To modify your configuration to start Sway instead of Hyprland, you will need to update both the hyprland.conf file and the config.toml file accordingly.
Here’s what needs to be done:
Update the config.toml file to start Sway:
In your config.toml, modify the command under [default_session] to run Sway instead of Hyprland.
Your updated config.toml should look like this:
toml
Copy code
[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "sway"
user = "greeter"
2. Remove or Update the hyprland.conf file:
Since this file is for Hyprland-specific settings, you can either remove it or update it for Sway. If it's no longer needed (because Sway will use its default configuration or another one defined elsewhere), you can delete or ignore the hyprland.conf file altogether.
Ensure that your greetd-useradd script is correctly setting up the user:
Your greetd-useradd script looks fine. It ensures that a greeter user exists to run the session. You don’t need to modify it for switching to Sway.
sh
Copy code
#!/usr/bin/sh
getent passwd greeter > /dev/null || useradd -r -g -M video greeter -c "Greetd Greeter Account" -d /var/lib/greetd -s /usr/sbin/nologin greeter
4. Test:
After making these changes, restart the system or the greetd service to check if Sway starts properly:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl restart greetd
If everything is configured correctly, greetd will now start Sway instead of Hyprland.
Let me know if you need further assistance!

To modify your setup to use Sway instead of Hyprland with greetd and tuigreet, here’s what your configuration files should look like:
config.toml:
This file tells greetd what session to start for the greeter user. Since you want to use Sway, the command should launch sway instead of Hyprland.
toml
Copy code
[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "sway"
user = "greeter"
Explanation:
The command = "sway" line starts Sway.
user = "greeter" specifies that the greeter user should run the session, as per your greetd-useradd script.
vt = 1 tells it to use virtual terminal 1 (you can adjust this if needed).
2. greetd-useradd script:
This script is responsible for ensuring the greeter user is created. No changes are needed here if you already have it as follows:
sh
Copy code
#!/usr/bin/sh
getent passwd greeter > /dev/null || useradd -r -g -M video greeter -c "Greetd Greeter Account" -d /var/lib/greetd -s /usr/sbin/nologin greeter
3. No hyprland.conf:
Since you’re no longer using Hyprland, you can either delete the hyprland.conf file or simply leave it unused. Sway doesn’t require a custom config here unless you need it for specific reasons.
Ensure Sway is Installed:
Make sure Sway is installed and can run normally by testing it with:
bash
Copy code
sway
If you encounter issues, check the logs with journalctl -xeu greetd to debug why Sway may not be launching correctly.
Restart greetd:
Once you have updated the config, restart greetd:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl restart greetd
This will now start Sway for the greeter session instead of Hyprland.

