Package request: kunkun

[rudra-code-creator]

Describe the package

kunkun (https://github.com/kunkunsh/kunkun) Is basically a cross platform alternative to raycast with almost full feature parity with raycast. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux making it the (to my knowledge) ONLY alternative to Raycast that is available everywhere. Just like raycast it is extensible with extensions and has a strong community backing with over 20 extensions available in its store. It also has an inbuilt file transfer extension allowing you to transfer files to other computers with kunkun installed on your local network.

I'd also like to see this packaged.

I had to set services.gnome.gnome-keyring.enable = true; to get the following to launch, but it is still not functional.

{ appimageTools, fetchurl }:
let
  pname = "kunkun";
  version = "0.1.27";

  src = fetchurl {
    url = "https://github.com/kunkunsh/kunkun/releases/download/Kunkun-v${version}/kunkun_${version}_amd64.AppImage";
    hash = "sha256-7riJ/Y9/zMPW7pKm1RvPCLIqJPWiu8QuBqxs91z+f+U=";
  };

  appimageContents = appimageTools.extract {
    inherit pname version src;
  };
in
appimageTools.wrapType2 {
  inherit pname version src;

  extraPkgs =
    pkgs: with pkgs; [
      at-spi2-core
    ];

  extraInstallCommands = ''
    install -Dm444 ${appimageContents}/kunkun.desktop -t $out/share/applications/kunkun.desktop
    install -Dm444 ${appimageContents}/kunkun.png -t $out/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/kunkun.png

    # Just for easy reference
    mkdir -p $out/${pname}
    cp -r ${appimageContents}/* $out/${pname}
  '';

  # meta = {
  # };
}

This builds. Running it, two empty white windows open, and the tray icon populates the tray and appears functional.

It has the error:

Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Aborting...

Adding below, same behavior:

  extraPkgs =
    pkgs: with pkgs; [
      at-spi2-core
      libGL
      libgbm
      mesa
      mesa.drivers
      xorg.libXcomposite
      xorg.libXrandr
      xorg.libxcb
      xorg.libXext
      xorg.libXdamage
      xorg.libXfixes
      xorg.libX11
      xorg.libxshmfence
      libdrm
      wayland
      egl-wayland
    ];

nix run --impure github:nix-community/nixGL -- ./result/bin/kunkun

has same behavior, but with different message:

MESA-LOADER: failed to open dri: /nix/store/dax001xkrfy0s09v98ha0rsz4i9cdz8z-mesa-24.3.4-drivers/lib/libgallium-24.3.4.so: undefined symbol: amdgpu_va_get_start_addr (search paths /run/opengl-driver/lib/gbm, suffix _gbm)

I looked at that yesterday but was not able to get that fork to build.

I also tried building from source instead of from the appimage, which is basically just what nix-init generated, but it did not build.

This issue seems related to the EGL problem: kunkunsh/kunkun#107

This too is relevant: kunkunsh/kunkun#120 (comment)
