Sorry! Didn't know making that comment would re-open the issue!

#74 `wofi` not exiting after an entry is selected 4 years ago

Would you consider making a note of this in the README? sway and mako, for instance, make note of having dbus as a runtime dependency. For example, mako calls out:

| If you are using elogind, you might need to manually start a dbus user session: dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus

^^ That's how I was able to resolve this issue (coincidentally I was trying to resolve a mako issue haha - ended up killing two birds with one stone!)

I've gotten it to work by launching a dbus session (rather than the dbus system, which is enabled and running by default when upping the void linux dbus service). I don't know much about how dbus works so I can't explain why this works or if this was the way it was intended?

Still committed on resolving this. I was able to tackle a couple other issues I was having with wofi, which I had hoped would eliminate some variables in tracking down why this still isn't working.

I did look more into the reddit thread; unfortunately the related post just mentioned his issue was 'related to dbus' and didn't give much resolution.

I have tried tinkering around with dbus, namely disabling it completely, and was unable to affect any desired behavior.

For a little more context, here is what wofi relays to me while starting an application in drun mode, while still showing itself:

(wofi:4422): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 23:26:20.100: g_dbus_connection_flush: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

I'm unsure if that is at all related to why wofi isn't closing after launch? I did clone the repo, and this is with a wofi build from 292:71ee23539399, again on void-linux.

I tried taking a look at the source too, but I'm not much of a C programmer and am pretty unfamiliar with the GIO and GTK libraries :(

#73 sh: 1: exec: xterm: not found 4 years ago

AND I had to symlink /usr/bin/xterm to my actual terminal. Honestly, what's the point of a desktop spec if the spec isn't applicable outside of the gnome desktop environment?

The error of the sh: 1 xterm not found was because I didn't have the gsettings org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec key set correctly. Gnome is such a PITA :/.

I can definitely check into if dbus is interfering. Do you have that reddit thread link?

Saw your mention of this thread in the other issue, which I believe may be very closely related. I'm going to try and follow along with that discussion and see how it progresses. If you're not already following it, I'll follow up with the progress I see from it.

exact -> exit*

Okay, I am mistaken. It does in fact exact on key_submit while in run mode. So no issue there, only in drun mode.

This is from the void package, currently v1.1.1 obtained from

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wofi/template

Specifically, the x64-musl built version. The 1.1.2 version hasn't shown up yet in the xbps package manager for me yet.