Based on the information you've provided, you are setting up a system to run greetd and tuigreet, while also ensuring that a greetd-useradd script runs on boot to create the greeter user. Let's break down your setup:
greetd-boot.service File
This service ensures that the greeter user is created before greetd runs. You've provided the correct service file for this purpose:
ini
Copy code
[Unit]
Description=Create SDDM user on system boot
Before=greetd.service
Before=greetd.service: Ensures that this service runs before greetd starts.
ExecStart=/usr/etc/sddm/greetd-useradd: Runs the greetd-useradd script, ensuring the greeter user exists.
RemainAfterExit=yes: Keeps the service active after it has executed, making sure it's not run again until the next boot.
greetd.yml for RPM-OSTree
Your greetd.yml file is responsible for installing both greetd and tuigreet:
yaml
Copy code
type: rpm-ostree
repos:
install:
greetd
tuigreet
This looks correct. It will install the necessary packages for running greetd and tuigreet.
Recipe: recipe.yml
This is where the main system configuration happens. Your snippet indicates that you're pulling files, modules, and packages from various sources and ensuring systemd services are enabled. Here’s a breakdown:
File Section: This is handling the file structure, and you’re copying your greetd configurations and scripts into /usr.
Packages: This section installs your packages (including greetd and tuigreet) via the respective *.yml files.
Systemd: This part ensures that greetd-boot.service is enabled, meaning it will automatically run on boot, as required to create the greeter user.
Key Takeaways:
greetd-boot.service ensures the greeter user is created before greetd starts.
greetd.yml installs both greetd and tuigreet.
recipe.yml correctly references your files and installs the packages, as well as enables the greetd-boot.service on boot.
Testing:
After configuring everything, you can build and test your OSTree image and check if the greetd-boot.service is working by running:
bash
Copy code
systemctl status greetd-boot.service
Then verify greetd starts with:
bash
Copy code
systemctl status greetd
Also, to ensure everything is working on boot, you can reboot and observe if the system starts with tuigreet and whether Sway launches as expected.
This setup should meet your requirements for running Sway via greetd and ensuring that the greeter user is correctly created on boot.
You said:
ok so i will use tuigreet with greetd. from the arch docs i found:
tuigreet
tuigreet does not require any special setup, just set the command option as follows:
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
Yes, you're on the right track with the tuigreet setup! Since you want to use tuigreet with greetd to launch Sway, you can simplify the configuration. Here's how you can adapt your config.toml file based on the Arch documentation:
[default_session]
command = "tuigreet --cmd sway"
user = "greeter"
Explanation:
command = "tuigreet --cmd sway": This line tells greetd to launch tuigreet, which in turn starts Sway after login. The --cmd sway argument specifies that Sway should be the default window manager launched by tuigreet.
user = "greeter": The session is still run by the greeter user, as specified.
Additional Customization Options:
You can customize tuigreet with other options (e.g., theme, font, etc.). Running tuigreet --help will show the available options. For example, you could add arguments like setting the theme or background color:
toml
Copy code
[default_session]
command = "tuigreet --cmd sway --background-color black"
user = "greeter"
This setup will allow you to use Sway with tuigreet and greetd with minimal configuration. You only need to adjust the command in the config.toml to launch tuigreet.
Final Steps:
After making these changes:
Restart greetd:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl restart greetd
Check the status to ensure everything works as expected:
bash
Copy code
systemctl status greetd
This should now boot directly into tuigreet, which will launch Sway as specified!

great and finally i want to note that i have only one user called "dev" so i want it to be shown by default.
however will it still ask me for the pwd?
fro mthe docs:
Enabling autologin
If you want a user to be logged in automatically, an initial_session section must be defined in /etc/greetd/config.toml:
...
[initial_session]
command = "sway"
user = "myuser"
...
The command option may contain the name of any executable file. In the example above, Sway will be started by myuser at boot and gtkgreet will be launched after the user logs out.
If you do not want to use greetd and always want autologin to be enabled, see autologin.
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
To set up autologin for your dev user with greetd, you can follow the instructions for enabling the initial_session as specified in the docs. This will log in the user automatically and bypass the password prompt.
Here’s how to configure it:
Edit config.toml to Enable Autologin for dev User
You need to add an initial_session section in your /etc/greetd/config.toml to automatically log in the dev user and start Sway without a password prompt.
Here’s what the config.toml file should look like:
toml
Copy code
[terminal]
vt = 1
Automatically log in the 'dev' user and start Sway
[initial_session]
command = "sway"
user = "dev"
Fallback if initial session ends or user logs out
[default_session]
command = "tuigreet --cmd sway"
user = "greeter"
Explanation:
[initial_session]: This section automatically logs in the dev user and launches Sway. There will be no password prompt.
command = "sway": This specifies that Sway will be started for the dev user.
user = "dev": The dev user is logged in automatically.
[default_session]: This is the fallback session that appears if the initial_session ends (for example, if the user logs out). In this case, it falls back to tuigreet so you can log in again manually if needed.
2. Disable Password Prompt for dev User (Optional)
If you want to ensure no password is required when logging in the dev user automatically, you can create or edit the following systemd service to handle autologin:
bash
Copy code
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf
Add the following content:
ini
Copy code
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin dev --noclear %I $TERM
This tells systemd to autologin the dev user on the first virtual terminal without asking for a password.
Reload systemd:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Enable autologin on boot:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl restart getty@tty1.service
3. Restart greetd
After the changes, restart greetd:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl restart greetd
Now, upon boot or logout, the dev user will be automatically logged in, and Sway will be started without requiring a password prompt.
Final Result:
Autologin is enabled for the dev user.
Sway will automatically start without requiring a password.
If the user logs out, it will fall back to tuigreet to log in manually or start a new session.
