 |
|
hello, I am new at Linux and Gentoo in general. I have been trying to get either sway or river to run on it. for that I have been following these 2 links https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/River and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway
I have reached the point where I have to execute the applications and I am getting similar errors with both of them.
when executing River i get the following:
| Code: |
info:initializing server

When executing Sway i get the following
| Code: |

00:00:00.002 [wlr] [sway/server.c:56] Unable to create backend

I figure since both errors are similar it must be something external to the installation. but since I am relatively new I do not know what it could be. I would appreciate any help i can get. |

Welcome to Gentoo Forums!
Plz run
| Code: |
rc-update add elogind boot
rc-update add dbus default
|
Are you using a desktop profile?
Plz post your "emerge --info"

Yes, the error comes from libseat, which is used by wlroots, which is used by both Sway and River. Depending on how package sys-auth/seatd was installed, a helper daemon is needed, which must be already running when the compositor is launched. On Gentoo with sysvinit + OpenRC, that helper can be either the seatd daemon or the elogind daemon, and, because you have chosen a desktop profile, and that profile sets the elogind USE flag, it will be the latter.
The errors you are seeing might simply mean that the helper was not running. If you want us to check your setup, post the outputs of these two commands:
| Code: | $ emerge --pretend --verbose sys-auth/seatd
$ rc-status -a |

rc-update add elogind boot will make OpenRC automatically start the elogind daemon when the computer boots, so that it will be running when you launch either River or Sway
rc-update add dbus default is not really needed, because OpenRC will also automatically start the D-Bus daemon as a dependency of elogind.
