Add a generic wayland system compositor support #132
Conversation

It's back... :) |
|
@mariogrip are you still working on this / planning on using it? |
|
@robert-ancell Yes, would this be ok as is? |
This adds a generic wayland system compositor impl based on the old unity-system-compositor. This allows lightdm to handle a generic nested wayland compositor setup. This does not implement xwayland to allow to run x sessions on top of a wayland system compositor.
We always read raw data from the pipe, thus this should have been set since this file was written. However, for some reason this has nerver been set, and for some unknown reason this has never been a problem on Xenial port of UT. However, not having this caused an infinite hang on g_io_channel_read_chars(), presumebly because it's trying to interpret a binary data as an incomplete UTF-8 character.

Hey! mariogrip has not signed the Canonical CLA which is required to get this contribution merged on this project.
Please head over to https://ubuntu.com/legal/contributors to read more about it. |

I have signed it now |

Sorry for the delay on this. I'm hesitant in landing this as I'm not sure if this feature will be widely used. Hopefully it should be relatively easy to maintain it as a branch for your use case and we can reconsider in the future? If you are a project that would make use of this please comment in this issue so we can see the demand. |

would this enable lightdm to start Sway or Hyprland?, if so then this is really important as many of the WM users that i meet love LightDM, but is moving to SDDM because of Hyprland. |
|
I really hope that this will be added to lightdm in order to support sway or hyprland. I was just trying out hyprland and realized that lightdm doesn't support it. And I really wish if it was. |

This is set as draft to get some input if this is something upstream wants, i'll impement tests and docs if this is something upstream want.
I guess you guys didn't see this one coming back :)
