niri is not in the current release, will be the next one. Sorry that's not represented in the docs, currently. It also requires niri-git , which should be annotated.
systemupdater - only works if the widget is on the bar, and it kinda seems useless to me in that it just triggers an update. But the system updater as a whole needs some work.
Hi! updated to the git version and while the command works, it's not taking neither satty nor swappy to edit the image, i do have niri-git
You might have to be on a newer niri-git? Not sure when it was added
I think niri-git is Arch-only think.
I'm on Ubuntu 25.10
Let me know if niri-git can be installed on Ubuntu.
If you installed with dankinstall, you can run dms , go to update, toggle niri for an update

I'm up to date afaik
Noticed that the screenshot's namefile is something like "dms-screenshot-BUNCHOFNUMBERS.png" so DMS does know the namefile it's just not piping it to satty
It needs niri's IPC to communicate when the screenshot was completed, then it needs the editor tool, like swappy installed.
And as said, it needs an unreleased version of niri. You can prove niri is new enough by running niri msg -j event-stream, taking a screenshot, and you should see something like this:
If not, then niri isnt sending the event (probably because the build isnt new enough)
I'm getting same error for all widget commands like dms ipc call widget list etc
