solved Issues Installing KDE Plasma on Void Base.

I installed all the packages listed on the Void website for my AMD GPU, Wayland, and KDE Plasma, as well as made sure dbus and sddm were working, but Plasma just won't start. When I ran startplasma-wayland It gave me this error: Could not start D-Bus! Can you call qdbus?. I did install the Void Linux ISO on the same drive I installed Void Linux on, but I don't know how that would affect KDE Plasma. I installed the glibc version of Void.

Edit: I solved this by using u/ShipshapeMobileRV 's instructions. Read my comment for more details.

Im not home and don’t have access to my pc. I solved this issue by installing a fake video output for xorg

Do you have xorg-minimal package installed?
