[BUG] Rofi does not work in KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland) about rofi

[LorenzoBettini]

I tried rebuilding it from scratch after clearing yay cache and it now works!
Of course, it doesn't work for switching windows, but I guess that's known, isn't it?
Sorry for the noise, I think we can close this one.

Actually it's still broken for me (Fedora 40 / Plasma 6). I've tried the system package that Fedora ships, as well as building myself from git (head of wayland branch), and I have temporarily removed my config so it's using builtin defaults. Observed behavior is that no keys work. I can double-click things, but that's it.

When run from a console, it spams a bunch of lines like this:

(process:44967): libnkutils-bindings-CRITICAL **: 01:58:48.134: nk_bindings_seat_update_mask: assertion 'self->state != NULL' failed

@kaushiksahu18 gnome wayland is not supported as they have their do not expose a public protocol in the like of layer shell afaik. This is a separate issue

Works fine for me on arch 1.7.5.wayland3.r3.g47ae31eb-1, did you try to build it in a clean chroot? Any warnings about libnkutils during the build ?

[abatkin]

Interestingly, on a brand new VM (Fedora 40 + Plasma, fully updated) everything works with the system rofi-wayland package. But my other ("real") system doesn't work, even when the config is removed or it is run with -no-config.

@abatkin I have the same issue Fedora 40 and no config. Doesn't take any input

@abatkin
@carmen-gh

rofi -show run

(process:10717): Wayland-ERROR **: 22:21:18.309: Rofi on wayland requires support for the layer shell protocol
fish: Job 1, 'rofi -show run' terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

Same in nixpkgs-24.05, but in nixpkgs-23.11 (1.7.5+wayland2) can work.
