to the environment.systemPackages list in configuration.nix. (If using home manager, this

might be accomplished by other means.)

== Change of Wiki ==

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)

The old code should work because the <code>WAYLAND_DISPLAY</code> and <code>DISPLAY</code> variables are given to the systemd user daemon by NixOS's sway config [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e8c38b73aeb218e27163376a2d617e61a2ad9b59/nixos/modules/programs/wayland/sway.nix#L125].
