05:54 <pinpoxIRC> I've noticed nm-applet doesn't work on river. Is that a known issue?

05:55 <pinpoxIRC> I tried the workaround mentionend for sway here, but that does nothing on river https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1357#issuecomment-1365663685

05:56 <pinpoxIRC> Do I have to do anything to get it to work on river? I'm using waybar with tray module

06:32 <tiosgz> pinpoxIRC: are you running dbus? i'm not 100% sure this is the right way, but i run river with:

06:32 <tiosgz> dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session river

06:57 <NickH> Can confirm that "nm-applet --indicator" works fine (I am also runnning dbus).

20:48 <pinpoxIRC> @tiosgz NickH Thanks! launching river that way actually fixes it! I was just executing `river` after login in in the TTY

22:52 <mvnx> Hello! Anyone have a working config for NixOS? New to Wayland and struggling. Presently in a QEMU VM. River 0.2.4 fails to launch with EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED message: DRI2: failed to create screen. Sway via `programs.sway.enable` "worked" in that I got graphics.

23:07 <waleee> that sounds like it's qemu related to be honest

23:07 <waleee> mvnx: hod did you start river in the qemu vm?

23:11 <waleee> mvnx: I would guess this line in the sway nixos-module explains why it works, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/programs/sway.nix#L144

23:12 <waleee> and probably hardware.opengl.enable = true in the lines below

23:14 <mvnx> I'm launching it through `greetd` but I even tried just logging in via regular agetty/login and running `river`. I have that dbus activation in my river config using `river spawn` (saw in someones config). I also have OpenGL enabled.

23:18 <waleee> mvnx: what happens if you uncermoniously copy all the last lines in programs.sway that enables various stuff?

23:31 <mvnx> I believe I already have. Also set `environment.variables.XDG_SESSION_TYPE`, `XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP`, and `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` and all the other ones that comes in that `extraSessionCommands`.

23:33 <waleee> I'm not entireely convinced that doing the dbus activation with river spawn is a good idea, seems a bit late in the startup

23:34 <mvnx> Thanks I appreciate the help thinking through this. I'll try it manually before launching from a tty

23:34 <waleee> well leon had it in the init file, but without river spawn

23:35 <waleee> https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/river-config/tree/master/item/river/init#L64

23:38 <mvnx> Any idea when or how WAYLAND_DISPLAY gets set? It's empty

23:47 <waleee> https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/environment-variables-for-wayland-hackers/12750 had some info on it

23:52 <waleee> mvnx: what was your qemu call to launch the vm? I think I saw something about qemu wayland needing kvm

23:53 <waleee> though that should have prevented sway of course so probably not an issue

23:59 <waleee> this post claims that opengl using wayland compositors in vm:s without hw-accelaration is prone to failure
