How to get the value before login in xdm? #20

Open spavlovich001 opened 2 weeks ago

For some reason, I can't get xprintidle to work before logging into the window manager. Is there any way to get it to work before logging into the window manager? I run xprintidle from rc.local and get no result when running xprintidle

Does it not work before you log in in the lock screen, before you start the window manager, or before you start the X server?

I'm start pc, xorg server start and run xdm. I can't log into xdm and xprintidle doesn't give information (launch xprintidle from rc.local)

cat /home/user/.dwm/scripts/startup/daemon/02_idle_shutdown.sh

echo pre >> /home/user/temp.txt
sudo -E -u user bash -c "DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/user/.Xauthority xprintidle" >> /home/user/temp.txt
# env >> /home/user/temp.txt
echo post >> /home/user/temp.txt
