niri + noctalia-shell + void

• install niri emptty ghostty git ImageMagick xdg-desktop-portal brightnessctl curl cliphist cava wlsunset evolution-data-server
• install void-packages & patch quickshell & install
• https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/1pclf8y/did_anyone_managed_to_use_quickshell_with/

• FYI steps for noobs like me..

  1. clone the void-packages repo

  git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git
  cd void-packages

  2. install quickshell (which is linked in the comment above) 

  ./xbps-src pkg quickshell

  2-1. patch void-packages/srcpkgs/quickshell/template with -DHYPRLAND=ON 

   sudo xbps-install -R hostdir/binpkgs -u quickshell

  3. Optional-ish: the above ./xbps-src pkg quickshell gave me errors that the SHA256sum didn't match the template from OPs link. In the template there is a link to the quickshell package where they got the checksum. Install the package from that link and use the checksum from it, like this:

  curl -L -o quickshell-0.2.1.tar.gz \
    https://git.outfoxxed.me/quickshell/quickshell/archive/v0.2.1.tar.gz

  That will download the quickshell package. Now get the checksum:

  sha256sum quickshell-0.2.1.tar.gz

  And put the output into the template by replacing it in the checksum= line:

  vim srcpkgs/quickshell/template

  4. Optional(2): move the quickshell package to your local xbps src. Put the quickshell package with the checksum you got into your local source

  mv quickshell-0.2.1.tar.gz hostdir/source/

  Now rerun step 2 and it should work.
