Implementation of Projects:PinePhone Daily Driver using SwayWM.

Components

Setup

Configs are stored in a repository.

TODO: Create a postmarketOS package? [1]

Power Management

  • backlight off and CPU sleep when screen is locked via power button
  • handled via PinePhone-Toolkit

sudo

Add NOPASSWD for shutdown and reboot to wheel group:

visudo%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff,/sbin/reboot

elogind

Power key needs to be locked from elogind, otherwise it would shutdown the system. This way as long as the UI session is running, power button is ignored by elogind. Once the session ends and we're back in the login screen, the power button is again able to shutdown the system.

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop... Exec=elogind-inhibit --what=handle-power-key --mode=block dbus-run-session /usr/bin/sway ... (included in the POC repository)

SwayWM

(config included in the POC repository)

waybar

(config included in the POC repository)

  • Pick a theme! Mine is: [2]
  • [i] For clock module, don't forget to set the locale and timezone parameters, otherwise nothing will show up.

lisgd

sxmo#lisgd reconfigured through command line parameters in SwayWM config.

(config included in the POC repository)

PinePhone-Toolkit

Used mainly in SwayWM config.

Bluetooth

  • Enable the service on boot: rc-update add bluetooth
  • Enable the controller by default:

/etc/bluetooth/main.conf[Policy] AutoEnable=true
