Are you possibly doing this for running pipewire in Wayland? I couldn't make it work on wayland so.

Not that I use it as it kills off my mouse button mapping I use but it does work in an autostart script I made the .xsessionrc into on my KDE desktop.

zeus@9600k:~$ cat bin/pipewire_start.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Added to start pipewire on login to desktop
# https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867
# was the ~/.xsessionrc -rw-rw-r-- permissions
# now ~/bin/pipewire_start.sh executable permissions
# as bash script loaded from KDE autostart in System Settings

# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1

exec /usr/bin/pipewire &

# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

# start wireplumber
exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &

# start pipewire-pulse
exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

Edit: I think others desktops have a similar feature to do the same.

you could give this thing i made a shot, it was originally made with the x11 achitecture in mind but it is written in pure posix shell and should be flexible enough to work with wayland, tho i still got to add some more stuff to differentiate the managed daemons in groups other than the current session service group

yes looks like there is an automatic "startx" after login, then I start WM with :

[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && exec dbus-run-session sway

Into .bash_profile

And start programs into WM's config but I don't like it...

I don't think this works at all in wayland unless they deliberately left this option in for wayland.

Btw, fun fact, there is also sx which is like startx but requires and provides less.

Its basically a suckless startx. I don't know the specifics, but on hyperbola, I don't need anymore functionality than that has.
Also, I tried startx on devuan a few times, it worked up until like 5 months ago. Weird it is.

Hi there,

I'm asking here because I think you guys are the most qualified to answer...

On x11, I used to startx with .bash_profile, then start the wm with the .xinitrc (and start some others stuff at startup), but I wonder what is the right procedure for wayland ?
ATM I start my wm (sway) into the .bash_profile and startup programs into .config/sway/config... But I don't like have startup programs into this file.
I wonder how you guys do ?

Thx and HF guys
