### Login manager
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to log into the system, set up a login manager. For a minimal and wayland-compatible login manager use `greetd` with `gtkgreet`. Install them with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# xbps-install -Sy greetd gtkgreet-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because Wayfire gets used as window manager for this install, that also means that it can be utilised as the login greeter.
|
|
|
|
A specific wayfire bash script for greetd may be created in `/usr/local/bin`. That exports all the essential environment variables for the login session.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cp -r {config-files-repo}/wayfire/wayfire-greetd /usr/local/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also, a wayfire config may be created specific for greetd with minimal settings.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# mkdir /etc/greetd/config
|
|
# cp -r {config-files-repo}/wayfire/wayfire-greetd.ini /etc/greetd/config/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, in `/etc/greetd/config.toml` set:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
command = "wayfire-greetd -c /etc/greetd/config/wayfire-greetd.ini"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The user `_greeter` needs seatd permission for wayfire to function.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# usermod -aG _seatd _greeter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For styling of gtkgreet edit `/etc/greetd/config/gtkgreet.css`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cp -r {config-files-repo}/gtkgreet/gtkgreet.css /etc/greetd/config/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally add `wayfire-run` and possibly `bash` to `/etc/greetd/environments`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wayfire-run
|
|
bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally `kanshi` may be added in the greeter session. To obtain the right display configuration in the greeter session.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cp -r {config-files-repo}/kanshi /etc/greetd/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Greetd may then be enabled by linking it to `/var/service`. However, the best practice is to first test `greetd`. Since, with a non-functioning `greetd`, it may not be possible anymore to log into the system.
|
|
|
|
The best practice is thus to create a down file in the `greetd` service.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# touch /etc/sv/greetd/down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then linking and enabling `greetd`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# ln -s /etc/sv/greetd /var/service
|
|
# sv up greetd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `greetd` functions properly the down file may be removed.
