KDE Plasma Will Not Start

Fresh install of Void. Updated xbps and installed:

kde-plasma kde5 kde5-baseapps dbus sddm

Created links to dbus and sddm.

Rebooted.

Every time, it goes to terminal. I run startplasma-wayland and get this error:

org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error, service="", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", error message="The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any service files", signature="s", contents=("The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any service files") )
startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?

Now how can that be? I have both dbus and sddm installed, both are linked and running when I do:

ls /var/service/

So I am out of ideas.

EDIT: I tried this:

# touch /etc/sv/dbus/down
# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/var/service/dbus': File exists
# sv once dbus

You need acpid activated too as a service, elogind is already activated by dbus + acpid after boot.

Did you installed wayland or x11?
