There is no noctalia-shell in the package. Workaround: qs -c /etc/xdg/quickshell/noctalia-shell/shell.qml

@Lysec

We switched from quickshell to quickshell-git before due to super slow release cycles

That's great for you, but as users, this is extremely painful and annoying. are you open to building binaries / libs to your github workflow? If so, maybe I will add.

noctalia-qs and quickshell-git are now in conflict.But removing quickshell-git breaks a dependency by dms-shell-bin.

@ominoussage we just switched to our own fork of quickshell, for multiple reasons but first of all we switched from quickshell to quickshell-git before due to super slow release cycles (one of the reasons). Now since we're using our own fork we can add / change / fix things as we need / see fit while still having upstream for extra stuff. This gives us much more freedom compared to being stuck with quickshell itself.

I noticed that noctalia-qs in the AUR has been updated to 0.0.2-1. Just now, I tried using it to replace quickshell again, and this time I successfully ran noctalia.

so as the others have already said: i wanted to try this shell but having quickshell-git as a dependency is killing me. takes forever to compile and it's starting to fail after multiple re-installations...

any reason for the switch to -git?

@ninchan I also noticed that this package has been added to AUR. I'm afraid it might not work right now, or there could be an issue with my installation method. I tried using it to replace quickshell and install noctalia, but after replacement, noctalia can't run properly.

ninchan commented on 2026-02-21 06:20 (UTC)

Noctalia has released its own Folk repository based on QuickShell, and it's available on AUR. Could you add a dependency, noctalia-qs-git, as an alternative to QuickShell-git?

My computer can't handle compiling quickshell-git. It's a really massive project and I'm not sure if it's because of the compiler but it keeps failing due to resource limits. I really liked noctalia and don't want to switch over this, but it is barring me from being able to use the shell. EDIT: I don't know if there's a more sane way to do this, but this works: git clone --depth 1 'https://aur.archlinux.org/noctalia-shell.git' && cd noctalia-shell && sed -i 's/-git//g' PKGBUILD && makepkg -si
