  • Plasma users rejoice: SDDM just had a new release!
    3 projects | /r/archlinux | 23 Jun 2023
    Finally released... I had to apply the following patch to a custom build for over two years, because SDDM didn't source /etc/profile when the user's login shell was set to FISH despite the script being run in BASH: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/commit/cf65e99eb8abfe2ee1ef7e2f7dc43862e83bf0ab

  • Is SDDM dead?

    For example, look at this pull request that's related to the finger print functionality: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1220 it's from Dec 24, 2019.

    Yes, it does stop them. Seeing pull requests like this one or this one (also hello to your comment from 2018) and this one screeches contributions to a halt since the maintainers do not try to look into merging contributions. Especially with seemingly hostile comments from the first example, doesn't look like they like if people try to poke them for any updates.
  • What's the default desktop manager in asahi plasma install? Where's it configured?
    2 projects | /r/AsahiLinux | 8 Jan 2023
    I don't think any standard way to do that exists. For Plasma, you can use ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/. For other desktop environments, you'll have to use the SDDM feature that sources your shell profile (see here) and actually add code there to detect which session is being launched and set whatever environment you want. If I'm reading the script right, you should be able to check $0 to identify when the profile is being sourced from the SDDM wrapper (Xsession or wayland-session) and then $1 to identify the session at that point.
