Update PKGBUILD version / update-pkgver (push) Successful in 3s
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.

# Moongreet
|
||
|
||
A greetd greeter for Wayland, built with Rust + GTK4 + gtk4-layer-shell.
|
||
Part of the Moonarch ecosystem.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **greetd IPC** — Communicates via `$GREETD_SOCK` (length-prefixed JSON)
|
||
- **User list** — Parsed from `/etc/passwd` (UID 1000–65533)
|
||
- **Avatars** — AccountsService icons, `~/.face` fallback, default SVG with theme tinting
|
||
- **Sessions** — Discovered from `/usr/share/wayland-sessions/` and `/usr/share/xsessions/`
|
||
- **Last user/session** — Remembered in `/var/cache/moongreet/`
|
||
- **Power actions** — Reboot / Shutdown via `loginctl`
|
||
- **Layer Shell** — Fullscreen via gtk4-layer-shell (TOP layer)
|
||
- **Multi-monitor + hotplug** — Full greeter UI on all monitors (keyboard input on first), hotplugged monitors get windows automatically
|
||
- **GPU blur** — Background blur via GskBlurNode (shared cache across monitors)
|
||
- **i18n** — German and English (auto-detected from system locale)
|
||
- **Faillock warning** — Warns after 2 failed attempts, locked message after 3
|
||
- **Fingerprint** — fprintd support via greetd multi-stage PAM (configurable)
|
||
- **Journal logging** — `journalctl -t moongreet`, debug level via `MOONGREET_DEBUG` env var
|
||
- **Password wiping** — Zeroize on drop
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- GTK 4
|
||
- gtk4-layer-shell (for Wayland fullscreen)
|
||
- greetd
|
||
|
||
## Building
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build --release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install binary
|
||
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/moongreet /usr/bin/moongreet
|
||
|
||
# Install config
|
||
sudo mkdir -p /etc/moongreet
|
||
sudo cp config/moongreet.toml /etc/moongreet/moongreet.toml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## System Setup
|
||
|
||
1. Edit `/etc/moongreet/moongreet.toml` — set an absolute path for the wallpaper.
|
||
|
||
2. Create cache directory:
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/moongreet/last-session
|
||
sudo chown greeter:greeter /var/cache/moongreet
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Configure greetd (`/etc/greetd/config.toml`):
|
||
```ini
|
||
[default_session]
|
||
command = "niri -c /etc/greetd/niri-greeter.kdl"
|
||
user = "greeter"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4. Install the polkit rule so the greeter user can reboot / power off:
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo install -Dm644 config/polkit/50-moongreet-power.rules \
|
||
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-moongreet-power.rules
|
||
```
|
||
Without this rule, `loginctl reboot` / `loginctl poweroff` fail because
|
||
greetd's greeter session is inactive in logind.
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Run tests
|
||
cargo test
|
||
|
||
# Build release
|
||
cargo build --release
|
||
|
||
# Run locally (without greetd, disables layer-shell)
|
||
MOONGREET_NO_LAYER_SHELL=1 ./target/release/moongreet
|
||
```
