enricobuehler	f3615f83a5	fix(gamescope): the takeover no longer kills the host it is running in ... Field report, Nobara + 0.20.0: switching into Game Mode mid-stream disconnects the client and the box never lights up again. His journal has the whole mechanism, ten seconds apart: 12:34:18.9 freed Steam: stopped the display manager for this stream 12:34:29.0 systemd[1685]: Stopping punktfunk-host.service Stopping the display manager ends the user's last login session. The packaged host is a `systemd --user` unit, so logind then stops user@1000.service once UserStopDelaySec elapses — 10s by default on Nobara — and takes the host with it. The stream dies, the scheduled restore never runs, and the display manager stays down with nothing left to restart it: a black box that needs a VT to recover. Exactly the two symptoms reported, and the intermittency is just whether an active Gaming Mode session was there to trigger the takeover at all. It never showed on the repro VM because lingering was enabled there for the earlier sessionless tests (`Linger=yes` — confirmed on the VM today), which is precisely the thing that breaks the dependency: logind keeps the user manager alive with no session. Our KDE/GNOME/Arch setup guides already ask for it; his box, following the KDE route, did not have it. So the takeover now ensures lingering BEFORE it touches the display manager: `loginctl enable-linger` directly (allow_active in logind's own policy — verified working unprivileged on Nobara), else the packaged helper gains a `linger` verb that enables it for PKEXEC_UID alone, never a caller-named user. If neither works the takeover is refused with an actionable error and managed degrades to attach — mirroring the box's own session is strictly better than a screen that needs a VT. Hosts that cannot be reached this way (root, a system unit) skip the check: the cgroup test is a pure `cgroup_under_user_manager` with a unit test, matched against the real shapes on a Nobara box (`user@1000.service/app.slice/...` vs a `session-N.scope`). Also documents the requirement in the gamescope guide's Nobara section. Checked on Linux: clippy -D warnings, 78 tests, rustfmt; helper verified with `sh -n`, and the linger enable/disable round-trip run live on the Nobara VM.	2026-07-27 19:04:20 +02:00
enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5	8d5a9f66c9	fix(gamescope): ship a packaged privilege path for the DM-stop takeover ... Field report (Nobara, 0.19.2): entering Game Mode mid-stream left the monitor on and the stream mirroring at the desktop's resolution. Root cause: the DM-flavor takeover needs privilege to stop plasmalogin, the polkit rule is a docs-only manual step nobody installs, so every managed entry silently degraded to ATTACH — and with a physical display connected the attach path mirrors the box's own session at its own mode. Ship the privilege with the packages instead: a root helper (libexec/punktfunk/pf-dm-helper, verbs stop|restore) behind its own polkit action (io.unom.punktfunk.dm-helper, allow_any — the same mechanism Nobara's os-session-select uses, and the helper derives the DM unit from the display-manager.service symlink itself so callers never name a unit across the privilege boundary). The host tries the plain system-bus verbs first (root / operator rule still take precedence), then pkexec's the helper; the restore paths (idle restore + in-stream desktop-switch honor) use the same ladder so a takeover that needed the helper can always be undone by it. Packaged in rpm/deb/arch (Arch under /usr/lib/punktfunk with the policy's exec.path annotation rewritten; the host probes both layouts). Nix is left out deliberately: store paths can't match the probe, NixOS keeps the manual rule. Docs updated — the rule snippet stays as the scoped alternative.
