de/wm not detected correctly (xsessions)

[wick3dr0se]

Check commit 0bdfb0e should fix by looking for $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP first

[jobbautista9]

It works now, thanks!

[wick3dr0se]

Sorry for the typo. I don't think anyone has that directory. It was failing on my machine too; I just didn't notice because all of the de/wm options print 'i3' for me. Commit 6faf4ee should be good to go

[jobbautista9]

Thanks. It no longer shows as Weston, but it still doesn't detect XFCE (nor its window manager xfwm4 either).

Can you run each one of these commands and share output of each in the same order? Make sure to use latest build from alpha branch

head /usr/share/xsessions/* | grep -im1 'names=' | sed 's/DesktopNames=//'

head /usr/share/wayland-sessions/* | grep -im1 'name=' | sed 's/name=//gi' | sort -u | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/, /gi'

xprop -root | grep -m1 '^_NET_WM_NAME' | sed 's/^_NET_WM_NAME//g;s/(UTF8_STRING) = //g'

First and third command returns nothing for me. Second command returns Weston.

Output of latest alpha:

Those are the ones I have included in the script to look for your desktop environment currently.

Maybe your system has the environment variable set since it's a DE, try these:
echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

We could use the very commonly pre-installed dependency wmctrl, which was the single dependency I required with first commit, try:
wmctrl -m

Possible alternative could be:
ps -e | grep "xfce"
and filter output

[jobbautista9]

echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = XFCE
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION = lightdm-xsession

I didn't have wmctrl installed. Installed it, and wmctrl -m returns:

Name: Xfwm4
Class: xfwm4
PID: 3669
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: N/A

ps -e | grep "xfce":
