Need Help - Can't Open Wezterm
So I decided to give Void Linux another try.
Not too long ago, I had no problems installing Void with the base install, but this time I had to go with the xfce version. I originally didn't want to have to do this as my goal was to install i3, so now here I am removing everything having to do with xfce.
I have no clue on what happened during the process of setting up this laptop. It has been nearly 2 days now and I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out if I accidentally deleted a necessary package, or didn't install one in the first place.
And now I can't open Wezterm. I keep getting an XOpenDisplay error where the display won't open. And the main reason as to why I know this was because at the time, to make things simpler I was connected to the laptop through SSH from another computer and I stumbled across this strange behavior. At the time Wezterm was the only terminal I had installed on it and using sudo is the only janky thing that appears to work around this issue. And even then it doesn't appear to use my config file.
Just to test, I re-installed xfce4-terminal and that appears to open just fine directly on the laptop with i3. I also recently noticed similar behavior trying to open Gparted (only sudo works). Applications like firefox and thunar open just like you would expect it to.
To give a clearer picture, I'm attempting to go as minimal as possible; so for example I'm using startx instead of using lightdm.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've been doing some more research, and while I can admit that I don't completely understand how it worked, I installed some potentially missing vulkan drivers and now Wezterm opens! However, I still can't get Gparted to open without sudo. Could this have something to do with some kind of missing GTK package? I know that on my other computer (which is currently running EndeavourOS), if I use rofi to open up Gparted I at least get an authentication window prompt before it opens.
