Issue with Hyprland

Desktop Environments All WMs
1

I recently installed Hyprland but it doesn’t show up when I try to login. (You know, the place that says Plasma (Wayland) or something.)

Prove it.

pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(hypr|wayland)"

and

pacman -Qi hyprland

Next time, copy the text from your terminal, and paste it here, like this:

pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(hypr|wayland)"

Now, the reason you don’t see Hyprland in the menu is because you didn’t install like you thought you did.

You can do it like this:

sudo pacman -S hyprland

I have a hypr config folder though.

That doesn’t matter if you don’t have the “hyprland” package installed or at least one of its AUR variants.

Notice that my pacman Qi hyprland shows a full output because I have it installed, and it shows up in my display manager (login menu). :wink:

Also I used an install script (:flushed:)

Cool cool cool.

Start with that next time, please.

Don’t run scripts you don’t understand.

Which script did you run? Meaning from which website. Please don’t show me a screenshot with a downloaded file again. :sweat_smile:

Also, I feel like discriminating against you for using Google Chrome. But I won’t. :upside_down_face:
Here’s a recent comparison video, though it misses the mark on Brave: https://youtu.be/JaTRtAwL5e8
