bug: wpaperd - daemon never starts #4538

bashfulrobot · 2023-10-05T14:38:31Z

Are you following the right branch?

My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

I have configured wpaperd with the following code:

{ pkgs, lib, config, ... }: {
  programs.wpaperd = {
    enable = true;
    settings = {
      default = {
        path = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/Pictures/Wallpapers";
        duration = "30m";
        apply-shadow = true;
        sorting = "random";
      };
    };
  };
}

I then added exec wpaperd in my sway config, but the daemon never seems to run. If I run it at the terminal, the command has no effect.

I then ran the command with strace wpaperd and got the following output:

I originally opened an issue on the package itself, but I was asked to open an issue on this repo.

Is it odd that we do not see the strace output reflect wallpaper.toml?

thank you.

Bump, it seems there is no systemd/whatever service to run it. A small oversight.

denizbaba0 · 2023-11-08T17:20:13Z

But it runs - when I manually do it.

This is a trivial fix but it should also probably be renamed services.wpaperd in that case.

Re: nix-community#4538, wpaperd needs something to run it after being enabled. This commit adds a systemd service to run it, and accordingly moves it to services.wpaperd. In addition, the existing tests have been migrated to services, and an entry in the newslist has been created alerting users to this change.
