When I use ly or greetd to launch a wayland session it works just fine. When I launch an x session I get an error. I assume this is because I'm trying to use seatd instead of elogind because I want both wayland and xsessions to work from my greeter.
So the basic setup is:
Currently the /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop looks like:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Autism DWM
Comment=Dynamic Window Manager for X
Exec=startx /usr/local/bin/dwm
Icon=dwm
My /etc/ly/config.ini is only slightly changed I'll post it here just in case you need to look through: https://pastebin.com/Cvp3SGsK
the xserver output from attempting to start the xsession:

There are two obvious errors here:
The first seems like the actual error.
The second is printed also when I just startx after logging in because I don't have debus started or I don't have the particular dbus component it wants. I think it's not important. When I log in via terminal and run startx /usr/local/bin/dwm it works just fine. It also looks like elogind is required? I have seatd installed since I want to use wayland. Can I use seatd? How do I modify my setup?
Do I add a /usr/local/bin/dwm-wrapper script like so:
#!/bin/sh
env \
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 \
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=dwm \
startx /usr/local/bin/dwm
#dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startx /usr/local/bin/dwm
and point the dwm.desktop exec at it?
Do I add the dbus launch or can I skip it?
I tried adding the dbus-launch bit and it didn't effect the outcome.
