@Daxot @heindsight Was this intended to update Chrome too? I was going to give it a test, but I don't use Chrome, and updating it here seemed odd.

Oh, my fault. Resolved!

[tjkirch]

Thanks! I can confirm that this update works for me.

However, I quickly ran into alacritty/alacritty#7472 (a startup performance problem) so I downgraded back to 0.12.3. It may be worth waiting for 0.13.1? A number of people with different setups reported the same problem in that issue.

[tjkirch]

Alacritty 0.13.1 is out now, which supposedly fixes that startup issue: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases/tag/v0.13.1

@tjkirch did you had the time to check if 0.13.1 fixed your startup issue?

Yes, 0.13.1 works fine for me, and it no longer has the startup delay. I'll make a suggestion to the PR.

(Tangent: I had to update .xbps-checkvers-0.58.plist to reference cargo 1.75 instead of 1.74, otherwise it was going to rebuild all of rust, llvm, etc., which my machine can't handle. I'm not an expert with xbps-based builds, so I don't know if that would affect anything with this package; I'm guessing it's just a timing issue in the repos...)

I tested 0.13.1 using these changes, and it worked fine and no longer had the startup delay from 0.13.0.

Updated PR to 0.13.1 version

alacritty is broken and I can not launch a terminal from my user session. I've installed xterm to get the reason, it reads:

thread 'main' panicked at /host/cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/xkbcommon-dl-0.4.1/src/x11.rs:59:28:
Library libxkbcommon-x11.so could not be loaded.

I run alacritty-dev-0.14.0 on NetBSD and suspect there as a dependency or, linking missing in the updated Void package.
Can someone have a look?
Thanks!

[dataCobra]

Hmm, for me it works flawless.

@0323pin could you please create an issue with all the relevant information?
I think that is better suited in the case then using the merged PR.

[0323pin]

Sure, I'll create an issue.

[dataCobra]

Thanks but I can tell you I've already found the issue.

alacritty has a dependency with libxkbcommon-x11.

I'll create a PR asap to get that fixed.

[0323pin]

Thanks!

Yes, I know about the dependency. I maintain the package for NetBSD and as said run the dev version also.

[0323pin]

Manually installing the dependency fixes it.

[dataCobra]

@0323pin I created a new PR #48197 for the fix and will contact the Void devs for a quick merge.

[0323pin]

Thank you.
