@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr WOOOOOOH 10:34:12
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️I upgraded to Plasma 6.6 and the new login manager, but as soon as I get into plasma my keyboard and mouse stop working, what do I need to change in my config?13:02:23
@k900:0upti.meK900Uhh13:03:20
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️

My setup looks essentially like this:

{
  # Enable the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment.
  services.displayManager = {
    plasma-login-manager = {
      enable = true;
    };
    autoLogin.enable = false;
  };
  services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;

  environment.systemPackages = [
    # provide onscreen keyboard
    pkgs.kdePackages.plasma-keyboard
  ];

  programs.kdeconnect = {
    enable = true;
  };
}
13:06:23
@k900:0upti.meK900That is very strange13:03:22
@k900:0upti.meK900 Can you SSH in and see if the events are reported by, say, libinput debug-events? 13:03:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Also, are you using X11 or Wayland?13:03:46
@k900:0upti.meK900But are you choosing the X11 or Wayland session when you log in13:08:09
@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr Is Plasma 6.6 even in nixos-unstable right now? How do you enable it? 13:11:16
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️I don't have another computer (with SSH) handy right now13:13:14
@k900:0upti.meK900 unstable-small yes 13:13:39
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️I would assume wayland since I've been using that forever 😅 but maybe it got reset to x11 on update, I did not choose anything on login screen13:13:40
@k900:0upti.meK900nixos-unstable no13:13:43
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️I'm on unstable-small because I hate myself13:14:16
@k900:0upti.meK900 You know you can just go look right 13:13:53
@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr Sounds like a lot of compiling. 13:21:07
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️It is, but I have the machine for it so it's fine. Today was particularly bad when firefox + librewolf was updated13:25:56
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️Yes, but I have to reboot again13:26:03
@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr cant you echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE ? 13:26:38
@ulrik:m.strid.ninjaulrik ⚡️It was preset to X11, changed to wayland and now it works13:27:32
@k900:0upti.meK900nixos-unstable updated20:09:15
@k900:0upti.meK900Plasma 6.6 should be available now20:09:21
@mjm:midna.devmjmHmm logging in from new login manager is sending me to just a black screen21:05:15
@mjm:midna.devmjmHmm its trying to start an X session. That might be why21:08:55
@mjm:midna.devmjmIndeed it was. Didn't see the button to choose it21:10:20

@k900:0upti.meK900 OK uhhh we might want to do something about that 00:21:41
@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr

Uhh Plasma Login Manager doesnt have their PAM Files right? I want to unlock my kwallet after autologin with plasma-login-manager, its a blowfish default kdewallet with my login password and I set this in ym configs:

Relevant config:

services.displayManager.plasma-login-manager.enable = true;

security.pam.services.plasma-login-manager.kwallet = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.kdePackages.kwallet-pam;
};

Autologin:

services.displayManager.autoLogin = {
enable = true;
user = "hadichokr";
};

Overlay removing the kwallet portal service (to avoid portal issues):

(self: super: {
kdePackages = super.kdePackages // {
kwallet = super.kdePackages.kwallet.overrideAttrs (old: {
postFixup = (old.postFixup or "") + ''
rm -f $out/share/org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.kwallet.service
'';
});
};
})

07:28:42
@k900:0upti.meK900It does, but you can't unlock it with autologin07:33:02
@k900:0upti.meK900Because autologin does not know your password07:33:08
@silverhadch07:matrix.orgHadi Chokr So there is no way around this? 07:34:48
