Details

Description:

when package hidepid is installed gnome will always launch a Xorg session even when wayland session is requested in gdm.

wayland possibly needs something from /proc that comes from different user. (note that gdm launches under user gdm)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
hidepid 1-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
install hidepid
under gdm do not select Xorg session (wayland is now the default option)
log-in and see that a Xorg session has been launched anyway and wayland is not being used.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This isn't a bug in the hidepid package, it's a missing proc group exception elsewhere. The package and existing exceptions by other packages like polkit are only intended to be a starting point.

You'll need to figure out which process needs to be in the proc group. It's usually going to be a problem for that package to solve similar to how polkit is in the proc group. The proc group is part of the base Arch installation.
