I'm having the same issue, EndeavourOS on openbox.
Alright I figured it out.
I had to install the mate-polkit package (though any polkit should work) then autostart it when I log into my WM. In mate's case you need to run the full path, /usr/lib/mate-polkit/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1
I don't know much about Gentoo so I don't know if it would work any different there but yeah I think that's the solution.
(Unrelated question, isn't hyprland just a compositor? How can you run it as a standalone?)
Thank you, that seems to have fixed it. I'm using the gnome polkit agent and it works perfectly. I just added exec-once = /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-autentication-agent-1
to my hyprland.conf
As for the Hyprland question "compositor" doesn't mean the same thing on Wayland as it does on X11. Generally all window managers are considered "compositors". There's no Wayland server or equivalent to picom, everything is integrated into one package.
Apologies if this is a known thing and I missed it. I installed An Anime Game Launcher and The Honkers Railway Launcher via the Gentoo ebuilds. After downloading the games I am now stuck at a button that says "disable telemetry" and seemingly can't proceed further. Launching from a terminal shows this:
followed by this when I click the button:
apparently there's no session file, but I'm not sure what to do about that. I'm running under a dbus session so it shouldn't be that? I does appear to be looking for a file in the portage build directory which of course no longer exists, so I imagine that's probably part of the issue? It also seems to be trying to echo an empty string to the hosts file presumably something in the missing file.
I'm running gentoo with the 23.0 desktop openrc profile with hyprland. Let me know if you need anything else.
