Any chance of creating an actual home directory for the greeter user, so that we can properly configure the GTK gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme settings?

Should be a matter of:

  • Creating "$pkgdir/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/greetd.conf" with a single line: d /var/lib/greetd 0750 greeter greeter -
  • Changing the home folder of greetd user to that folder: 'u greeter - "greetd greeter user" /var/lib/greetd /bin/bash'

Since the user is created in this package, these changes should be done here, even though they are mostly useful for greetd-gtkgreet and other graphical greeters.

I noticed that systemd tries to restart the included service even if the service fails because of the error in its configuration file. But such an error is not spurios. I added RestartPreventExitStatus=1 to the Service section to prevent this; now systemd does not restart the service if the exit status was 1.

Hey, I was trying to build the package on my ManjaroARM installation, but it always fails due some type mismatch in the pam module. Tried both: git-master and ref 0.5.1 without much success...

Might be related to a type issue in this line: https://github.com/kennylevinsen/greetd/blob/master/greetd/src/pam/session.rs#L106

Created a PR on GitHub. With this change it compiles just fine.... https://github.com/kennylevinsen/greetd/pull/1

The automatically created user was missing a shell, which could stop the greeter from starting properly.

If you already have the user created and observe this issue, use sudo chsh -s /bin/bash greeter to fix the user.

Now includes manpages, automatic user creation and proper handling of config on upgrade.

Would be great if the package creates the user it mentions to run with in from the config and deploys the default config to be used.

@kennylevinsen: thanks for letting me know! package updated.

I'm adding you as a maintainer to all the greetd packages, that way you'll be able to tweak the PKGBUILDs as needed :)

/etc/pam.d/greeter is no longer included in the package, as it was unnecessary.
