[SOLVED] DBus failures/errors on sway launch

tigerjack · 2022-01-04 12:06:29

Trying to understand what is going on with my sway configuration (I keep having freezes), I'm trying to get the stdout/stderr of each program autostarted with sway.

First of all, this is my login script

# To increase performance on Nvidia cards
export VGL_READBACK=pbo

# To use the system theme on calibre
export CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=true

# To use an ASKPASS program
export SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/lxqt-openssh-askpass

# Other export path for my X bins
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin/x"

# To enable wayland on firefox
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

# TEST for sway
# export QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPI=physical
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
# export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="wayland"
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl
export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1
export ECORE_EVAS_ENGINE=wayland_egl
export ELM_ENGINE=wayland_egl
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
# export CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland
export WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card0
# new ones
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE="wayland"
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP="sway"
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="sway"
export DESKTOP_SESSION=sway
#
export LIBSEAT_BACKEND="logind"

exec dbus-run-session /usr/bin/sway

Then, this is an alias that allows me to launch sway from tty (FIRST_DISPLAY is just a random environment variable that I'm using for other purposes)

alias zw='export FIRST_DISPLAY='\''1'\'' && /home/simone/bin/sway_launch.sh >/mnt/internal/LinuxData/logs/sway/sway.log 2>&1'

The sway.log file contains these lines at startup

from where you can see that org.freedesktop.systemd1 and org.freedesktop.secrets have failure status.

In my sway config file, I have this configuration related to executable files

set $locker 'swaylock -f -e -c 1d2021 --inside-color 000000b3 -s fill -i ~/.cache/lockscreen'
exec swayidle \
    timeout 300 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' \
    timeout 600 $locker \
    timeout 15 'if pgrep -x swaylock; then swaymsg "output * dpms off"; fi' \
    resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \
    before-sleep $locker
# exec ~/bin/x/mylock safe-mode

# notification daemon

# wifi tray

# battery-monitor

#Execute all the startup scripts

# locker
exec xss-lock -- swaylock -k -l -c 000000 >/mnt/internal/LinuxData/logs/sway/xss_lock.log 2>&1 
# exec dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

Any help to debug the problem is appreciated.

Why do you think that using dbus-run-session is a good idea?
It isn't mentioned anywhere on the sway wiki page.

I have a comment right above that line saying

# D-Bus session bus is started automatically, but if you want to have multiple simultaneous sessions for the same user on the same machine, you may want to create a unique bus for each session, and therefore you should explicitly invoke dbus-run-session. See https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comment … s_session/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comment … _etc_need/

I'm not sure why I needed this solution, I think I was experimenting with multiple logins. Do you think it may be the culprit here?

Remove it and find out.

That's from a Void user and they don't use systemd.

FWIW dbus seems to work fine for me with just 'exec sway'. Or at least it did until I masked it

EDIT: removed superfluous question.

Ok, removing it seems to solve the issue.
Thank you for the support
