 'systemctl poweroff' \
-b 'Reboot' 'systemctl reboot'
input * {
xkb_layout "cz"
}
output DP-1 pos 0 0
output HDMI-A-2 disable
exec "${pkgs.greetd.regreet}/bin/regreet; swaymsg exit"
include /etc/sway/config.d/*
'';
session = {
command = "${pkgs.sway}/bin/sway --config ${sway-config}";
user = "greeter";
};
in
{
enable = true;
settings = {
default_session = session;
initial_session = session;
# terminal.vt = 1;
};
};
Sounds like greetd isn't started properly at boot, since it's not exporting the GREETD_SOCK environment variable that greetd greeters need. Can you check your bootloader/greetd setup?
I think you're supposed to use this: https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=24.05&show=programs.regreet.enable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=regreet
Oh I see where the issue is:
initial_session = session;This is for a user session, like
[initial_session]
command = "Hyprland"
user = "max_ishere"Basically remove initial session, and just have default session
