The server loops endlessly in following scenarios: - client sends less bytes than IPC header requires - client sends less bytes than defined by payload size - client sends more payload data than buffered by operating system This happens because the server relies on the buffering in sockets by the operating system. The server only retrieves bytes from buffer when enough bytes are available. To prevent this, store data in heap. Also check supplied payload length before working with that value. Proof of Concept client in Python (you will notice that sway process consumes a lot of CPU while the client is running): ``` import os import socket swaysock=os.environ['SWAYSOCK'] client = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) client.connect(swaysock) client.send(b'\x69\x33\x2D\x69\x70\x63\x00\x00\x00\x00\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\x00') input('Press enter to quit.') ``` |

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.
If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
- scdoc (optional: man pages) *
- git (optional: version info) *
*Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config
and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config
. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config
.
Run man 5 sway
for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway
from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
