A couple of problems here:
In value or position keystroke random erroneous interpretation in:
login/passwoard.
CR keystroke effect.
Within session selection(F3)
On the left border of the screen, login or password prompt may appear, likely depending on the in pregress input step.
Things are so unstable, in a row attempts limit may be hit before session does start, triggering postponing next attempt for a couple of mn.
It seems like some forum buddies are using it...
Using openrc here, what could I be missing here? No go systemd may be  ?
Side note: In an attempt to fix, I pulled gui-apps/tuigreet: version bump to 0.7.1 which fails to import some of the referenced 'crates' here.

I sometimes lose the login or password prompt, but if I just ignore it and type username<ENTER>password<ENTER> it logs in.
I think we have some variable(s) or virtual console settings wrong.
I'll try to tinker with greetd+tuigeet to get it working propely...

At least, I feel not being alone having problem of some sort...
Looking forward to have a fully functionnal text only session manager, which would fit my low memory preference:
I'll be waiting for 0.7.1 in portage tree, hoping it to fix..

One possible solution would be to set some sane values with stty before greetd starts tuigreet.
EDIT: Since tuigreet uses ncurses I think it does set some sane defaults too...

Thks to upstream gui-apps/tuigreet-0.7.1 unstable has been merged in portage tree.

0.7.2 of tuigreet has been released (also in gentoo repo).
I haven't yet tested it. Does it fix this, CaptainBlood?

As desapointing as before...
Things are runniing so bad, keystroke, session selection list browsing, etc...
I hardly believe someone can dev & publish such a garbage.
Beginning to think many unspecified things here may mismatch upstream env...
I may be doing things so wrongly here, though...

I just tested it too.
- "Username" gets displayed only after I have typed the username + <ENTER>
- ... exactly the same for password input
- Text input field gets cut at least on the command input field, so that it is cumbersome to type longer file path.
Are these also the symptoms you have on your machine, CaptainBlood?
EDIT to add: | package versions: | gui-apps/tuigreet-0.7.2
gui-libs/greetd-0.7.0 |
Anyways, I normally prefer agreety, since it gives me more flexibility (I can, for example force user to use specific gui using only a simple shell script.) But tuigreet looks "nicer".

OpenRC (with openrc-init too) here too. I don't think systemd is a requirement, but systemd may set some virtual console settings correctly (in favor of tuigreet) at boot. I'm just guessing here.

Yeah. I guess I could create an ebuild... I'll try to work on it in next few days.
EDIT: Oh it's a rust program. This might be PITA to accomplish.

Hey, your link ... I'm totally lost there... 
Believing you saying there's hope...
I may soon try to do it in my local repo my old fashion way, though...

It's a program that helps creating rust ebuilds.

Aaaaaaand, I'm not too keen creating an ebuild for it anymore: | greetd wiki wrote: | The currently known greeters are:
- agreety (text-based, included with greetd)
- gtkgreet (graphical, Gtk-based)
- wlgreet (graphical, raw Wayland client)
- dlm (graphical, raw fbdev client, semi-deprecated)
- tuigreet (console UI)

(Embhasis mine)

cargo-ebuild installed here...
Cloned dlm and created ebuild successfully; as far as crates are concerned...
Couldn't set SRC_URI to find package.tar.gz.
Had to manually create tar.gz in /var/cache/distfiles
Once Manifest created, keyworded ebuild & tested:
Failed to build.
0.1.0 seems unachieved.
At least I've learned about cargo-ebuild.

But really... Out of these greeters, agreety seems to be most customizable.
I command agreety to run custom script using --cmd which checks the UID among other things and then execs the desired wm/de/shell. The only drawback with agreety is that it lookg crude... Well, it's a agetty clone (kinda) after all.
But I go with function over form route. ;)

Recently installed alternative, with no ebuild yet.
Feel free to search in issues for an /etc/init.d/ly script link, and other gentoo related.
Working good enough to stay here, despite not compatible with gui-libs/display-manager-init .

More openrc friendly fork
requires | Code: | | sudo make installopenrc |
tty7 hardcoded in openrc init script => | Code: | grep tty /etc/ly/config.ini
# tty in use
tty = 7 |
