🎉 Thank you, you previous arch-hyprland video help my solve my dual boot partitioning problems as well as introduce me to the best tiling window manager ive seen yet.
@@SolDoesTech Thank you! Your script is a great way to try it out. One day I will try to make my own haha. Good luck and thank you for your efforts to create these great tools and good video explanation!
Hey Sol! Amazing script, I have to tell you. I started using from v2 and this version is amazing. Just a quick recommendation. Instead of selecting the device for the language change, we can toggle from the kb_layout using the kb_options part. I used this to change keyboard layout in the hyprland.conf: input{ kb_layout = us, latam ... kb_options=grp:lctrl_lwin_toggle ... } To check what are the options for toggle in the system, we can use grep 'grp:.*toggle' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst Again, thanks again for the script!
Fantastic work! I have been trying for hours to get arch to work with hyprland on my RTX 4060 and I tried a lot of things that are on the wiki. Eventually none of them worked and I did a complete wipe and followed your tutorial completely and now it works beautifully. It looks amazing and I'm really hyped for getting to use it :)
I am new (2 months) to Linux. Tried the "beginner" distros and honestly they just made me go back to Windows so many times. I didn't want something LIKE windows. I wanted something different, something new and I know Arch, especially doing all of this, is "not beginner friendly". I did install vanilla arch and arch based distros multiple times (mainly KDE /Gnome based) and learned enough of the basics to understand what you are talking about. You made it simple to follow along and it's working flawlessly with my 3090 and dual 1440p monitors. I'm legit excited to see what else I can learn and do with this haha. All in all, thanks for the amazing work!
Hello and thank you for this commentI I am very glad to hear this script has you up and running and I am very excited for you to start tinkering and modifying the config to make it your own.Thank you for watching and enjoy :)
Thank you so much! Just installed via your script and it worked flawless! I absolutely love that you can change to different versions now. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for the awesome script!
Loved your scripts! I know how to install arch and setup everything, but your install script makes everything so good and everything works out of the box... It is truly amazing! Thank you for your work
Oh my god this is AWESOME, My old pc can't run Windows anymore and was trying hyprland on Arch yesterday but the black screen kept popping up, thank you so much!
Very cool additions once again! I've been using my own personal spin on your V2 as a daily driver and I'm quite happy with it :) I'll most likely be adding the idle controler soon enough ;)
Quick question, maybe it's just the way I set up everything but it seems like my computer is never going to sleep, is that normal? That means that the idle button in the bar is pretty useless (I noticed that before adding the button)
I'm absolutely loving it. I spun this up yesterday and can't get enough. I used to use i3 a few years ago and then moved to Manjaro with Material Shell. Material Shell has broken since gnome update though so I had to look for something else. This has absolutely blown me away! What would be nice (something we had in Material Shell) is a button on the bottom or top bar that can toggle the tiling mode. We used to have [split, float, maximize, grid] and a few more. I've setup key bindings for maximize and swap windows which is decent enough but the ability to toggle the tiling mode would be amazing.
I am glad for videos like this. I realise that this looks great and that this is way way beyond my skill set and way past the amount of time I am willing to devote to this.
Thanks for creating this install script for Hyprland. A couple of comments. Some of the key bindings are a little odd compared to other tiling window managers like xmonad, qtile, bspwm, sway..... but these are easy enough to adjust. It would be nice if you included the swayidle package as part of the installation, and added an idle timeout feature in the config like: exec-once = swayidle -w timeout 300 'swaylock -f' timeout 600 'hyprctl dispatch dpms off' resume 'hyprctl dispatch dpms on' before-sleep 'swaylock -f'
Bro, you need to know ure best. Thank you and your deserving time to make this awesome theme available for us. I was struggling with I3 on X11 for a couple of years and you save me from hell.
That's absolutely amazing. I didn't manage to install it on my own because of Nvidia drivers, but this script helped a lot. And the rice is good as well. Keep it up 👍
Just wanted to let you know that keyboard override in the HyprV config may not work on some machines? I had to manually change the waybar config in one install, you may want to look into what could cause that? Anyways aside from that great work, its working perfectly
I believe after the hyprland-nvidia 0.28.0-1 update, the decoration blur in the config needs to be set with different formatting, otherwise an error appears.
