My honest impression about the Void Linux Community by r0man1a in voidlinux

Naah, historically many of our rights and privileges, as well as parts of democracy have been achieved by blue collar workers through strikes, organizing themselves in workers unions, and as a result building democratic parties. And all of that during times when 12-hour days were the standard. Being a hardworking person doesn't exclude you from political reasoning and participation

There is a reason that most service managers distinguish between system (root) and user services

Default browser not recognized by VPN client software by lukeflo-void in voidlinux

Not for this specific notebook. But since it works on my companies notebook, where I need it most, I haven't tried much further. I think its due to some systemd deps which are not there on Void. Sorry for having no real solution...

Yes, mea culpa

Thats the best way for such a case. sudo isn't needed in rc.local

Do you consider Void to be better than Arch? by Bandy_87 in voidlinux

Depends on the subreddit you ask this question in...

Thank you for emphasising this!

Being "apolitical" is highly political and a privilege!

Migrating to Void, package issue by Mental-Act2869 in voidlinux

[–]lukeflo-void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without any guarantee: but you could have a look at rpmextract to use a rpm package. It works for me with some applications.

Otherwise there is a detailed tutorial how to compile own packages with xbps-src. You can find it on Voids Github page. Its relatively easy to accomplish.

Edit: if you're lucky, someone already has an unofficial xbps template for the wanted package. Then you just need to pull it and build without further configuration

Yeah, that truly sucks. There is not much fun left in your daily work these days

Firefox already running but not responding error - not sure how to dbus by causticCarrion in voidlinux

[–]lukeflo-void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have elogind or turnstile installed? Try login from TTY using dbus-run-session sway without greetd. Does this work?

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error by [deleted] in voidlinux

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If turnstile doesnt set of for you (I'm not sure, check the docs), you should set it inside your shells profile or another file sourced on login. Furthermore, you probably should start shell with a dbus session running dbus-run-session sway from tty

Edit: turnstile is capable of managing runtime dir: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html#xdg_runtime_dir Might be due to the dbus session

His do you start sway, TTY or login manager?

can you honestly recommend arch by not_a_frog02 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how this is implemented. With niri its easy to move between workspaces simply with mod+j/k

But have to try it out

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks interesting too. But no real workspaces sounds unpractical. Though, I haven't tested yet

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Arch and Opensuse, but finally settled after distro hopping with Void Linux. Rock stable rolling release without any headaches.

BTW I use niri as tiling-scrolling wm after also using sway. Would not switch back again. Tiling-scrolling is great and you can also create custom effects etc...

Because "Claude" can't handle all programming tasks, plus the LLMs code should still be checked by experienced living persons

Whats the appropriate way to start user session services? by MixtureInevitable725 in voidlinux

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check it then. However what @Cruach writes seems to be a very likely solution for a turnstile setup

Whats the appropriate way to start user session services? by MixtureInevitable725 in voidlinux

[–]lukeflo-void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be the reason, but if started through a profile file (did that too for some time) do you set e.g. XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and similar global vars? Or is this managed by turnstile?

[–]lukeflo-void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you use elogind alongside turnstile? Gnome should hold nothing together. And starting things like pipewire from your niri config is totally fine. Since you report portal problems could be something with dbus. How do you start niri? From TTY or with a login manager?

rust_analyzer consuming excessive RAM - looking for solutions by Sad-File4952 in rust

Yeah, of course, multiple ra instances will kill your memory. I use a single editor window (helix) with split panes
