test CodeQL Copr build status

Overview

sessiond is a daemon for systemd-based Linux systems that interfaces with systemd-logind to provide session management features to X11 window managers.

Its primary responsibility is to monitor keyboard and mouse activity to determine when a session has become idle, and to then act accordingly.

It also provides a DBus service with interfaces to backlights and audio sinks.

Features

  • automatic screen locking on session idle and before sleeping
  • automatic backlight dimming on session idle
  • automatic muting of audio while session is locked
  • systemd targets activated by systemd-logind's lock, unlock, sleep, and shutdown signals
  • hooks triggered by inactivity or signals
  • a DBus service
    • backlight interaction
    • audio sink interaction
  • (optional) management of DPMS settings

sessiond's Issues

Invalid GVariant format string

Investigate what's causing this warning:

the GVariant format string '(b)' has a type of '(b)' but the given value has a type of '(uo)'
g_variant_get: assertion 'valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, value)' failed

Automatic inhibitors

Automatic inhibitors feature:

  • Requires addition of client source (or enhancement of XSource)
  • Defined in [[Inhibitor]] array in sessiond.conf
  • Matched against X11 client class, instance, or title
  • Hold inhibitor lock while client is running

Can this project replace gnome-session, xfce-session etc?

I always hope to have a DE independent session manager.
Can this project replace gnome-session, xfce-session ... since it is also a X11 session manager?

BTW, may this project absorb the function of wireplumber?
So that all session related background operation can be combined into one single user service and the configuration can be summaried into one place.
