[NVIDIA] sway won't start

[ghost]

When I run sway with sway --unsupported-gpu an error occurs:

00:00:00.000 [ERROR] [sway/main.c:62] !!! Proprietary Nvidia drivers are in use !!!
00:00:00.004 [ERROR] [wlr] [backend/backend.c:217] Found 0 GPUs, cannot create backend
00:00:00.004 [ERROR] [wlr] [backend/backend.c:386] Failed to open any DRM device
00:00:00.006 [ERROR] [sway/server.c:57] Unable to create backend

Can you please tell me what I missed? ALL the commands I used for install here.

You shouldn't need anything more than the single modprobe in the inittab mentioned in the readme https://github.com/gkisslinux/grepo#nvidia

echo 'modprobe nvidia
modprobe nvidia_modeset
modprobe nvidia_uvm
modprobe nvidia_drm' > /etc/rc.d/nvidia.boot

This probably loads the nvidia driver without the modeset flag before /etc/inittab is loaded, you don't need this.

If it still doesn't work after removing /etc/rc.d/nvidia.boot then post a dmesg log along with strace sway --unsupported-gpu > log 2>&1 and the output of log.

Yes, that didn't work, now another error appears: strace, dmesg

[git-bruh]

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/dri/renderD128", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

There is still a permission issue. Ssnd the output of ls -l /dev/dri

You probably just forgot to enable mdev which handles permission changes so just kiss b libudev-zero and ln -s /etc/sv/mdev /var/service and reboot

Thank you so much, that was the problem!
