- Description:
- seatd is a seat management daemon, that does everything it needs to
do. Nothing more, nothing less. Depends only on libc.
libseat is a seat management library allowing applications to use
whatever seat management is available.
Supports:
- seatd
- (e)logind
- embedded seatd for standalone operation
Each backend can be compile-time included and is runtime auto-detected
or manually selected with the `LIBSEAT_BACKEND` environment variable.
Which backend is in use is transparent to the application, providing a

Configuration Options:- ===> The following configuration options are available for seatd-0.9.1:
BASU=on: ConsoleKit2 support via basu (experimental)
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Options name:
- sysutils_seatd
- USES:
- compiler:c11 cpe meson pkgconfig
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- libseat is used to get DRM master and input devices for non-root users.
On Wayland this is only necessary when starting a compositor under KMS
console (e.g., /dev/ttyv0 backed by /dev/dri/card0). Nested sessions like
"Wayland on X11" or "Wayland on Wayland" don't need extra configuration.
By default libseat tries to find the first working backend. To override
set LIBSEAT_BACKEND via environ(7). Available backends and try order:
* "seatd" - seatd-launch(1) or seatd rc.d(8) service
* "consolekit2" - ck-launch-session(1) or pam_ck_connector(8)
"seatd" backend requires membership in "video" group to be allowed to
use setuid bit in seatd-launch(1) or connect to seatd(1) socket.
# pw groupmod video -m <user>
$ exit # log out to refresh group permissions
For example, to start a wlroots-based compositor replace "sway" with
your compositor (e.g., "hikari", "wayfire", "labwc", "river") then run
$ seatd-launch sway
Alternatively, configure and run seatd(1) as system service
# sysrc seatd_enable=YES
# service seatd start
$ sway
To use ConsoleKit2 run
# pkg install consolekit2 basu
# sysrc -x seatd_enable
# service seatd stop
# sysrc dbus_enable=YES
# service dbus start
$ ck-launch-session sway
where "ck-launch-session" can be dropped after
# echo "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" >>/etc/pam.d/system
$ exit # log out to re-trigger PAM
Known issues:
- Garbage on console due to missing K_OFF, see

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/seatd: drop SUID option after b8a20cd29e54
It's not possible to restrict setuid bit to "video" group without also
breaking compositor nesting (e.g., hikari on sway). So, leave setuid
handling to a dedicated executable. seatd-launch works similar to
ck-launch-session by starting the daemon on demand. |
