Arch Linux User Repository

So far this is my favorite for desktop usage.

Arch Wiki on greetd and the main README were slightly vague on how to set a toml configuration and where, like for example does it automatically load a config file? And if so, what would the default path be.

The rest of the documentation showing what that sample toml file might look like was good. I wonder if it might be a good idea for the package to copy that or not.

The sway+regreet launch command I used is: exec "regreet --config /etc/greetd/regreet.toml; swaymsg exit

--

Edit:

So in case it helps anyone I have successfully enabled on-screen-keyboard for SFF or any devices using sway+greetd+regreet.

Sorry in advance if this is long. (Install squeekboard-git --

Create a sway rule to disable fullscreen on the regreet app

for_window [app_id="regreet"] fullscreen disable;

exec /home/greeter/sway-keyboard.sh

exec "busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b true"

And here's the /home/greeter/sway-keyboard.sh -- you can hook this up to a waybar custom icon to invoke the keyboard manually as needed as-well.

@Porous3247 Thanks for the info! I just noticed the "greetd-regreet" package, and therefore I've renamed the package to "greetd-regreet-git". I've also submitted a merge request to merge the comments/votes of this older package to the newer package.

The changes you suggested should be at "greetd-regreet-git". Once the merge request goes through, please install that one.

Can you add to the PKGBUILD:

provides=(greetd-greeter)
conflicts=(greetd-regreet)
