issue exiting hyprland

[Masber]

Dear Hyprland community,

I just manually built Hyprland from master branch (7564b26b7d386d248eaa47c1a481c09eefd8e3ca) on my Ubuntu 24.10 host,

I realised an issue when exiting Hyprland with the hyprctl dispatch exit command.

• The issue is GDM is not in a good state because login screen does not show the cog wheel at the bottom right corner where I can chose the window manager to start
• when I login it goes straight to Gnome
• The environment doe snot seems right. If I try to start my terminal (alacritty) I get the following error

❯ alacritty
Error: Os(OsError { line: 786, file: "/home/msopena/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/winit-0.29.15/src/platform_impl/linux/mod.rs", error: Misc("neither WAYLAND_DISPLAY nor WAYLAND_SOCKET is set; note: enable the `winit/x11` feature to support X11") })

The workaround to this is to reboot the machine instead of using hyprctl dispatch exit but it would be nice if Hyprland could gracefully exit and take the user to GDM

thank you very much

I tried building hyprland from sources but using a release branch

❯ hyprctl version
Hyprland, built from branch  at commit 4520b30d498daca8079365bdb909a8dea38e8d55  (version: bump to 0.44.1).
Date: Wed Oct 9 14:54:39 2024
Tag: v0.44.1, commits: 5309
built against aquamarine 0.4.2

And now when I exit, gdm seems disabled and I end in a terminal
