Aloha! I used to run krunner inside a hyprland session by invoking krunner via hotkeys or console.
Yesterday I removed plasma-desktop as hyprland does all I need except krunner. I kept the krunner package, but the executable “krunner” is no longer found. Anything I can do except installing the whole plasma-desktop again?
the
/usr/bin/krunner
executable is owned by theplasma-workspace
package. It has a lot of dependencies. So yeah, you basically need a huge chunk of kde/plasma to run it.A pretty similar Qt-based launcher utility (not quite so good in some areas, possibly better in some) is called albert, if you don’t want to use plasma anymore.
I dont’t see
plasma-workspace
as a dependecy. Output from paru:This is still alot for one tool, but as far as I can see it will not install the whole plasma desktop again. I am running GNOME, so not sure if GNOME already brings some dependencies not mentioned in my output.
I have the krunner package installed, though I cannot run it in a console anymore as in- “$ krunner” command not found
Ah I see, ragica is right. krunner bin is part of plasma-workspace, kinda misleading that there’s an own package.
Thanks, I ll take albert into consideration
Tried Albert, seems very capable, alas it is considered to be a regular window in hyprland. I tried catapult from the aur. Blazing fast and does math, I found my new launcher. Thanks everyone 🙏
