libseat is used to get DRM master and input devices for non-root users.
|
|
On Wayland this is only necessary when starting a compositor under KMS
|
|
console (e.g., /dev/ttyv0 backed by /dev/dri/card0). Nested sessions like
|
|
"Wayland on X11" or "Wayland on Wayland" don't need extra configuration.
|
|
|
|
By default libseat tries to find the first working backend. To override
|
|
set LIBSEAT_BACKEND via environ(7). Available backends and try order:
|
|
|
|
* "seatd" - seatd-launch(1) or seatd rc.d(8) service
|
|
%%BASU%%* "consolekit2" - ck-launch-session(1) or pam_ck_connector(8)
|
|
|
|
"seatd" backend requires membership in "video" group to be allowed to
|
|
use setuid bit in seatd-launch(1) or connect to seatd(1) socket.
|
|
|
|
# pw groupmod video -m <user>
|
|
$ exit # log out to refresh group permissions
|
|
|
|
For example, to start a wlroots-based compositor replace "sway" with
|
|
your compositor (e.g., "hikari", "wayfire", "labwc", "river") then run
|
|
|
|
$ seatd-launch sway
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, configure and run seatd(1) as system service
|
|
|
|
# sysrc seatd_enable=YES
|
|
# service seatd start
|
|
$ sway
|
|
|
|
%%BASU%%To use ConsoleKit2 run
|
|
%%BASU%%
|
|
%%BASU%% # pkg install consolekit2 basu
|
|
%%BASU%% # sysrc -x seatd_enable
|
|
%%BASU%% # service seatd stop
|
|
%%BASU%% # sysrc dbus_enable=YES
|
|
%%BASU%% # service dbus start
|
|
%%BASU%% $ ck-launch-session sway
|
|
%%BASU%%
|
|
%%BASU%%where "ck-launch-session" can be dropped after
|
|
%%BASU%%
|
|
%%BASU%% # echo "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" >>/etc/pam.d/system
|
|
%%BASU%% $ exit # log out to re-trigger PAM
