sessiond#

sessiond is a session management daemon for systems that do not want to depend on (e)logind.

Session information is exposed over the Hyprwire protocol, letting clients determine which session belongs to which user and inspect session state. The protocol is split across three specifications:

• protocols/session_management_v1.xml: creating and destroying sessions
• protocols/session_core_v1.xml: querying session information
• protocols/seat_v1.xml: acquiring seats

sessiond implements parts of the org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit D-Bus interface for drop in polkit support.

Seat tracking is currently a work in progress; full multi-seat support is planned.

Features#

• Session registration and tracking via a PAM module
• Session state (active/inactive, local/remote, owning uid) exposed over Hyprwire
• Partial ConsoleKit D-Bus interface for polkit
• Seat and device tracking (work in progress)
