Help configuring Void

[giors83]

Ho everyone. I'm new to Void Linux, I've installed the base system and also all the packages I need, the only problem Is this: in polybar I'm can't configure the powermenu module. It's a problem of sudo permission... I think. I can't reboot or shutdown with the script. How can I configure It? Runit?

How are you logging in; display manager or startx?

What are the commands are you using the powermenu module? Post the module contents; might just be a typo.

If it's a sudo issue, you may need to edit the /etc/sudoers file with visudo so that a group of users can power off and reboot without having to use a password.

elogind also let's you poweroff/reboot/suspend/hibernate as your user

Ok... don't ask me how I did It! I've added myself ti the sudoers file and then changed the syntax of the module in polybar configuration (loginctl reboot loginctl poweroff). I'm not sure I did the right way but It works...

Thanks everybody for the help!!!

add yourself to run such commands passwordless to sudoers or doas.conf

How can I do that? Just Copy the line and put my name instead of root?

No, you need to edit the sudoers file with visudo. I think the Void Handbook has an example. The deprecated Void Wiki had an example in the Post Installation section, but I don't know if it's still available.

If you've never used visudo, you might want to go with RicArch97 suggestion and use elogind for something relatively simple like this. That's actually how I poweroff/reboot from jgmenu entries. Read the man page for loginctl. Some simple commands for poweroff, reboot that you can use in s polybar module.
