New comment by FollieHiyuki on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/33167#issuecomment-929407474 Comment: The error literally said what went wrong. I assume your $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to `/tmp` which is owned by root. You should make it a subdir of `/tmp` instead. For example, here is a snippet from the script I use to start sway: ```bash if [ -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" ] then userid=$(id -u ${USER}) export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$(mktemp -d /tmp/${userid}-runtime-XXXXXX)" if [ ! -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" ] then mkdir -p "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" fi fi ```
