 Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2022 4:44 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] SDDM doesn't run scripts in xdg/autostart |
 |
|
I'm using SDDM to start Sway wm on my machine. I have recently installed pipewire, and the Gentoo guide mentioned that I don't need to do any configuration to start pipewire during boot (since I use SDDM). However, I noticed that pipewire doesn't autostart, so I checked "/etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire.desktop". The file runs gentoo-pipewire-launcher as it should, so I tested with another .desktop file and noticed the problem was that xdg/autostart wasn't working. How do I enable SDDM to work with xdg/autostart?
/etc/sddm.conf: https://pastebin.pl/view/278d1e0f
Just in case something's also wrong with piprewire, here's the output of gentoo-pipewire-launcher: https://pastebin.pl/view/e12e95d7

SDDM's job is to log you in and start a session. It does not do autostart, that's normally handled by the desktop environment (KDE, GNOME, LXQt, etc)
Sway apparently doesn't support that out-of-the-box: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1423 |

pipewire can be started from sway config | Code: | $ grep pipe .config/sway/config
exec pipewire |

Got it. The Gentoo website only mentions a display manager is needed, no I didn't think a DE was also needed. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire
I managed to get it working by starting it using Sway. |
