Your bug report is missing debug logs. Please add a link to the full debug log file.

Err, I see it's up now. My bad,

[emersion]

Hmm, nothing useful in the debug log it seems. It appears that swaybg is spawned correctly and creates a layer-shell surface.

[shoober420]

Well my background is now grey instead of the jpg chosen.

Are you experiencing issues with anything other than swaybg on the output?

Can you please do the following:

1. Comment out the output * bg ~/Downloads/wallpaper.jpg fill line in your config
2. Start sway
3. Run the following from a terminal:

env WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 swaybg -o "*" -i ~/Downloads/wallpaper.jpg -m fill 2> swaybg.log

1. After a couple seconds, use Control+C to terminate swaybg.
2. Post the log

I'm going to play around with the "max_render_time" setting and see if it works properly. Here's the log.

swaybg.log

It seems like Sway never sends a configure event for the layer surface.

@emersion
Awesome, I’m glad that log caught something. The wallpaper was working great a couple of commits ago.

I've just seen this in my test VM, and I believe I know what's going on.
I have sway 1.5rc2 built against https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/a54ed8588177a679a131c621c0d300c6a9d910c5, but the installed wlroots package was at https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/842df2bd6c940c5f4933622987fc9a296f404d67. Rebuilding sway against updated wlroots fixed the issue so I suspect ABI changes in 'layer-shell: remove unused surface list'.

@shoober420 is there any chance that you've updated wlroots without rebuilding sway? Does rebuilding sway fix the issue?

[shoober420]

I keep sway, wlroots, and swaybg up to date consistently. I just compiled sway and wlroots right now, and the bug is still present.

[shoober420]

Fixed, thank you very much.
