06:33 wlb: weston Issue #898 opened by Vikas Korjani (vkorjani) Multiseat support, running weston on 2 different seats. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/898
15:07 ukiran: Hi
15:07 ukiran: am trying to launch the custom weston instead of gnome during system bootup
15:08 ukiran: could someone guide me if there is any pre-documented process to do so ?
15:10 ukiran: I tried creating a weston.service under /etc/systemd/system and added the custom weston binary and corresponding environment vars
15:10 soreau: you probably want to attack it by convincing the DM to launch it as a session choice
15:10 ukiran: after system reboot, it is rebooting with gnome only
15:11 soreau: you create a .desktop file in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ IIRC
15:11 soreau: and then if everything is correct, it should appear in the DM session selections
15:12 soreau: then you have a choice between gnome and weston at login time
15:13 ukiran: okay.
15:14 ukiran: so from the .desktop, do we need to launch the custom weston ?
15:14 soreau: right, the Exec line should be the full path to weston
15:14 ukiran: got it.
15:14 ukiran: let me give a try now
15:15 ukiran: @soreau, thank you for your reply
15:15 soreau: but IME, the binary had to be in /usr/bin or else gdm would refuse to load it
15:15 soreau: ukiran: sure, np
15:15 soreau: restrictions are less with other DMs
15:15 ukiran: but am going to set the required libs and paths in .desktop file onnly
15:17 soreau: I think you might be better to make a script and put it in /usr/bin/ and let that set any env vars and call the weston binary
