Errors with source build #59

Closed vincit-haihala closed 3 years ago

Built from source because this said that would fix the inversion issue. Every time I try to run swaylock-effects I get an error in red saying [shadow.c:18] swaylock needs to be setuid to read /etc/shadow. If I run swaylock as root(shouldn't need it, but just in case), I get a different error saying [shadow.c:36] Unable to drop root (we shouldn't be able to restore it after setuid): Success

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/swaylock fixed the issue. I originally didn't run it because I did install pam and the build instructions say that this is required "On systems without PAM, you need to suid the swaylock binary" and I did install PAM through dnf. I guess I should've installed pam-devel.

Can confirm that building from source fixes the issue of the screenshot being flipped upside down.

I was having the same issue, I only received the first message. I'm running the ebuild from Gentoo GURU. I don't have anything in /usr/local/bin/swaylock, but after running doas chmod a+s /usr/bin/swaylock, I began receiving the second message about being unable to drop root. How can I fix this?
