Vicinae docs mention the following: https://docs.vicinae.com/browser-extension

If you installed vicinae from the AUR, using the script (as root) or from source, the prerequisites below should automatically be handled for you. When possible, these installation mediums automatically generate and install the required native host manifests on your system.

But I don't see the browser extension at the specified path /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.vicinae.vicinae.json. Is this because it's a binary package?

Oops, forgot to update vicinae.hook shasums and skipped tests before pushing. That one's on me. Fixing it right away @Hespro @cypress-exe @marul.

Same issue for me on CachyOS:

I am experiencing the same issue on EndeavourOS (Running KDE Plasma Wayland).

The build fails because vicinae.hook does not pass the SHA256 checksum:

@imrehg Thanks for the update. It seems your one works better.

@cilgin I have the same issue as @icke

Those env vars are available in the window manager (I have XFCE), I think the hook's 'sudo' -> 'runuser' layers where the env vars are not being loaded. You say it's misconfigured, so far I couldn't find any good way to configure it, do you have any hunches what might be something you set up to work?

However there's a different way to form the hook, suggesgted by the error message, that would likely work better anyways: setting the --machine flag for the user, instead of using `--runuser

I've tried the above, and it works, and seem to do what the original hook intended as well, just more explicitly?

@icke Something seems misconfigured in your environment. Your window manager or session manager (probably uswm) likely isn't setting up the D-Bus session bus correctly, which is preventing the service from restarting automatically.

I'm getting this error message when updating: Restarting vicinae.service as a user unit if enabled/active... Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)

no big deal, just have to remember to run systemctl --use restart viciniae.service manually
