{SOLVED} niri not launching

[remote helm]

I recently reinstalled gentoo and never got this error before, i may have screwed something up

(Im using seatd as a replacement for elogind incase that means something)

have you tried running niri-session? not sure if it is different to niri --session

[remote helm]

I use openrc, niri-session works only on systemd

After some research, i think the issue here might be the fact that i somehow dont have a $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

[somber coral]

it does? ah yea i used it with nixos forgot. try adding this to ur ~/.bash_profile.

if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/${UID}-runtime-dir
    if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
        mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
        chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
    fi
fi

[remote helm]

It worked

Thank you
