Reached graphical target,cant reach sddm

Hi everyone I have been having this issue for 2 weeks or something but didnt bother to solve it cause Im a newbie linux user as a whole and didnt want to break it more while trying to fix lol.So Im using hyprland wayland and able to access desktop by using Hyprland command on tty.It was working at first but either I broke it trying to configure my 2 monitors or it was due to updates Im not sure.Using 3080TI nvidia and updated system today so drivers should be up to date.

here some logs but dont know if these are related to my issue


these are my nvidia drivers

and this is sddm log.Dont know what else needed.Appreciate it if anybody helps,tried lots of things I found from other forums but couldnt solve it yet

Hi @Salarak,
There were problems with SDDM for non wayland users as well. Consider replacing provisionally with ly.

yay -S ly
systemctl disable sddm 
systemctl enable ly

It is a puritan login-manager and it has less dependencies.
But first check what does it show
hyprctl monitors all | grep Monitor

Monitor eDP-1 (ID 0):
Monitor HDMI-A-1 (ID 1)

with me
and edit your
~/.config/hypr/conf/monitor.conf
accordingly.

# Monitor Definitions
monitor = eDP-1,1920x1080@60.000,1600x0,1
monitor = HDMI-A-1,1600x900@50.000,0x0,1

In this case the second HDMI monitor is on the left side of my primary eDP-1 one.
Not a long story
(As for SDDM I uninstalled:
yay -R simplicity-sddm-theme-git sddm-conf-git sddm
but at the end there is an info pop-up that $XDG_CURRENT_DESTOP is managed externally)

Thanks for helping I will try ly

as for monitors

these are my monitors setup

Looks good.

okay so putting [Autologin]
Session=hyprland.desktop into sddm.conf solved my issue.maybe helps others
