 frontear | then directly after this Gdm debug mentions x11 login display stuff | 06:22:47 |

Started GNOME Shell on Wayland
Failed to start Application launched by gnome-session-binary i should add these arent exactly beside one another, but very close | 06:23:00 |
 ElvishJerricco | Nov 15 06:11:30 nixos gdm[1687]: Gdm: GdmSession: Emitting 'session-died' signal with signal number '1'
I'm guessing the gnome session dies right around the timestamp of this message?
| 06:24:11 |
| frontear | yes exactly on that timestamp | 06:24:47 |
| ElvishJerricco | can you check... what timestamp does getty@tty1.service start? | 06:25:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | (I swear to god if it's this fucking bug again) | 06:25:19 |
| frontear | https://termbin.com/r6og | 06:25:51 |
| ElvishJerricco | god dammit | 06:26:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | yep | 06:26:05 |
| ElvishJerricco | gnome is getting killed by getty | 06:26:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | try booting with systemd.mask=getty.target | 06:26:26 |
| ElvishJerricco | not sure that'll do what I want but I think it will | 06:26:33 |
| frontear | will do | 06:26:33 |
| frontear | SESSION_TYPE is wayland now | 06:27:29 |
| frontear | getty is masked as expected | 06:27:49 |
| ElvishJerricco | it's another variation of this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/309190 | 06:28:15 |
| ElvishJerricco | and I guess GDM figures that if GNOME dies immediately it should fallback and try x11 instead? | 06:28:37 |
| ElvishJerricco | is that a real thing? | 06:28:39 |
| frontear | I guess so, this time it did actually seem to load it slightly earlier | 06:28:51 |
| 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 |
