Black screen on Fedora 36

[madjxatw]

I had ly installed on a Fedora 36 machine but got a black screen with the flickering underscore. Executing sudo ly on the text console has no problem. It may have the same cause as #211 but I have no idea how to fix a potential SELinux issue with display manager. Please advice if anybody has managed to fix this, and waiting for some progress of #310

After executing the following commands and now I've managed to login.

ausearch -c 'ly' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ly
semodule -X 300 -i my-ly.pp

But there are still two major issues:

• The first attempt of login (pressing Enter after password typed) always results in logout, and the second attempt succeeds.
• systemctl restart ly.service does not work , the login interface doesn't show on tty2.

I'm having this problem too.
running as root will at least get me to a shell, but if i try starting sway for example, it's a no-go regardless of whether it runs as root, or whether or not i add an exception for it in SELinux.

On further inspection, i added some lines to my bashrc file to try debugging the situation.

/home/user/.bashrc

sway -d >/var/log/sway.log 2>&1

/var/log/sway.log

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set in the environment. Aborting.

So, for shiggles, i exported the variable it wanted in my bashrc file:
/home/user/.bashrc

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR='/run/user/1000'
sway -d >/var/log/sway.log 2>&1

worked that time!

Edited /etc/ly/wsetup.sh to have this line just before exec $@:

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$UID"

now works for all users

i noticed the change that added $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for ly but what actually creates that folder /run/user/$UID because i have to manually mkdir and chown it for my non root user

I still have this problem in Fedora 37, using the latest master branch. Could some one help me troubleshooto it?
