[+] [3075] AIMP terminates when monitor resumes from inactivity on Niri

[tfirkins]

I have observed that AIMP gets terminated when the monitor resumes operation after being suspended due to inactivity. I don't really see anything using journalctl --user -b -0 -e or I would share the log. If you have tips on how I should parse the log or where else to look I will do so.

Looking into this further, this is an xwayland-satellite issue, not AIMP. Using Noctalia's "screen off " function set to 6 seconds, I let the screen shut off, waited a few minutes, then resumed the system, and noted the time, the music stopped at that same instant. I used journalctl --user -b -0 -e and noted these log entries:
Jul 19 20:14:05 ECT niri[1058]: 2026-07-20T03:14:05.482406Z DEBUG niri::backend::tty: disconnecting connector: "HDMI-A-2"
...

When DPMS turns off HDMI-A-2 on Niri, the 0-output state causes xwayland-satellite to exit (Rust panic). All active X11 clients (like AIMP) are killed instantly when the socket collapses. I'll search for updates to xwayland-satellite and continue testing,

Thank you for a detailed information and research.