Thank You Very Much! Sir❤❤, This script works fine for me. Everything goes smooth for me. Thanks For the update and also thanks for your quick response in last comment
Hello and thank you for the feedback. Indeed great idea although my script does install one package at a time so I will have to update the verify loop. I will look into getting that in for the next version :)
Great Work Sol specially the Automation Script. I have some thins I want ask about if i may: 1) how to setup a user image in sddm (tried with no success) 2) are u willing to improve more and more ? 3) how to do the function of switching betwween windows like in xfce using ALT+TAB and only Focusing on one window with a fullscreen like in xfce and gnome. 4) can u also hide all windows using Super+D like the other DE ? and thank you so much for your work
Hey Sol, you have done a fantastic job! Very simple and straight forward installation! I love you scripts! It would be very nice if you reduce to displayed name of the current keyboard layout to the first 3 characters. Some layouts like for example "English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)" have very long names and consume a huge space on the bar.
Wow, this is great, thanks for all the work you put into this script, and providing it for free. Is there anyway customize the login screen? i cant seem to find the config file for it. Thanks!
Awesome! I have fixed all my issues from V3 and detailed them in a comment on the V3 video. V4 is running smoothly so far!! I would just like to know how to add flatpak to the update script? Thanks!
Hey sir, first of all: thank you, that looks so beautiful and easy to setup with your help. I am a noob coming from windows (been 4 months now). Two problems I had: I did not have those numbers to switch from environments on the upper left corner when I finished the setup. Nothing critical, I had a lot of fun trying this today (maybe there is a keyboard shortcut to open another?). Another thing: somehow the keyboard layout does not change for me. Kind of annoying this one, because I had to guess the us layout for some basic commands. I even followed your example to the letter (adding pl and ru etc) and nothing happened. I could not identify the right keyboard, because the pl+ru change never applied anywhere. It could be that I did some noobish mistake but I followed the view exactly as you did, so I find it very strange. everything seems to be set to br (what I need) but still, only us on the button on the upper right corner. Detail: I have a fresh arch install with kde on it too. On KDE, the keyboard is ok. Anyway, if you or anyone else could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it! Having a lot of fun and learning anyway! Thank you again, THIS is much more beautiful than windows, much nicer to use!
It's not working. V3 was working great but when I updated to V4 I can't even log in, SDDM just brings me back, I can't log in to the system. Any thoughts?
I have 1 question: What is the login manger/display manager you used? I can't figure out how to configure it. I want to change it so that when you enter your password, it doesn't display the last keypress. But I really like the config otherwise. Really nice hyprland setup! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hey, thanks for all the work you do. Thought you should know that nwg-look-bin is causing a failure during install, at least on mine and a few other systems.
cool stuff, you spelled configuring yay wrong at 2:33 - sorry to be that guy. i discovered how to turn off power management for my wifi from this, and more, thank you
Hi Sol, thanks for the commendable work 🎉. I have a slight problem though, the audio volume both from the speakers and headphones is very low even at max volume of 153. Sound is okay if I live boot different distros. Is this problem unique to me and what could be the issue? Hey, your influence is far reaching, I'm from Kenya in East Africa!
Works real good! I'm on my way now to try cleaning some unnecessary stuff to my needs. But your script was helpful for lazy persons. However I'm a bit confuse with having qt5ct and qt6ct. Are they actually necessary?
This one still has an issue where if you change your resolution scale swww seems to stop working and no longer shows the wallpaper. Still havent really figured out how to fix it. Other than that the script rocks. 👍
Sol thanks for this video, I wanted to know will this work with AMD GPUs as well ? I have an amd gpu and was wondering if the steps are same to install hyprland
Been using V3 with your v2 themes for a while now. Have some customization over it too. I love it, thanks for your good work man ! The only problem i encountered so far is when I use the screenshot, the picture is pixelated, any idea what's wrong with that? I'm using a laptop with dual VGA (Intel & nvdia). And for the monitor i usually use an external monitor
Please note: hyprland-nvidia has been deleted from AUR. you must manually change the install script to install hyprland instead. nvim set-hypr (/ key) hyprland-nvidia (enter) (press I) change hyprland-nvidia to hyprland (press esc) :!wq run script.
@@SolDoesTech No problem. though i must thank you for making a really easy guide and install script. Im new to linux and it's helped alot by giving me a baseline.
Hello to Brazil! :) yes the bottom bar on the v4 can be disabled, the most easy way to do this is to rename ~/.config/HyprV/waybar/conf/v4-config-bottom.jsonc to v4-config-bottom.disabled so as you cycle through v1-v4 it would not load, and when you decide you want it back just rename it back to .jsonc . Thank you for watching!
What kind of laptop do you have? I came to your channel when you were installing Fedora on an asus. How's that going now? Can I install all this on my asus?
