Unable to select a session among multiple sessions

[LittFlower]

Describe the bug When I use tuigreet, I have both plasma(X11) and plasma(wayland) graphical protocols installed on my computer, and when I press F3, I do get to choose what I want between plasma(wayland) and plasma(x11), but when I enter my password to log in, I'm logged in to plasma(wayland) regardless of whether I choose plasma(x11) or plasma(wayland). I've tested that using startx /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 in tty will log me in to plasma(x11), so this may be a configuration issue with my tuigreet.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start the computer and go to tuigreet
2. Press on F3 and select Plasma(X11)
3. Input Username and Password, then press Enter
4. Login plasma on wayland, not x11.... however.

Expected behavior When I press F3, I have three options to choose from, Plasma(Wayland), Plasma(X11), and Hyprland, and I want to be able to choose an option that logs me into its corresponding desktop environment instead of always logging me into wayland.

System information:

• Distribution: Linux ArchLinux 6.10.8-arch1-2.1-g14 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 07 Sep 2024 06:01:43 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• greetd version: 0.10.3-1
• tuigreet version: 0.9.1-1
• Installation method (from source, package, binary, etc.): pacman
• tuigreet command line: command = "tuigreet --asterisks --issue -t --remember --width 90 --greet-align left --theme 'border=magenta;text=cyan;prompt=green;time=red;button=lavender;container=black;input=red'"

Additional context I'm guessing I should create some new sessions instead of always using the default session, it's just my guess and I think there's something wrong with the way my config file is written. but i don't know how to write it rightly.

Can you paste the content of the two session files that give you trouble for Plasma? They should be located under /sur/share/xsessions and /sur/share/wayland-sessions respectively.

[LittFlower]

just like this:

╭─flower at ArchLinux in ~ 24-09-22 - 19:11:20
╰─○ ls /usr/share/xsessions
dusk.desktop  plasmax11.desktop
╭─flower at ArchLinux in ~ 24-09-22 - 19:11:23
╰─○ ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions
hyprland.desktop  plasma.desktop

[apognu]

Can you show the content of the two Plasma desktop files?

[LittFlower]

Of course.

x11.txt wayland.txt

Due to github's limitations on suffixes for uploaded files, I renamed these two files to wayland.txt and x11.txt, which correspond to Plasma(Wayland).desktop and Plasma(X11).desktop

[LittFlower]

emmm... I mean that I can login the Plasma(wayland) through the tuigreet, however, I cannot login the Plasma(X11) or Hyprland through the tuigreet 's F3.... Because whether I choose the Plasma(x11) or Hyprland or not, I cannot login what I chose, I always login the Plasma(Wayland).

Another truth is that I can log in Plasma(X11) by startx /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 and Hyprland by Hyprland in tty. So... I guess that the content of the two Plasma desktop files are right......

[apognu]

When you say that you "cannot login", what do you mean? Do you have an error? Does tuigreet exit and starts again?

From the logs, it looks like tuigreets does what it is supposed to do, signals greetd to start hyprland and exits. What does greetd tell you?

[LittFlower]

When I say that I "cannot login", I mean I cannot login the Hyprland or Plasma(X11), but I can login them from tty by Hyprland or startx /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/startplasma-x11. I think I donot have any error because I will login Plasma(Wayland) however.

you can also see that:

I mean that when I choose Hyprland or Plasma(X11), I always login Plasma(Wayland). I don't know why....

This is my greetd log.

[LittFlower]

From the logs, it looks like tuigreets does what it is supposed to do, signals greetd to start hyprland and exits.

But the greetd didn't start the hyprland but started the Plasma(Wayland) and exited....
