bar VS ly-void

OpenBSD, bed, nsxiv, bar, tewi

You can see the source code here. It's a tool for generating status bar output for text-based status bars like dzen2, xmobar, or lemonbar. Feedback welcome!

It's optional though and you can easily replace it with something else. A lot of i3/bspwm users use something like polybar, lemonbar or yabar instead. When I was on bspwm I used tint2. These are all highly customizable, and tiling wm users tend to be the sort who want to customize them, which can be time consuming. But you can use almost anything, even something like the xfce4 panel if you want.

I like polybar but if you want something simpler, try lemonbar

I now run bspwm, along with sxhkd, picom, and lemonbar, as separate userland runit services; my .xinitrc now reads exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 runsvdir -P "${HOME}/.local/service/"

lemonbar

I actually just got ly working on void! be sure you clone latest with `--recurse-submodules`. be sure you install `base-devel xauth xorg-devel pam-devel xorg-minimal libxcb-devel`. then take the makefile and res/ly-runit-service/* from https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. then run `make` and `sudo make install`

After building & installing ly demonstrate manager (https://github.com/nullgemm/ly) i can't‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­seem to start it as there is no entry in /etc/sv to start. I then came across this: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. A build of ly that supports runit & sure enough it has a service to start however when i restart my pc and ly display manager starts, even with the right credentials it does not log in, only turning off my monitor for a moment then booting back into the display manager screen. This is the case for starting my window manager, starting my .xinitrc however it can successfully start the shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated to either start the official build, or to correct the modified one.

I'm attempting to install ly-void, a fork of the ly display manager for voidlinux. However, after I clone the repo and type make github I get an error, make: *** No rule to make target 'github'. Stop.

I haven't really had trouble with Ly on Arch (systemd). Gentoo's OpenRC seemed to cause some issues for me, but ly is built to be system-agnostic so I have no idea. This fork seems to fix some issues (Void is also an OpenRC init). https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void

What DM are you using? I tried to compile both ly-void and normal ly according to this guide.

I recently installed the LY login manager but for void from this guide here: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. After doing so, when rebooting my PC it takes me to LY but when I try to log in, if the info is correct it just says logged out and doesn’t let me in. I have it installed alongside SwayWM. Is there any way I can get back into the system to fix this issue or am I screwed? Thanks.
