Can you run Hyprland in the tty?

Also sddm did not display after boot?

[HilariousJon]

Dear @kRHYME7
oh yes, I can run Hyprland in tty, it makes things appear, but how to make it appear automatically, so I don't need tty? sddm runs well as I typed systemctl status display-manager it shows that it works well. And does it mean that my kde crash? How can I fix that?

[HilariousJon]

and I notice that I run code in terminal, things will crash, how to solve it?

[kRHYME7]

systemctl enable --now sddm

[HilariousJon]

@kRHYME7
systemctl enable --now sddm didn't work. and I am really curious about why vscode will crash in hyprland. the error message of that is:

Warning: 'ozone-platform-hint' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium

[kRHYME7]

does sddm show after boot?

As you can see in the video, it attains the asus logo appearing and stuck at that position. I am not sure if sddm shows.

---

Another update, if I directly type the password blindly under the asus logo, it will login. so it means that the login page is totally not shown.

[kRHYME7]

You got different issues but maybe can be streamlined that you're using an asus laptop.

problems:

1. sddm did not show up
2. electron apps like
   2.a vscode won't open
   2.b obisidian (according to the logs you got errors rendering them, I'm not sure but maybe something to do with gpu)

I guess you should follow this first, specially using an Asus laptop https://asus-linux.org/guides/arch-guide/

thankfully we got a script to do the things inside that tutorial, just run Hyde inject asus_patch

Take note that I don't know if this could fix your issue, but I'm pretty sure these fix/patch are prerequisites for your arch installation, so it should be good to have it.

Also, some apps eg vscode got flags to disable gpu rendering you can test it byr running --disable-gpu .

[HilariousJon]

@kRHYME7
Yes, I checked the crash list of the system, and it seems that electron directly crashed in my hyprland desktop env.

and actually I found

To ease the installation you can use other distro based on Arch, only Manjaro is highly not recommend (it is not really based on Arch and might not be compatible with points above and things might break with upgrades).

😂 seems not quite a problem caused by asus I guess? I am not using rog, other kind of asus computer. I found another issue in this repo, whose screenshots shows that it install hyprland on manjaro pretty well.

refer it here: #558

any other clues that may cause such problems?

---

--disable-gpu didn't help. I think it maybe relate to some global configuration problem. I also notice that the cutie pictures and text in the terminal doesn't show normally, I don't know whether it is you guys updates that make a difference than before. You can see it in the picture below.

[kRHYME7]

Looks normal to me and nothing is change here, just the pokemon-colorscripts command

I think it maybe relate to some global configuration problem

this repo generally sets the Sessions envs (because user logs in > hyprland opens with the env vars)

I guess you should try to fix your sddm errrors first, how about try to install/change a theme using Hyde sddm install

about other rendering stuff are you using nvidia? too ? You check out nvidia page of the hyprland wiki

[HilariousJon]

@kRHYME7
I tried, running Hyde sddm install, nothing change. Should have changed if it is caused by missing sddm theme.

I have a nvdia card, I ll go and check hyprland wiki.

---

about the pokemon script, I just don't know how to operate on it 😂 any wiki?

[thyeun]

@HilariousJon To open your code, go into your ~/.config/ and create a file code-flags.conf and paste in the code below.

--ozone-platform-hint=wayland
--use-gl=egl

[thyeun]

@HilariousJon To solve your sddm, re-install it with yay -S sddm-git (during install, it will ask you to remove sddm, due to conflict, you just Yes to remove).

[HilariousJon]

@thyeun
have tried reinstall sddm, not working. and the solution for code didn't work as well. The error message for code become:

❯ code
Warning: 'ozone-platform-hint' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.
Warning: 'use-gl' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.

and as a note, I guess all electron related stuff cannot load. I checked the list of Crashed Process Viewer and it shows that both code and electron will crash.

[thyeun]

@HilariousJon Your code is vs code or OSS-code?
