Hey i'm trying to replicate your config on openSUSE Tumbleweeed can you make a video of configuring everything from start not using any scripts. If there is any old video on this channel link it please i tired but didn't find any video which doesn't uses scripts
I did this EXACT process last night on my machine and installed your dotfiles as a base config, it's looking gorgeous and working flawlessly! Thank you for all the support and videos on this topic 👍
Just getting into Arch after using other distros for a long time, and came across your videos. I love how clearly you present all the different concepts. I just installed the latest version of your dotfiles (so one unified install script instead of the separate ones in this video) on my Thinkpad that I purposely bought as a Linux machine, and it's working beautifully.
!EDIT! Works under BIOS if you remember to move your optical drive up in the boot options menu before beginning install. UEFI still breaks everything. All following this guide just omit the part about switching to UEFI, and go with GRUB instead of systemd-boot all is good. Does not work as of 01/05/2024 02:19am Eastern time US. Breaks right at load up with UEFI selected. Running under BIOS will allow you to run the installer, but it fails. Currently Hyprland does not work under other VMs without a lot of user intervention due to hotkey bindings withing the VM managers themselves.
another great video, thank you for the walkthrough with the new archinstaller. good to see the new packages in the installer, i am currently working on a script that i run just before your dotfiles to install the latest nvidia-dkms and make the appropriate alterations to the grub/mkinitcpio and then adding the nvidia variables into the system and the hyprland.conf file i have also tweaked your original rounded waybar to be more square with additional functionality added to your default waybar modules config well done and keep up the amazing work you are doing, i had become uninspired with Linux in the last few years Gnome going off on a strange tangent, KDE/XFCE are pretty stagnant in their DE's but you have started a fire in me and using i am using it full time with hyprland as my default desktop
@mylinuxforwork I did. About six months ago, I manually installed Arch. That process is really involved in customization and doing it yourself. Once I get passthrough graphics working, I would save my machine backup via Rescuezilla. Then I will try to reinstall the same config with a hardened kernel. I intend to remote into it from work and begin working on my web server.
@@mylinuxforwork Finally got some time for this and yes wallpaper issue has been fixed even tho I didn't completely follow your tutorial, but I am glad it worked
Thank you again. I have it working on an older laptop and now with Proxmox. It works pretty well in proxmox better than I expected using VIRT-GL and SPICE. I didn't think aliasing "w" was a good idea as that's a common shell command but easy to fix. haha I look forward to more videos Take care

Thanks for this video! I installed for the first time Arch and followed your steps, after restart i got just wallpaper, no top bar, no keybindings, just a wallpaper :) what did i do wrong?!
Difficult to find out without getting more details. It seams that the dotfiles are not installed correctly. Have you restarted your system? Do you get ly as display manager and Hyprland is selected? And can you chevk that the symbolic links are set correctly in your .config folder?
Hey, I hope you are doing well. I loved everything about the video and it all went well until I fucked with a setting, something about resolution config, I switched it from default to some super low res. Now hyprland just doesn’t work, its just a black screen, any ideas what I can do? (Sorry for the vague info, I’m relatively new to linux)
Oüen the file .config/hypr/conf/monitor.conf and set it back to the default variation. The file should look like this github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/blob/main/share/dotfiles/.config/hypr/conf/monitor.conf Then try again.
Thanks for the work. The desk is awesome now I had little trouble with the latest git clone. Don't know if it is only for me or I have messed up the installation 🙂 1. The script didn't allow to clone on the $HOME folder. When I cloned it to Downloads and started install.sh, it installed normally but the config files were symlinked to $HOME/dotfiles folder which was empty. I copied the contents from Downloads/dotfiles to $HOME/dotfiles then it worked normally 2. There was an error regarding color in conf. Sorry forgot the file. The config was for active title bar color. Would you mind answering few questions? 1. I have an NVIDIA GPU, and had chosen NVDIA prorprietary drivers during archinstall. Would it be an issue ? 2. Is there an alt + tab alternative to switch applications?
Can you install rsync manually with sudo pacman -S rsync and try again? Then the dotfiles folder should be filled with the config files. Can you give me a feedback again if it’s working again?

I was trying to automate hyprland instalation for nvidia and found that you can execute any command on vim startup. With this It is possible to easily guide the user by telling them which file is going to be opened (/etc/default/grub in my case) and then ask them if they want the instruction to be copied to vim's main register like, for example: vim -c "let @\"='GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=nvidia_drm.modeset=1'" /etc/default/grub It is also possible to automate this with regex and all that but i it would be much more cumbersome to implement.
