Scenario: | |||
On real hardware, I installed nixos with calamares but no desktop environment selected. Then, I proceeded with flakes and home manager proper configuration. Then I tried to follow the sway guide for home manager. It was then that I ran into this issue <https://discourse.nixos.org/t/wlr-errors-when-trying-to-start-sway/28698>. The solution of that thread worked for me. | |||
So, I propose that <hardware.opengl.enable = true> to be added in the sway with home manager session, | |||
To set up Sway using [[Home Manager]], first you must enable [[Polkit]] in your nix configuration: | |||
security.polkit.enable = true; | |||
Additionally, you must enable opengl in your nix configuration //<<<<NEW LINE 1>>>> | |||
hardware.opengl.enable = true; //<<<<NEW LINE 2>>>> | |||
A general suggestion of 2 new lines can be seen above. | |||
I just registered and I am new to nixos. I don't know the rules about editing the page, so I decided to post it as discussion first. | |||

:Hello RafTeog, | |||
:you can just start to edit the main page here. Its sometimes difficult to see whether a fix is just needed because you have some special circumstances. I am not a Sway user - maybe there are some circumstances where you dont need OpenGL, because you have an xserver enabled? | |||
:It may be a good way to just add a „Troubleshooting“ chapter and add your information about opengl and a link to the discource-discussion as a subsection. And: The troubleshooting chapter is already in this article. Maybe a subchapter like „Errors when trying to start sway?“. | |||
:Just start to contribute - have fun while doing it. Lets make this wiki ready for the 24.5 release together. [[User:Klinger|Klinger]] ([[User talk:Klinger|talk]]) 21:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
