Keep the UI while the compositor is loading #66

Closed max-ishere closed 2 weeks ago

I dont know if this is even possible...

I almost never use the tiny laptop monitor. I just have the lid closed and work on a bigger one. I have a default setting somewhere that puts the laptop to sleep if the lid is closed while in a TTY. I could change it, however there's another reason for this issue.

After logging in and before a wayland compositor starts rendering, the TTY is visible with compositor logs.

A solution for both of these (that I remember seeing back on X11 in various "normie" distros) would be to keep something like a black screen/wallpaper until the other WM starts rendering.

You mean that after ReGreet authenticates you with greetd and is starting your actual desktop, you see the TTY, and you wish to avoid it? In this case, I'm not sure if I can do anything from my side, as I believe greetd stops ReGreet (and the Wayland compositor that runs it) before starting your desktop. You might have to ask the greetd devs on how to go about it.

I figured out that the greeter gets about 5 or so second timeout after it sends the start session request, so there's probably some other place this would have to be configured. Maybe in greetd or maybe the command being executed (so the compositor)

I'll close it since the project isn't really able to do anything from my observations.
