#!/bin/sh # Privileged display-manager verbs for the punktfunk managed gamescope takeover. # # On DM-autologin boxes whose display manager does not survive a masked session unit (Nobara's # plasmalogin, unknown DMs), taking the Gaming Mode session over means stopping the display # manager for the length of the stream and restarting it afterwards — root-only operations. The # host invokes this helper via pkexec under its own polkit action # (io.unom.punktfunk.dm-helper.policy, installed by the packages), the same mechanism these # distros use for their own session switching (Nobara's os-session-select). # # The unit is NEVER caller-controlled: it is derived here from the display-manager.service alias # symlink, so the polkit grant's blast radius is exactly "the box's own display manager" — a # local-seat operation, not arbitrary unit management. set -eu dm_unit() { target=$(readlink /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service) || { echo "pf-dm-helper: no display-manager.service alias — no display manager to manage" >&2 exit 1 } basename "$target" } case "${1-}" in stop) exec systemctl stop "$(dm_unit)" ;; restore) dm=$(dm_unit) # reset-failed first: a relogin loop may have tripped the unit's start limit, and a plain # restart would be refused until the accounting is cleared. systemctl reset-failed "$dm" 2>/dev/null || : exec systemctl restart "$dm" ;; linger) # Keep the caller's own `systemd --user` manager alive across the stop.
