Brian Ashworth 8fd3f32c79 Fix segfaults on output destruction
This fixes two causes of segfaulting when an output is destroyed.

The first occurred when an output was never enabled. The issue was that
the destroy signal was never initialized so when it was emitted, sway
segfaulted. This was fixed by moving the initialization into
`output_create` since all outputs, regardless of whether they have ever
been enabled, will be destroyed at some point.

The second occurred when the cursor was on an output that was being
destroyed. The sway output would have already been removed, but if there
are other outputs, a cursor rebase would still occur. Since the
wlr_output still existed and the sway output was destroyed, the cursor
could be over nothing, resulting in a segfault when trying to get the
sway output, which was destroyed.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

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

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • pam (optional: PAM support for swaylock)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg and swaylock

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).
