Hi,
This looks like a problem I had in June of this year. Something to do
with swaylock needing pam stuff instead of setuid. I fixed it by
removing the setuid on swaylock and adding the following service:
(define swaylock-service-type
(service-type
(name 'swaylock)
(description "Swaylock needs /etc/pam.d/swaylock configuration.")
(extensions
(list
(service-extension pam-root-service-type
(lambda (_)
(list
(pam-service
(name "swaylock")
(auth
(list
(pam-entry (control "include")
(module "login"))))))))))
(default-value #f)))
This works for me but I am not sure it's still needed. I am pretty sure
swaylock does not like to be setuid anymore.
A way to figure out what is wrong on your system would be to just run
swaylock from something like xterm and capture all output somewhere to
review later. It will probably utter some complaints to stdout or
stderr.
Cheers,
Remco
