 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.

| @jtelscott:frei.chat removed their display name jtelscott. | 08:30:21 |
| @jtelscott:frei.chat left the room. | 08:30:22 |
| 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 |
| Sandro 🐧 | hmmm, sad | 22:43:55 |

|  jopejoe1 (4094@epvpn) changed their display name from jopejoe1 (4094@39c3) to jopejoe1 (4094@epvpn). | 08:26:22 |
| 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"
];
| 20:45:58 |
| emily | I think you'll need to at least make it an alias or whatever | 20:46:28 |
| K900 | Ughhhhhhhhhhh | 20:46:31 |
 ElvishJerricco | ugh | 20:46:41 |
| ElvishJerricco | ideally, the way that would work is that every display manager would provide their own service and alias themselves as display-manager.service and display-manager.service wouldn't actually exist | 20:47:04 |
