[ERROR => sway] Unable to open wayland socket

[azwyver]

Heres the picture of the error I get while doing sway:

[konimex]

Do you have seatd running?

[azwyver]

No, I am using sway-tiny. Im having the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to /tmp/1000 and also I have that directory created. On my first run, It worked perfectly but after rebooting, sway doesnt work.

[konimex]

Have you followed all instructions by KISS Linux?

NOTE: You must be in the 'video', 'audio', and 'tty'
      groups. There is no 'input' group requirement
      as this sway binary is setgid input.

NOTE: You must set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in your shellrc
      or .profile for things to work. This directory
      must exist and must be writable by your user.

      export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/\$(id -u)

NOTE: You must be the first to call DRMSetMaster.

      If you cannot fulfil this requirement, you must
      use the 'sway' package and run the 'seatd' daemon.

      Another option is to setuid root the sway binary.

NOTE: sway-tiny does not spawn a subshell for exec
      commands, it executes them directly. Use the full
      path to the program you would like to execute.

      # Will not work.
      bindsym \$mod+t exec foot

      # Works.
      bindsym \$mod+t exec /bin/foot

[azwyver]

Yes I have.

[konimex]

I can reproduce this (but only the /dev/dri/card0 part and have no idea why, but this may be related to:

NOTE: You must be the first to call DRMSetMaster.

If you cannot fulfil this requirement, you must use the 'sway' package and run the 'seatd' daemon.

Though I don't know what Dylan means by "You must be the first to call DRMSetMaster", and frankly docs are a bit sparse at this point.

Also @konimex am trying to fix the libatomic issue with nodejs nodejs/node#39546

As far as this goes, I dont have much idea about. But what im noticing is the environment variable is present but not the directory.

[azwyver]

Hmm, this is very weird. I have the enviroent vairable set up in the .profile. The line for loading the export is not working while the other code is functional. Upon closer inspection, i've seen these two things:

1. The environment variable not loading
2. The environment variable directory not present

[konimex]

The environment variable not loading

So, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is empty even if you have it on ~/.profile?

The environment variable directory not present

I decided to work around this by adding this in /etc/inittab (before the ttys):

::once:/bin/install -d -o <user> -g <user> /run/user/<uid>

[azwyver]

The workaround seems to work perfectly fine in the .profile. Thus, closing this issue.
