Two question for Sway+seatd on Void (Musl)
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`

Ly display manager issues!
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.

*** No rule to make target 'github' when attempting to install ly-void
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.

First try on real hardware (software in desc)
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

Can’t get passed LY LM
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.

Bloated base install?
I definitely know what you mean; I used to use ly (and haven't been able to figure out how to write a package/service for it, yet) and would love to use that, again.

Display Managers and TTY
Yes, actually! Ly is a console-based display manager that allows you to select your login target between any of the standard sessions (KDEs, GNOMEs, and what have you), explicit launching of .xinitrc, or just dropping straight into terminal.
