Hi Daniele,
I actually don't have auto login / auto start Sway - I just login with a
TTY, and then I use `herd start sway` with a little guix home service
that I wrote:
(shepherd-service
(documentation "SwayWM")
(provision '(sway))
(requirement '(dbus))
(respawn? #f)
(auto-start? #f)
(start #~(make-forkexec-constructor
(list #$(file-append (specification->package "dbus")
"/bin/dbus-run-session") "sway")
#:log-file (string-append #$log-dir "/swaywm.log")))
(stop #~(make-system-destructor
(string-join (list #$(file-append (specification->package "sway")
"/bin/swaymsg")
"exit")))))
This isn't perfect (I use the system sway binary, but I use swaymsg from
my home profile - which means they can be different package version; and
herd stop sway doesn't work), but it's been good enough for me to not
care to fix.
