SWAY: Help Needed

Hi Guys,

I installed Artix (Runit) base install yesterday and all is working fine, except...I installed Sway, no issues there, but when I try and get Waybar working it doesn't show.  I tried launching waybar from the terminal and it produced this error "Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY"

I launch sway from the tty.

Any suggestions?

I think that dbus is needed by waybar and that dbus is normally started up via an xdg entry. Do you have xwayland installed. And of course sway might be a user started thing and then you have to have a user dbus or something.

I have just installed xorg-xwayland, do I also need to install dbus then?

after I install xwayland, I added a dbus command to my bash profile and all is working fine now.  Thanks!