I have installed in the same way as in vide. But dolphin theme is not dark and there is split_search/menu button on right. And, when I try to mount to other drives, it says Cannot request authentication. PolicyKit authentication system alpears to not available.
@mylinuxforwork i installed polkit-dumb-agent and it worked. But the theme is still not working. I opened dolphin with environment set but it was still light theme
Everything working and works very smoothly but the apps button which at the top left of the screen and power button which at the top right of the screen not works for me :(
@@mylinuxforwork also: cause of being new to the linux world, I think I might have missed something, I did a nice setup using the video where you install hyprland on endeavour os, it works.
Have you 3D acceleration enabled? Never tested with hyper-v but with qemu, kvm under linux everything should work. I have also tested under Virtualbox but also here 3D acceleration is required.
Tried to install on VMWare, I log in to Hyprland, and Kitty doesn't open. I can quit and open up WOFI, so inputs work. Tried to run kitty through WOFI, but the VM will freeze. I have 3D acceleration on. Any idea on what went wrong?
Works perfectly! 👍 One question. How do I get the multi-media keys via FN and F10 (mute), F11 (quieter) and F12 (louder) into hyprland? Also via the hyprland.conf? Pipewire is installed. With KDE or e.g. Gnome, this works after the basic installation.
Thanks for your hard and beautiful work, i did install your dotfile, but waybar disapear or hyprland frozen , what i have is wallpaper screen with time and date on center, could you help
Hey, great configs. Can you also add controls for volume and brightness keys? Didn't work for me(volume keys). Brightness worked after installing brightnessctl but the thing is, it only goes to 70% and 100%, can you please add a progressive increment/decrement for both volume and brightness keys? These are the only things that your configs are missing, otherwise, it's really really top notch. Thanks for this!
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. The upcoming version 2.5 will include better brightness controls. Release is planned for next week. But you can already access the dev branch. Volume controls will come later.
I think there is a script in /home/user/dotfiles/scripts/ path that doesnt let you have a static Wallpaper. Everything I do restart it switch the wallpaper :( . I have been looking around for 3 days now
Hi. Thanks for using the dotfiles. GTK theme is always tricky. In the next version I will provide a more stable and streamlined setup for the GTK theme. Mid of the week, you can get a preview on my dev branch.
After booting up hyprland,the Ethernet didn't work. Like, even though I'm connected to an Ethernet, I can't install any packages. Did I missed anything?
Hi thank you for the tutorial , it works awesome . I will share it on FB pages. I just have one more question about it. How you can make the wallpaper static or set a wallpaper? I have been looking around and not finding something related to it. I did accomplish make the IP Static but not the wallpaper. If you have any Idea please let me know. :)
Thank you. For wallpapers please check hyprpaper. I have it on my Hyprland starter: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter/-/tree/main/hypr?ref_type=heads
Thanks for detailed installation guide. I've installed Arch on VM with installation script like in your video. But when I shutdown VM and set settings for 3D acceleration and OpenGL it doesn't pass login screen. When trying login as created user it flashes to screen where it prints "Could not connect to socket /run/seatd.sock" and "failed to open seat" and returns to login screen. Even though I selected polkit during installation. I've read that it might be related to hyprland and 3D acceleration settings with spice. I have two GPU's in host, both are from Nvidia. Quadro 600 for host and GTX 1050Ti for passthrough for VM's. When I use Virt manager to enable 3D acceleration and OpenGL with same exact settings from your video it loads with black screen but it's accessible via ssh. I've tried to start VM with QEMU commands via console with SDL graphics mode with --display sdl,gl=on option and it runs but gives that login error. I tried to use seatd and it is simmilar thing. Also what's interesting is that when running commands such as glxgears on a regular VM with same GPU it runs smoothly or glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" outputs "yes" Maybe there is some trick to make it work on a VM with Nvidia? Thanks in advance
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. But in that case it's difficult for me to help because I cannot reproduce your setup on my computer because I'm using an AMD GPU. Are any other OS running with 3D acceleration in your Qemu setup?
I've specified one VM to use 1050Ti as a passthrough gpu, tried combinations of drivers for host and guest, proprietary and open source and it runs guest with black screen. Also all virtualization settings are enabled in bios. There are talks about nvidia cards for passthrough and 3D acceleration and seems that amd cards work better for that. Maybe it will work if arch is installed bare metal. Maybe it is a nice idea to dual boot arch on windows machine and try it with nvidia card. Anyway thank you for you feedback :) @@mylinuxforwork
super big linux noob here so i could just be being dumb but i cant open kitty and when i exit it hangs on the terminal screen that it uses for startup (if that makes any sense) meaining i cant get into the tty either.
thinking it might be that i use a nvidia card bc those are not very compatable with hyprland (or so im told) but i dont have any way of checking bc i cant get to the logs.
