Hi, maybe someone has a similar problem or know the solution.

I normally use tuigreet to boot up my laptop.

Recently when I boot I receive the message

Code: Select all

user.greetd               | * Starting user.greetd ...
user.greetd               | * user.greetd: waiting for service (50 seconds)
user.greetd               | * user.greetd: waiting for service (40 seconds)
user.greetd               | * user.greetd: waiting for service (30 seconds)
user.greetd               | * user.greetd: waiting for service (20 seconds)
user.greetd               | * user.greetd: waiting for service (10 seconds)
user.greetd               | * ERROR: user.greetd failed to start
and then after 1 minute tuigreet starts normally.

This is my /etc/conf.d/display-manager:

Code: Select all

[terminal]
# The VT to run the greeter on. Can be "next", "current" or a number
# designating the VT.
vt = 7

# The default session, also known as the greeter.
[default_session]

# `agreety` is the bundled agetty/login-lookalike. You can replace `/bin/sh`
# with whatever you want started, such as `sway`.
command = "tuigreet -g 'Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.' -t -r --asterisks --power-shutdown 'loginctl poweroff' --power-reboot 'loginctl reboot' -c 'dbus-run-session Hyprland'"

# The user to run the command as. The privileges this user must have depends
# on the greeter. A graphical greeter may for example require the user to be
# in the `video` group.
user = "greetd"
And this is my /etc/conf.d/display-manager:

Code: Select all

CHECKVT=7
DISPLAYMANAGER="greetd"
I am currently running gui-libs/greetd-0.10.3-r1 but I reverted to an earlier version and the problem persists.

Does anybody know why is this happening?

I think it's something changed in display-manager

If you mean gui-libs/display-manager-init, that changed the other day only to add a comment for the benefit of SDDM users. It's more likely that this is an OpenRC bug which should be fixed in 0.62.2 (see bug 952108 and the other linked bugs therein). If it's not fixed with 0.62.2, please file a bug.