Hello and thank you for the comment. I dont see a reason why this wont work on an intel based GPU. The only concern is that Hyprland could be a bit sluggish. If you do decide to try this out please drop me a line with your results. Thank you for watching :)
I do have one issue with this setup, and I'm not exactly sure why it acts like this as there are seemingly no errors being thrown in the debug. But for some reason swaylock seems to just "crash" as soon as you enter ANY key.
Exellent video for getting into Arch with a useable modern desktop with a self positioning window manager. Both for new users and dinosaurs who did not use Linux on the desktop for a while. I picked this up at this V2 incarnation which does not work on my aging Thinkpad T450s. The V4 version of the script does work very well. I wanted something that does not install a ton of rubbish or things like flatpack. Arch seems perfect for that. However I did not want to configure WiFi card scripts and settings as if it was 1999. I played with Wavelan cards and firmware long enough. I am not a Linux newbie but grew up with Redhat 5.2, then SuSE, Gentoo and finally Debian on WSL2. However I haven't really used Linux on the Desktop since 2007. I also wanted something that has easy to configure WiFi for using guest networks or switch to my mobile hotspot. So I started with V2 of the script. The odd thing I immediately noticed was that I had to chmod the script. I made a note to make a pull request for that. However this was already fixed in version 3. Initially I forgot to install the network manager so I had to: 1. start over 2 chroot mount from usb and fix 3 plug in a cable I picked option 1 to fully test the script and the recipe from the video. The following thing I ran into was after reboot typing in the Wi-fi password as a commandline tool argument. That is not going to work if you have a `!` in your Wi-Fi password. Also typing it as an argument is a security risk since it will end up in the shell history unless you an extra space at the beginning of your command. For new users and people with complicated Wi-Fi passwords it might be better to suggest to use the nmtui command to select your Wi-Fi SSID and enter the Wi-Fi password via a text menu. After installing I could not login. It kept saying login failure. I double checked via another console that my password was correct. I changed it to a simple password. That did not help. Rebooting did not help. Also I noticed that the graphical login was capitalizing the first letter of my username, which is odd. Next I found out there was a V3 and V4 version of the script. I tried to install V4 over V2. That does not work immediately out of the box. You get an error about Wayland config files already existing. Deleting one file solved that. I did not investigate further configuration but first did a fresh Arch install and then used the V4 script. That works like a charm. Only the auto display scaliing settings were a bit too large for a T450s with Full-HD display. Having the explanation in the video on how to fix that saved me a ton of searching. I also appreciate the explanation about configuring the different keyboard and language settings. I have a few questions/suggestions that might be addressed in a V5 video. 0. Add a sticky note to the older videos to point to the latest version and add a warning in the older scripts that mention the same. 1. How to configure or switch multiple keyboards. I have a Planck, Corne and Cornish Zen that I sometimes connect to this laptop. On the move I want to use the installed keyboard. 2. How to change the browser to Chrome in the start-bar, remove the mail icon or change it to chrome starting Gmail, add other custom programs with appropriate icons. I will dive into the config files for this. Next steps for me are: 1. Now there is a beautiful desktop but Arch starts up with tech-gibberish I am not always interested in. I remember from Ubuntu that there was a way to beautify the startup. Having that gibberish hidden would be awesom 2. How well do captive portals work on Linux nowadays. I remember this was initially a problem with Linux. No idea how that works now. 3. Easy to use wireguard integration. 4. LunarVim (or AstroVim) config flavour of Nevim. 5. Ansible 6. IntelliJ 7. Steam, really wonder What games run well with Wayland. 8. Oh My Posh. Sorry I don't like star shell.
nwg-look-bin is 404, I removed it from the setup script to get past the error and when I get to the login screen, it fails to login, just comes right back to the login screen.
@@hudsonreyes3477 If you have Nividia.. edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add "nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprob.blacklist=nouveau" without quotes to module, you'll add to the quotes in the file. Save , close and run "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux" and it should work.
Is there any functionality lost between V3 and V4? I'm about to install this and as im AMD and I really liked that you had the different config presets in V3 I wouldnt want to lose that. Thanks for the great videos !
Hey, I request you to make the previous version upgradable by some sort of pkg management system (even if crude) rather than having to install from scratch everytime. Other than that, great work and contribution to the community!
Hello and thank you for the feedback. It seems that at this point my simple script grew to a point where an exact upgrade path is needed. I am seeing lots of feedback about that and making notes for the future. It also appears that separating the repos may need to change and this all needs to combine into a permanent single repo for easier updates. Thanks again for the comment, much appreciated!
Hello Sol, wonderful video. I totally dig in with your hyper land script. One thing I would like to mention, the V2 was the best looking among all and it would be really nice if you could add an option to choose the style while configuring or switch to the V2 style altogether!!
