Package: waybar
Version: 0.9.16-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Could it be possible by improving the .service file to not start its service
when the graphical session is not a sway/wlroots based one?
It would avoid to have multiple messages like the following:
déc. 27 14:40:08 kos-moceratops systemd[2258]: waybar.service: Scheduled
restart job, restart counter is at 4.
déc. 27 14:40:08 kos-moceratops systemd[2258]: Stopped Highly customizable

customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors..
And so 'systemctl --user status' reports 'State: degraded' probably due to
that.
I know that I can mask it in my own graphical session (GNOME).
Lastly, I don't know if this could be possible because I did not check how
other desktop session .service files
deal to avoid such cross-desktop "pollution". Or if it's really useful.
Regards,
Patrice
