[SOLVED] Socket file found at socket path /run/seatd.sock, refusing to start
Command 'ls -l' on /etc/seatd* showed that /run/seatd.sock is owned by root and video group. User is in video group,yet I still get 'Socket file found at socket path /run/seatd.sock, refusing to start' after running 'seatd-launch dwl'. That message is not really telling me much.

Presumably it means that there is a seatd running that uses that socket pathname.

Yes,I know this much but the problem is that this message shows and compositor does not start.

Why do you want to use the command seatd-launch dwl.
Is seatd running already?
Is there a dwl running already?

Sorry,It was my mistake becouse I have always used seatd like that and did not check 'dwl' by itself.
