Sway 1.4 is only possible in 19.10 due to some dependencies.
I've no idea how to set up a ppa, so in order to install:
- Download packages below (no need for wlroots-dev and -examples)
sudo dpkg -i libwlroots*deb sway*debsudo apt -f install
A new sway session should be available on GDM. Lightdm won't be able to start any wayland sessions.
I personally use my own session files for the login manager:
- https://github.com/luispabon/sway-dotfiles/blob/master/assets/ubuntu-sway.desktop --> copy to
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/ubuntu-sway.desktop - https://github.com/luispabon/sway-dotfiles/blob/master/ssway --> copy to
/usr/bin/ssway- this sway startup file creates logs on your home folder as well as setting a number of environment variables for desktop integration, firefox, qt and java fx apps as well as starting your ssh agent. Script uses fish, not bash. - https://github.com/luispabon/sway-dotfiles/blob/master/assets/ubuntu-sway-debug.desktop --> in case you want to start a debug session (more verbose logs)
