My understanding is rather "Wayland does not use Xsession.d, and systemd
provides an alternative to this Xsession.d mechanism that would run on these
systems. I have not found a Wayland-specific way.

Quick test only, good point. Of course I forgot to chmod +x. But it
didn't work :-(

Re-reading the doc, it seems that doing this would be an abuse of that
user-environment-generators mechanism.

The "right" systemd mechanism seems to be a Type=oneshot
/lib/systemd/user/*.service with a Slice=session.slice.

It did not :-). I'll try with a user service and report again. If it
works I'll propose a patch.

Best,
OdyX

Hi Didier,

first thanks for the bug report.

I only have a single Wayland system and that's clearly not yet ready
for production use and currently offline.

So this is only needed in the combination of Wayland AND systemd? That
kinda sounds weird.

Thanks for that tip. Is there a reason why you've copied it instead of
e.g. a symlink?

And thanks for that, too, in advance.

Bug#1019375: Not started under wayland/plasma

[Didier 'OdyX' Raboud]

Package: unburden-home-dir
Version: 0.4.2
Severity: important

Hello Axel,

with KDE's Plasma under Wayland, unburden-home-dir isn't started at all,
although other XSession.d scripts are.

What am I doing wrong?

Best,
Didier
