can this desktop work without systemd ?

[adcdam]

Can be build using cargo? i would really like to package this. Can the desktop be build using cargo and not using just?

Just is essentially just calling cargo. You can use the Justfile as a reference for building it manually.

can this desktop work without systemd ?

It should be! But it might require systemd-development files during building for the optional features anyway. Note however that systemd-less systems have not received the same amount of testing and some bugfixes might be necessary. That said systemd is definitely not a hard dependency.

i build to test fist using just

when i launch it say systemctl order not found
cannot open display "default display"
error : failed to connect to journald
no such file or directory (os error 2)
location 
src/main.rs:20

i saw source main.rs of cosmic session there is systemd mod here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-session/blob/master/src/main.rs

can this work with elogind? can someone do a just file that get the desktop work without systemd?

Cosmic-comp should work without systemd if compiled with --no-default-features: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/pull/81

There probably is a better solution in the long term. I added that to get cosmic-comp working on FreeBSD.

Can the desktop be build using cargo and not using just?

I don't think any of the pkgbuilds im using have just, note they haven't been clean chroot tested, so im not sure if im missing any deps (I probably am) https://github.com/Quackdoc/pkgbuild-scripts/tree/Master/cosmic-epoch

[tukanoidd]

Am wondering this as well. Using Void with runit and elogind.

[flukejones]

It requires something to provide the logind dbus interface, and something to provide udev libs. From what I can see there are no hard systemd requirements.

[jokeyrhyme]

I personally prefer systemd to the alternatives, but I have raised a few PRs to help make systemd optional in COSMIC:

• https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-session/pull/32
• https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-session/pull/34

[JimitSoni18]

Am wondering this as well. Using Void with runit and seatd.

[Quackdoc]

it should work, I had it working in a chroot. the major thing should just be udev stuff. I don't think cosmic-session hard relies on anything systemd now.

[SunilPaul174]

Still a problem on the attached machine. Is fixing this a priority?

[jokeyrhyme]

@SunilPaul174 I don't speak for System76, but it seems like they'll merrily accept PRs for this

They just don't have anyone focused on this at all at the moment (it's probably not something they've prioritised for any of the alpha/beta milestones) because Pop!_OS itself (the primary target) has systemd
