SigmaSquadron | Awesome. I thought 6.6 would ship with SDDM still. | 00:14:19 |
Sandro 🐧 | yap, done since yesterday 😂 https://github.com/KDE/plasma-login-manager/commit/d45612943e698cef15feb2ca43e60c9322b0c0be | 04:43:08 |
Sandro 🐧 |
Plasma Login Manager is being released with Plasma 6.6 and is already being integrated into Fedora KDE and KDE Linux. It's long since stopped being a prototype, so let's stop saying it is so people who look at this project aren't confused anymore.

Sandro 🐧 | Someone knows a way to automatically disable monitors when they are turned off? | 21:38:55 |
K900 ⚡️ | In most cases the system just doesn't know | 21:53:57 |

K900 ⚡️ | Plasma 6.6 beta cooking | 16:37:21 |
K900 ⚡️ | OK I think I have everything building now | 17:45:17 |
K900 ⚡️ | The next step is to see if it actually runs | 17:45:31 |
K900 ⚡️ | And after that we can think about wiring up plasma-login-manager | 17:45:40 |
K900 ⚡️ | OK plasma-login-manager works | 20:40:47 |

K900 ⚡️ | Have fun | 20:40:51 |
emily | they made a greenfield login manager that supports X…? | 20:44:10 |
K900 ⚡️ | No | 20:44:43 |
K900 ⚡️ | They forked SDDM | 20:44:45 |
K900 ⚡️ | And it only supports X sessions | 20:44:53 |
emily | # don't install generic nixos display manager unit
systemd.services.display-manager.enable = false;
I don't think this is safe because we rely on conflicts/ordering stuff with it
| 20:45:29 |
emily | maybe ElvishJerricco knows for sure though | 20:45:34 |
emily | for example | 20:45:56 |
emily | # We can't just rely on 'Conflicts=autovt@tty1.service' because
# 'switch-to-configuration switch' will start 'autovt@tty1.service'
# and kill the display manager.
systemd.targets.getty.wants =
lib.mkIf (!(config.systemd.services.display-manager.enable or false))
[
"autovt@tty1.service"
];
