issue running xwayland-satellite: No such file or directory #343

Open KiaraGrouwstra opened 1 week ago

going by https://github.com/sodiboo/niri-flake/commit/1944dcb497ca7d78a43d98258bbc45c1706f2919, i tried installing xwayland-satellite. as per https://github.com/Supreeeme/xwayland-satellite?tab=readme-ov-file#usage and https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Xwayland#using-xwayland-satellite, it seems invoking it should be a matter of just running xwayland-satellite, but that seemed to get me an error as follows:

thread 'main' panicked at /source/src/lib.rs:80:10: called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }

(RUST_BACKTRACE=1 xwayland-satellite appeared to not actually yield a stack trace.)

before diffing nixpkgs versions and the like, this does seem to be how the package would be invoked, right?

Do you also have Xwayland installed? The package i provide is not very robust, and i believe it relies on Xwayland being in the system path. This shouldn't be how it works ideally, but it is how it currently works because i have not done much work besides making it build and sharing that with others.