When I restart my computer, the Ly login manager initially appears in the upper left corner of the screen and then centers itself after a few seconds. How can I adjust it to appear directly in the center of the console right from the start?
seems to be an issue with Graphics driver. When I installed arch with Nvidia (proprietary) driver I had the issue as you mentioned. When I tried arch installation with Open source driver, the login screen is centered.
Hey man please respond, i did the steps but when i got into the hyprland i instead got a black flashing text saying same as yours, and the resolution on my cursor was also low, and i could only open kitty but it was flashing too.
archinstall hangs on time sync for me Waitin n for time sync (timedatectl show) to complete Time syncronization not completing, while you wait - check the docs for workarounds… Anyone knows what’s up with that?
I found out I could skip that part but now I have an issue with keyrings. Something about the iso being an old one. I tried to update them with pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring but nothing. This archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync just won’t start
I tried this on latest arch version and I just get blank screen after I log in, any tips how to get to kitty or to fix it. Would love if you would have this as iso so we could just install it
Please make sure that all packages are up to date. And please try it again a second time to login. Or switch to tty and start Hyprland with command Hyprland. Have noticed several issues with starting Hyprland with display managers. And I will think about an ISO.... I received this wish already several times.
Did something changed? Tody (Oct 10) I installed Hyprland for my family on their laptop and it come up with a blank screen. Everything else worked well but the waybar remain invisible. Using "ps aux | grep waybar" showed that it was running. Any idea?
Hi. I can confirm that something is going wrong in new installations. I only get a grey screen after login without waybar or wallpaper. It seams that some of the main packages have been updated and have a conflict with any of the configuration files. Have you found the issue on your fresh installation?
@@mylinuxforwork Oh ya, I did restart a couple of times. I also killed waybar and launched it again but to no result. Then I installed it on my qemu/vm using the new archinstall (hyprland, ly) and got the same result: a running waybar without a visible bar.
Hello iHave been using windows all my life. This keybindings like super comand . What are those. I can guess super is the windows key. What about the cmd . What is it

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Arch Linux distribution requires the usage of the terminal which can be complicated. But there ate other distributions like EndeavourOS and Manjaro with graphical installers.
I would say, it depends on the quality of a script. And the archinstall is getting better and better and a great option to setup an Arch system fast and easy to use for Arch beginners. Please also check my Arch Install scripts: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/archinstall 😀
Well if the script made by our RUclipsr is well done and he spent hours and hours to tweak and test,why not using it and save time and enjoy it? People are busy in rl and not everybody is a nerd with tons of free time. I'm an arch user since it came out and capable to do it by myself (like most user here),but why bother?

It is also possible to automate this with regex and all that but i it would be much more cumbersome to implement.
This is interesting. Will test it. Thank you!!!
I have installed in the same way as in vide. But dolphin theme is not dark and there is split_search/menu button on right.
And, when I try to mount to other drives, it says Cannot request authentication. PolicyKit authentication system alpears to not available.
Thanks for your feedback. Will add kde polkit n the future.
@mylinuxforwork i installed polkit-dumb-agent and it worked. But the theme is still not working. I opened dolphin with environment set but it was still light theme
Everything working and works very smoothly but the apps button which at the top left of the screen and power button which at the top right of the screen not works for me :(
Do you have a Nvidia card? Can you restart your system and try again?
@@mylinuxforwork i have an amd card, restart couldnt fix the issue but thanks...
@@mylinuxforwork also: cause of being new to the linux world, I think I might have missed something, I did a nice setup using the video where you install hyprland on endeavour os, it works.
not working for me. I followed the base installation each on qemu and hyper-v and I always end up being stuck in login screen
Have you 3D acceleration enabled? Never tested with hyper-v but with qemu, kvm under linux everything should work. I have also tested under Virtualbox but also here 3D acceleration is required.
@@mylinuxforwork i honestly don't know how to accelerate with hyper-v I'm booting up a virtual box now and try it there
I have the same problem but im not using a virtual box im installing it as a system@@mylinuxforwork

Thank you.
Tried to install on VMWare, I log in to Hyprland, and Kitty doesn't open. I can quit and open up WOFI, so inputs work. Tried to run kitty through WOFI, but the VM will freeze. I have 3D acceleration on. Any idea on what went wrong?
