 frontear | so I guess GNOME must have fallback logic | 06:28:57 |
 ElvishJerricco | yea, so this is reason number eight thousand and ten that we want GDM to start on TTY1 | 06:29:36 |
| ElvishJerricco | but it doesn't explain plasma not launching | 06:29:51 |
| frontear | yeah that seems to be a whole different can of worms | 06:30:03 |
| frontear | i dont suppose theres a sddm.debug in the nixos modules is there? | 06:30:11 |
| ElvishJerricco | I was hoping it was a wayland thing so both of them would be the same bug | 06:30:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | but it doesn't appear to be | 06:30:25 |
| frontear | I know SDDM was able to work if I masked the display-manager service and then manually started it | 06:30:58 |
| frontear | so I wonder what holds it up at the first launch | 06:31:08 |
| ElvishJerricco | uh there's an sddm.settings freeform option, so I guess you'd have to check documentation for sddm.conf to see if it can do debug logging | 06:31:15 |
| frontear | hm they got a SessionLogFile that drops a wayland-session.log in the users .local/share | 06:32:11 |
| frontear | nothing about a "debug" flag though | 06:32:18 |
| ElvishJerricco | frontear: So, just to confirm some things... | 06:32:40 |
| ElvishJerricco | If you boot the GNOME ISO without any extra params (so no plymouth.enable=0), does it eventually reach a desktop? | 06:33:01 |
| frontear | I did not explicitly try that yet, let me try that right now | 06:33:36 |
| frontear | Yep it seems to make it into the desktop | 06:33:55 |
| ElvishJerricco | ok, but the plasma ISO doesn't? | 06:34:07 |
| frontear | best part is session = wayland again .. | 06:34:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | In reply to @frontear:matrix.org
best part is session = wayland again .. yea the tty1 bug is racey | 06:34:22 |
| frontear | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
ok, but the plasma ISO doesn't? nope, never has worked once and I tried a couple times | 06:34:24 |
| frontear | the only time I was ever able to get it to work was either with masking display-manager and then running manually | 06:34:45 |
| frontear | or setting to X11 | 06:34:48 |
| frontear | plasma to x11 mind you, i didnt change sddm | 06:34:58 |
| frontear | so idk why sddm has a problem | 06:35:05 |
| ElvishJerricco | ok. So I guess we should switch focus to plasma now that I kind of understand the issue with GNOME. So I guess technically we should technically move to #kde:nixos.org now :P | 06:35:55 |
| frontear | so true | 06:36:30 |
| ElvishJerricco | If you've still got the time and energy to help out some more with this | 06:36:36 |
| ElvishJerricco | understood if not | 06:36:40 |
| frontear | yeah i dont mind, i got about half an hour i can spare still | 06:37:00 |
| ElvishJerricco | cool, thanks again | 06:37:06 |
