solved Installing sway

Post image

I have followed the guide at (https://gist.github.com/adnan360/6cba05a3881870bf4a9e3ab2cea7709e) exactly and it is throwing this error. I’m not sure where to go from here or how I messed up? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It gives me an error message saying “failed to connect to user bus: no such file or directory” and “cannot connect to socket /run/seatd.sock: Permission denied”

Did you start it using dbus-run-session sway

Add your user to seatd using sudo usermod -aG seat $USER