This is crazy. Have you installed alacritty as well? Then please try to open it and enter kitty. Maybe there are error messages that could help?
whats the super key? (if its windows key it doesnt work already tried that)
Super key is the windows key. Correct.
@@mylinuxforwork but it doesnt work tho
Works perfectly! 👍
One question. How do I get the multi-media keys via FN and F10 (mute), F11 (quieter) and F12 (louder) into hyprland? Also via the hyprland.conf? Pipewire is installed. With KDE or e.g. Gnome, this works after the basic installation.
Cooll. Thanks for your feedback. Additional key binds will be added in the next version. And will be covered in one of the next videos.
@@mylinuxforwork Nice! btw the lockscreen is crazy! 👏
@@rendart18 thanks
Thanks for your hard and beautiful work, i did install your dotfile, but waybar disapear or hyprland frozen , what i have is wallpaper screen with time and date on center, could you help
Have you run all installation scripts? What happens if you start waybar/launch.sh?

I see a lot of rices using mako or swaync over dunst. Just personal preference?
Not yet but I will look into it. Can you share a link to one of your preferred rices?
Hey, great configs. Can you also add controls for volume and brightness keys? Didn't work for me(volume keys). Brightness worked after installing brightnessctl but the thing is, it only goes to 70% and 100%, can you please add a progressive increment/decrement for both volume and brightness keys? These are the only things that your configs are missing, otherwise, it's really really top notch. Thanks for this!
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. The upcoming version 2.5 will include better brightness controls. Release is planned for next week. But you can already access the dev branch. Volume controls will come later.
Where I can change the order of the monitors ? Thank you , Great video
It’s described here: wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Monitors/
I think there is a script in /home/user/dotfiles/scripts/ path that doesnt let you have a static Wallpaper. Everything I do restart it switch the wallpaper :( . I have been looking around for 3 days now
Yes that’s right…. But the static wallpaper will come with dotfiles 2.5. Launch is planned for next week.
I installed Hyprland and dotfiles but gtk themes are not working.
Hi. Thanks for using the dotfiles. GTK theme is always tricky. In the next version I will provide a more stable and streamlined setup for the GTK theme. Mid of the week, you can get a preview on my dev branch.
After booting up hyprland,the Ethernet didn't work. Like, even though I'm connected to an Ethernet, I can't install any packages. Did I missed anything?
The network settings are independent from the dotfiles. Can you enter nmtui in your terminal and check your network?
Hi thank you for the tutorial , it works awesome . I will share it on FB pages. I just have one more question about it. How you can make the wallpaper static or set a wallpaper? I have been looking around and not finding something related to it. I did accomplish make the IP Static but not the wallpaper. If you have any Idea please let me know. :)
Thank you. For wallpapers please check hyprpaper. I have it on my Hyprland starter: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter/-/tree/main/hypr?ref_type=heads
Thanks for detailed installation guide. I've installed Arch on VM with installation script like in your video. But when I shutdown VM and set settings for 3D acceleration and OpenGL it doesn't pass login screen. When trying login as created user it flashes to screen where it prints "Could not connect to socket /run/seatd.sock" and "failed to open seat" and returns to login screen. Even though I selected polkit during installation. I've read that it might be related to hyprland and 3D acceleration settings with spice.
I have two GPU's in host, both are from Nvidia. Quadro 600 for host and GTX 1050Ti for passthrough for VM's. When I use Virt manager to enable 3D acceleration and OpenGL with same exact settings from your video it loads with black screen but it's accessible via ssh.
I've tried to start VM with QEMU commands via console with SDL graphics mode with --display sdl,gl=on option and it runs but gives that login error. I tried to use seatd and it is simmilar thing. Also what's interesting is that when running commands such as glxgears on a regular VM with same GPU it runs smoothly or glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" outputs "yes"
Maybe there is some trick to make it work on a VM with Nvidia? Thanks in advance
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. But in that case it's difficult for me to help because I cannot reproduce your setup on my computer because I'm using an AMD GPU. Are any other OS running with 3D acceleration in your Qemu setup?
