  • Hyprland Crash Course
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Mar 2024
    My work on AGS, so far, has been mostly focused on adding support for additional features that weren't available before. I implemented the possibility to write your own PolKit agent in AGS and have just recently gotten secure session locking via the ext-session-lock-v1 Wayland protocol working. I still need to clean up the code and send PRs upstream, though.

    That said, my config is available on GitHub [0]. If you want to see much more complete setups, you should check out the configurations by Aylur (creator of AGS) [1], kotontrion [2], or end_4 [3]. I'm sure there are lots more that are notable, but these immediately came to mind.

    If you want to get a system running from scratch quickly, and avoid the 'two days of setup' problem, I strongly recommend hyprdots. A lot of the things you'd be forced to manually find and install come pre-installed and configured.

  • A problem with screen resolution and mouse cursor while running hyprland on a VMware
    1 project | /r/hyprland | 10 Dec 2023
    Hi, Linux Noob here. I installed hyprland on endeavourOS by using this script. System booted normally, I login in into my account and resolution changed from 1920x1080 to 800x600 and shows only 50% of screen, and theres invisible mouse cursor. I tried running kitty terminal to change resolution by using xrander but when I open kitty terminal nothing happens. I tried opening others terminals but just getting a frozen system, even VMware freezes.

  • Need some help setting up hyprland in a VM
    1 project | /r/hyprland | 4 Aug 2023
    I recently started exploring the world of Arch and i now want to set up hyprland in my VM (I'm quite new to all of this). I tried to install it using https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots/tree/main both in VirtualBox and VMware, but after the installation and logging in I can't really do anything since I can't see my cursor, the resolution seems to be a little messed up and the keybind seem to not work.
