noctalia-greeter --version
noctalia-greeter 1.0.0
❯ cat /etc/greetd/config.toml
[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "/usr/bin/noctalia-greeter-session"
user = "greeter"
cat greeter.toml
noctalia-greeter greeter.toml
[session] default/last, [user] default, [appearance] scheme/password_style/hide_logo
[output] name/layout/scale, [cursor] theme/size/path, [keyboard] layout/variant/options/numlock
[appearance]
scheme = "Synced"
[output]
layout = "HDMI-A-1:0,0; DP-2:1920,0; DP-1:3120,480"
transforms = "DP-2:90"
[session]
last = "Hyprland (uwsm-managed)"
The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to make any changes to greeter.toml it keeps getting overwritten back to default which is the same greeter.toml I have pasted above just without the transforms part. I installed using pacman so I don't know if its recommended to compile this myself instead. The layout was automatically generated from autosync and its the same as my hyprland monitors.lua, however on the login screen the layout is as follows
| HDMI-A-1| --> |DP-2|
|
|
V
| DP-1 |
My Hyprland-uwsm session layout looks like this
| HDMI-A-1 | <-- | DP-2 (Vertical) | <-- | DP-1 (main)|
Things I've Tried
./print_greetd_config.sh
Configure greetd - copy and paste the block below.
On an existing greetd setup this replaces config.toml (a .bak copy is made first).
sudo useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin -d /var/lib/noctalia-greeter greeter 2>/dev/null || true
sudo cp -a /etc/greetd/config.toml /etc/greetd/config.toml.bak 2>/dev/null || true
sudo tee /etc/greetd/config.toml >/dev/null <<'GREETD_CONFIG'
[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "/usr/bin/noctalia-greeter-session"
user = "greeter"
GREETD_CONFIG
sudo systemctl enable --now greetd
Optional pinned desktop session (name must match the picker):
command = "/usr/bin/noctalia-greeter-session -- --session niri"
This at the very least stopped overwriting my greeter.toml, however then I would just reboot to a black screen and would have to use the tty to login
Steps to reproduce
- Make any appropriate config changes in /var/lib/noctalia-greeter/greeter.toml and save
- restart greetd
Expected behavior
I expected my monitor layout and orientation to change
Actual behavior
my changes to greeter.toml get overwritten and reverted back to default
Logs / error output
noctalia-greeter version
v1.0.0
Distribution
