Big thanks to Calandracas606, I used their work as a base

• Install
  • Install via Repository
  • Install and build via xbps-src
• Enable Services
• List of all components
• Information about Cosmic Greeter
• Start Cosmic Desktop

There is only a Repo for x86_64 Systems

1. If you haven't installed mesa-dri, please do it with: sudo xbps-install -S mesa-dri. ATTENTION: If you have a NVIDIA Graphic card, you need mesa-dri too, cosmic doesn't start, without mesa-dri, you can of yourse install also the nvidia driver, that isn't a Problem
2. Add Reposiotry

• glibc: echo 'repository=https://bellawagner.de/repo/x86_64' | sudo tee /etc/xbps.d/10-cosmic.conf
• musl: echo 'repository=https://bellawagner.de/repo/x86_64-musl' | sudo tee /etc/xbps.d/10-cosmic.conf

4. Update Package list: sudo xbps-install -S
5. Install single components with sudo xbps-install -S <package_name> or install all components, with sudo xbps-install -S cosmic-desktop
6. Optional, but recomended install firefox and sddm with sudo xbps-install -S firefox sddm

1. If you haven't install graphic drivers on your system do sudo xbps-install -S nvidia for nvidia and sudo xbps-install -S mesa-dri for other GPU's
2. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MtFBella109/void-packages.git
3. cd void-packages
4. ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
5. You can build single components with ./xbps-src pkg <package_name> or build every component with ./xbps-src pkg cosmic-desktop
6. Install the package with xi <package_name> or with xbps-install --repository hostdir/binpkgs <package_name>

   Note: You get the xi command with the package xtools

7. Optional, but recomended install firefox and sddm with sudo xbps-install -S firefox sddm

1. You need to enable dbus and elogind, if you enable then, you need to do restart, before you can start cosmic
2. For all settings in Power&Battery you need to enable also the profile-power-daemon

All packages:

• cosmic-applets
• cosmic-applibrary
• cosmic-bg
• cosmic-comp
• cosmic-desktop (Metapackage)
• cosmic-edit
• cosmic-files
• cosmic-greeter❌ Does not work (see below)
• cosmic-icons
• cosmic-idle
• cosmic-launcher
• cosmic-notifications
• cosmic-osd
• cosmic-panel
• cosmic-player
• cosmic-randr
• cosmic-screenshot
• cosmic-session
• cosmic-settings
• cosmic-settings-daemon
• cosmic-term
• cosmic-theme-editor
• cosmic-wallpapers
• cosmic-workspaces-epoch
• xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic
• pop-launcher

Cosmic-greeter doesn't work. I couldn't figure out why, for me It seems like, that it has something to with pam and/or elogind. Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge on how to debug or fix this. The cosmic-greeter Package is becasue of that marked as broke and isn't on the cosmic-desktop metapackage for now. I testet to start cosmic with sddm and it worked, I think other login manager, are working too.

You can use sddm or other graphical Login Manager or you can start it manually:

1. Login as your user
2. Type start-cosmic

Note: The user, that runs start-cosmic, is automatically the user which is sgined in, in cosmic desktop
