No session entry for SDDM. #6

Closed jumpinggoofballs closed 4 years ago

jumpinggoofballs commented 4 years ago

Cloned repo, ran the script, manually installed gobject-introspection to meet the depenendencies (that might also need to be fixed somehow), restarted and... Nothing. No session option to use Wayfire.

This is for SDDM on Arch. The AUR package does generate the session entry properly, and works.

A good point, we have a .desktop entry in Wayfire which could be installed.

This of course is a little difficult when installing to a different prefix. If the prefix is not /usr, then the installed .desktop file won't be picked up by SDDM.

Anyway, we could explicitly ask during the installation whether to install to the /usr/share/wayland-sessions folder, which I think should be good enough.

Either the option to install to /usr; or even just the option to have a symbolic link in /usr/share/wayland-sessions to the necessary stuff in /opt.

Btw, the following .desktop entry works for SDDM:

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/wayfire.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/opt/wayfire/bin/startwayfire
DesktopNames=Wayfire
Name=Wayfire

So just a matter of adding a question to the script as to whether to echo that text to the right location.

We just added an entry in the installation script: #10
