Hello
I have dwm installed inside a rootless distrobox bazzite-arch container.

How should I go about adding it to my /use/share/xsessions?

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:42 AM

If not possible, what's the alternative?

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:43 AM

To be clear, I'm not asking how to make .desktop file, I'm asking how to add dwm as an option so that I can launch it

as far as I've been able to tell changing to another DE/WM besides gnome/kde requires building your own custom image

Kasher_CS•6/29/24, 11:44 AM

You can add a session but you need to do it to a mutable folder, which I'm not sure if there's any that gets read

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:45 AM

That's true yes, hence the question

Iris•6/29/24, 11:46 AM

I'm not the right person to explain how to build a custom bazzite image unfortunately, I've been reading the docs myself just now

I'm not sure how to tell greeter to look into, say, /var folder( am assuming it's a notable folder)

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:47 AM

Is there a way to tell gdm to also look into other folders?

Thanks for reply. I'd like to avoid it as much as possible

Iris•6/29/24, 11:50 AM

best of luck

Kasher_CS•6/29/24, 11:50 AM

I think it looks to /etc/X11/sessions but I'm not sure

KKasher_CS I think it looks to /etc/X11/sessions but I'm not sure

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:52 AM

Etc is mutable?

JJazze (plz ping when reply)Etc is mutable?

Valerie•6/29/24, 11:54 AM

Yes

VValerie Yes

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 11:54 AM

I try and then report back

Kasher_CS•6/29/24, 11:55 AM

/usr/local/usr/local is too

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:01 PM

Thanks

You can add it to /usr/local/share/Xsessions on The host

MM2 You can add it to /usr/local/share/Xsessions on The host

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:02 PM

It says file system is read only

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:02 PM

Oh shit nvm, I tried usr/share

M2•6/29/24, 12:02 PM

/usr/local

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:03 PM

Yes yes

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:03 PM

I try that

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:03 PM

I will try that soon*

M2•6/29/24, 12:03 PM

Additionally it needs to be a distrobox enter command to something like startx

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:04 PM

I have added in my zshenv and also added a .xinitrc to my host and distrobox

Kasher_CS•6/29/24, 12:05 PM

tbf there is a startx command in bazzite so worst case you can use that

KKasher_CS tbf there is a startx command in bazzite so worst case you can use that

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:05 PM

It should call bazzite startx by default

Kasher_CS•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

As in, in host bazzite

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

Yes yes

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

That's how I'm passing my distrobox to use the host x11

M2•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

That might work. Since dwm is just a window manager

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

Lets hope

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/29/24, 12:06 PM

If it does I'm gonna be happy

Valerie•6/29/24, 12:55 PM

Really not having good luck with Bazzite Deck

Valerie•6/29/24, 12:55 PM

Steam refuses to stay logged in after install, I can't return to game mode without it just black screening and if I reboot after first boot steam never starts

KKyle Gospo The game mode image uses valve's session model

Nicolas Andrade•6/29/24, 12:58 PM

Ohhh so its one Linux user not steam user. That's understandable what I thought it meant makes no sense

Ionplasma•6/29/24, 1:00 PM

I got a copr package layered ontop of the image, that package refuses to update despite updating the base image multiple times, how do I force rpm-ostree to pull the newest? there's several versions released since the one I have installed, what's the equivalent to dnf --refresh updatednf --refresh update?
