/var/cache/tuigreet did not exist #33

Closed iv4nux closed 3 years ago

iv4nux commented 3 years ago

Hello,

On Gentoo, I had to create /var/cache/tuigreet (ownership greetd:greetd) to have the "--remember" and "--remember-session" parameter work normally.

It may be the way my system is setup and not a tuigreet bug in itself, but that information may come in handy for others.

Thanks for the great application - Much useful to start Wayland without xorg! :-)

I encountered the same problem, thanks for sharing the solution.

I'll make sure tuigreet creates the directory if missing when I get back from vacation.

apognu commented 3 years ago

I was a bit quick in responding to this. The directory should be created when tuigreet is installed, by the package manager / installation script, since /var/cache cannot be written to by greetd.

The Gentoo port is not officially maintained by me, you should therefore contact the package maintainer (@epsilon-0).

I'll close this due to inactivity. It is my belief this should be handled by the installation scripts / package manager, and not by us.

On the other hand, it would be nice to mention this in the readme file. I had to dig through github closed issues to find why --remember stuff wasn't working.
