GTK4 under greetd does not honour XCURSOR_THEME reliably — the env-prefix
hack in /etc/greetd/config.toml only reached the wlroots pointer in cage,
while GTK widgets kept using the default fallback cursor. Mirror the
existing gtk-theme handling: new cursor-theme + cursor-size fields in the
[appearance] section, applied via gtk::Settings::set_gtk_cursor_theme_*.
Keeps the fix scoped to the greeter, no system-wide GTK config changes.
The v0.8.4 keyboard fix only half-worked: keys were still dropped
until the pointer moved to the built-in panel. Niri scopes layer-shell
keyboard routing per active output, so a single Exclusive surface is
not enough when another output is active.
Revert 2026-04-08 partially: only the built-in panel shows the login
widget, other monitors get a wallpaper-only window with
KeyboardMode::None. Hotplugged monitors also get wallpaper-only.
Compositor-agnostic — no Niri IPC.
DisplayLink/evdi virtual displays enumerate as DVI-I-* before eDP-1 and
were stealing the KeyboardMode::Exclusive grab on the first enumerated
monitor, leaving the visible greeter surfaces without keyboard input.
Introduce pick_primary_monitor_index() that prefers eDP/LVDS/DSI
connectors for the keyboard grab and falls back to index 0 when no
built-in panel is present. Pure, unit-tested; hotplug path unchanged.
The rule that grants the greeter user authorization for
org.freedesktop.login1.{reboot,power-off} lived only in the moonarch
repo and was never installed by any PKGBUILD. On a fresh install the
reboot/shutdown buttons silently failed because greetd's greeter
session is inactive in logind and polkit denies inactive sessions by
default.
Move the rule into the moongreet source tree where it belongs and
ship it via moongreet-git.
Greeter windows were only created at startup. Hotplugged monitors (e.g.
HDMI reconnect) would show no UI. Connect to the monitor ListModel's
items-changed signal to create greeter windows for newly added monitors.
Aligned with moonlock's hotplug fix using the same pattern adapted for
gtk4-layer-shell (ListModel) instead of session-lock (connect_monitor).
Layer-shell keyboard grab is only confirmed by the compositor at map
time. The previous realize-time grab_focus() could fire before the
compositor assigned keyboard input, causing intermittent input loss.
- Add 30s timeout with SIGKILL to power actions (adapted from moonset)
- Add 500ms minimum login response time against timing enumeration
- Cache GREETD_SOCK in GreeterState at startup
- Add [profile.release] with LTO, codegen-units=1, strip
- Add compressed="true" to GResource CSS/SVG entries
- Add SYNC comments to duplicated blur/background functions
- Add nix dependency for signal handling in power timeout
- Add zeroize dependency, wrap password in Zeroizing<String> from entry extraction
through to login_worker (prevents heap-resident plaintext)
- Add MAX_BLUR_DIMENSION (1920px) downscale before GPU blur to reduce 4K workload
- Wallpaper: use symlink_metadata + is_symlink rejection in greeter.rs and config.rs
- Avatar: add is_file() check, swap lookup order to ~/.face first (consistent with
moonlock/moonset)
- greetd errors: show generic fallback in UI, log raw PAM details at debug level only
- fprintd: validate device path prefix before creating D-Bus proxy
- Locale: cache detected locale via OnceLock (avoid repeated env/file reads)
Colloid-Catppuccin theme loaded via ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css at
PRIORITY_USER (800) was overriding moongreet's PRIORITY_APPLICATION (600),
causing avatar to lose its circular border-radius.
- Use STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER for app CSS provider
- Replace border-radius: 50% with 9999px (GTK4 CSS percentage quirk)
- Include missed Cargo.lock and PKGBUILD updates from v0.6.0
GskBlurNode samples pixels outside texture bounds as transparent,
causing visible darkening at wallpaper edges. Fix renders the texture
with 3x-sigma padding before blur, then clips back to original size.
Symmetric fix with moonset v0.7.1.
Wallpaper is installed by moonarch to /usr/share/moonarch/wallpaper.jpg.
Embedding a 374K JPEG in the binary was redundant. Without a wallpaper
file, GTK background color (Catppuccin Mocha base) shows through and
wallpaper-only windows on secondary monitors are skipped.
Address all findings from quality, performance, and security audits:
- Filter greetd error descriptions consistently (security)
- Re-enable power buttons after failed action (UX bug)
- Narrow TOCTOU window in avatar loading via symlink_metadata (security)
- Allow @ in usernames for LDAP compatibility
- Eliminate unnecessary Vec allocation in passwd parsing
- Remove dead i18n field, annotate retained-for-future struct fields
- Fix if/if→if/else and noisy test output in power.rs
Replace CPU blur (image crate + disk cache + async orchestration) with
GPU blur via GskBlurNode — symmetric with moonlock and moonset.
Removes ~15 transitive dependencies and ~200 lines of caching code.
First launch with blur blurs and saves to /var/cache/moongreet/.
Subsequent starts load the cached PNG directly. Cache invalidates
when wallpaper path, size, mtime, or sigma changes.
Gaussian blur applied at texture load time when `background-blur` is
set in the [appearance] section of moongreet.toml. Blur runs once,
result is shared across monitors.
- Rework load_background_texture(): use resources_lookup_data()/from_bytes()
for GResource path (no abort on missing resource), add 50 MB file size limit,
handle non-UTF-8 paths gracefully
- Filter error details to debug level only — warn! logs without internal details
to prevent system info leaking into journal
- Make debug logging opt-in via MOONGREET_DEBUG env var (default: Info)
- Truncate greetd error description in stale-session retry path using
MAX_GREETD_ERROR_LENGTH (matching show_greetd_error())
- Add 3 unit tests for load_background_texture edge cases
Replace env_logger file-based logging with systemd-journal-logger for
consistency with moonlock and native journalctl integration. Add debug-level
logging at all decision points: config loading, user/session detection,
avatar resolution, locale detection, IPC messages, login flow, and
persistence. No credentials are ever logged.
Complete rewrite of the greetd greeter from Python/PyGObject to Rust/gtk4-rs
for consistency with moonset, single binary without Python runtime, and
improved security through Rust memory safety.
Modules: main, greeter, ipc, config, i18n, users, sessions, power
86 unit tests covering all modules including login_worker IPC flow.
Security hardening: shell-word splitting for exec_cmd, absolute path
validation for session binaries, session-name sanitization, absolute
loginctl path, atomic IPC writes.