I've specified one VM to use 1050Ti as a passthrough gpu, tried combinations of drivers for host and guest, proprietary and open source and it runs guest with black screen. Also all virtualization settings are enabled in bios. There are talks about nvidia cards for passthrough and 3D acceleration and seems that amd cards work better for that. Maybe it will work if arch is installed bare metal. Maybe it is a nice idea to dual boot arch on windows machine and try it with nvidia card. Anyway thank you for you feedback :) @@mylinuxforwork
I had a similar issue running on hyper-v vm and i solved it by adding export WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE=1 to bashrc
@@Luis-tm2gp Thanks for sharing this learning.
super big linux noob here so i could just be being dumb but i cant open kitty and when i exit it hangs on the terminal screen that it uses for startup (if that makes any sense) meaining i cant get into the tty either.
thinking it might be that i use a nvidia card bc those are not very compatable with hyprland (or so im told) but i dont have any way of checking bc i cant get to the logs.
NVIDIA is difficult to test for me. But I will look into at in the upcoming weeks.
When I restart my computer, the Ly login manager initially appears in the upper left corner of the screen and then centers itself after a few seconds. How can I adjust it to appear directly in the center of the console right from the start?
Can you send me a screenshot or photo via email?
seems to be an issue with Graphics driver. When I installed arch with Nvidia (proprietary) driver I had the issue as you mentioned. When I tried arch installation with Open source driver, the login screen is centered.
@@samsylvestertty thanks for the feedback.
I can't open kitty, for some reason it does not detect the super key. Any idea what to do?
$mainMod = SUPER should be defined and $mainMod is then used in keybindings. Do you have a special keyboard layour enabled?
@@mylinuxforwork Same for me SUPER+M works to exit Hyprland SUPER+Q doesnt open kitty.
@@queensiez In the dotfiles, alacrity is the default terminal and starts with SUPER+RETURN
Hey man please respond, i did the steps but when i got into the hyprland i instead got a black flashing text saying same as yours, and the resolution on my cursor was also low, and i could only open kitty but it was flashing too.
Do you have an NVIDIA GPU?
archinstall hangs on time sync for me
Waitin n for time sync (timedatectl show) to complete
Time syncronization not completing, while you wait - check the docs for workarounds…
Anyone knows what’s up with that?
I found out I could skip that part but now I have an issue with keyrings. Something about the iso being an old one. I tried to update them with pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring but nothing. This archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync just won’t start
Have you used the latest available ISO?
No 🙁 that’s probably why all this is happening.
I tried this on latest arch version and I just get blank screen after I log in, any tips how to get to kitty or to fix it.
Would love if you would have this as iso so we could just install it
Please make sure that all packages are up to date. And please try it again a second time to login. Or switch to tty and start Hyprland with command Hyprland. Have noticed several issues with starting Hyprland with display managers.
And I will think about an ISO.... I received this wish already several times.
Did something changed? Tody (Oct 10) I installed Hyprland for my family on their laptop and it come up with a blank screen. Everything else worked well but the waybar remain invisible. Using "ps aux | grep waybar" showed that it was running. Any idea?
No. Nothing changed. Can you restart Hyprland again. Sometimes it comes on some laptops to an issue in the starting procedure.
Hi. I can confirm that something is going wrong in new installations. I only get a grey screen after login without waybar or wallpaper. It seams that some of the main packages have been updated and have a conflict with any of the configuration files. Have you found the issue on your fresh installation?
Hi. I think I found the solution. Make sure that you use monitor=,1920x1080,auto,1 without @120 in case you have uncomment this line in hyprland.conf
@@mylinuxforwork Oh ya, I did restart a couple of times. I also killed waybar and launched it again but to no result. Then I installed it on my qemu/vm using the new archinstall (hyprland, ly) and got the same result: a running waybar without a visible bar.
On the monitor I used it without @120. I noticed however a lot of (qemu and other) updates recently. Maybe that caused it. @@mylinuxforwork
Wayland already work with Microsoft teams? Last time I tried to use Wayland and trams i couldn't screen cast

I tried looking on bing gpt4 and it told me to add to the hyperland.conf file in the general section but I’m assuming that’s how it would be without the symbolically linked configs because I didn’t see any general section.

REAL ARCH USER WILL NEVER EVER USE SCRIPT. STICK TO WINDOWS KIDS.
I would say, it depends on the quality of a script. And the archinstall is getting better and better and a great option to setup an Arch system fast and easy to use for Arch beginners. Please also check my Arch Install scripts: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/archinstall 😀
Well if the script made by our RUclipsr is well done and he spent hours and hours to tweak and test,why not using it and save time and enjoy it? People are busy in rl and not everybody is a nerd with tons of free time. I'm an arch user since it came out and capable to do it by myself (like most user here),but why bother?
Funny, Everyone that watch these video probably capable of doing all of these ourself but busy with work and stuff. Go home and cry to ur momma