Hello and thank you for the comment! The option to switch between the layout is available and been in the script since V3 :) all you have to do is click the V icon in the bar and it would cycle between v1 to v2 and so on. Thanks again for the comment and thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech Thank you so much for this, I am definitely going to try this asap! wonderful work. One more thing, do you recommend tiling managers for beginners? or is there a big learning curve
I think I found a little flaw, when switching to v1 from v4 the papirus icon theme is still active until you either flip the dark/light switch or continue to v2.
run yay or yay -Suy. The version of swww from a few days ago (v0.8.0) was a big rewrite and had some annoying bugs as a result. Apparently wasn't loading the cache on initializing right which would explain why it wasn't loading the wallpaper on startup. Updating to 0.8.1 fixes it.
Hello and thank you for the comment :) you should be able to run the set-hypr V4 script on top of your existing V3 and it would update the config. It should also backup you dot files in the ~/.config folder but I still recommend to have your own backup just in case :)
This script doesn't work :/ after installing and rebooting, it locks me on the login screen. i input my password, press enter and it rethrows the login screen again and again. :/
In first of all - the video and the script is great and thanks to you the installation process is very straight forward, nothing compared installing i3wm! The only thing which I faced and I have no idea how to fix it - some apps are not in the full resolution of my laptop monitor (2k screen, nvidia RTX3060, Lenovo Legion S7 15ACH6). If I open Brave Browser or some GTK apps like Timeshift I can see that the app is blurry and is in low res compared to the rest of the system. Do you know how to fix that?
Hello and thank you for the feedback, I had seen that happen with Game launchers. You can try switching the app to a floating window with SUPER+V and see if that helps with the popup window. if it does you can set a window rule in the hyprland.conf to always have that app launch in a floating window. There may be other (possible better) ways to deal with this besides this suggestion so I would recommend the hyprland wiki wiki.hyprland.org/ and /or the hyprland discord. lots of helpful hints n both.
Hey man thanks for making this amazing video It has helped me a lot in setting up hyper land in arch Linux. But there is one thing that I want to know The thing that I want to know is that how can I know all the key bindings are they similar to bspwm default? Or are they a bit different can you help me in that please.
Great script Sol. Only one thing, pressing language name in waybar only changes the name but not the actual keyboard layout and when changing keyboard layout with the keybinding doesn't change the name in waybar. I'm using us default and greek (polytonic) keyboard and the distro I'm using is Garuda Dragonized. 2/7/23 Problem solved, I had to play with the various keyboards. Great work Sol !!!!!
Hey sol, I've tried your config months ago and it inspired me to create mine, but only thing I can't figure out is how do i set DARK THEME for thunar and palucontrol(volume control app) or even for Dolphin file manager. Do you mind helping me with that?
So awesome version again🎉!! I made some tweaks based on your V3 and have been using it as my daily work setup. However, I couldn't add a touch pad controller successfully and make it as nicely as your background change function. Could you please help me to build it or add it in your next hypr version? Thank you sooooooo much♥♥
You’d be the first guy to get Hyprland running on Fedora with NVIDIA if you made that video. I’ve was able to get it working, but no mouse. The instructions to fix NVIDIA compatibility seem to only work on Arch. I can’t run Arch on my production environment, unfortunately.
Dude, you just blew my mind! I've been working on sway for hours and hours and I still had the default way at cause I didn't have time to focus on that yet. And this... it's what I need! Thank you so much for your script, effort and video guides. I'm going to follow you closely :) Quick question. If you update your script, can I just run it in/over my current installation?
Hello and thank you for the comment :) As I release updates you would be able to install them on top of the existing config. The script would make a backup as it updates but, its always a good idea to have a backup :) Thank you for watching and enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your work and time with Everyone, this project is wonderful, I'm wondering,... does your script will work well if I already have KDE Plasma on my Arch Linux PC ?
Hello :) to set the light and dark themes you will need to edit ~/.config/HyprV/waybar/scripts/baraction lines 37-47 is where the theme is set. I am using the default Adwaita themes but you can change it to which ever you like. I hope to provide an easier way to configure this in the future.
Hello, I cannot close spotity with ctrl+q, it's that normal? I can only close it on v3 and v4 with the scroll wheel button when i see an app on the bars. There is a fix or way to control de audio? I have the "speaker" (line out) and headphones connected at the same time but when I choose line out there is no audio when the headphones are connected. I wish I can make it sound when they are "choose" and not mute them when there is another connected. btw thx for the script, this was a blessing, it is the only installer that work with my nvidia gpu. thx a lot. :)
Hello and thank you for the comment, to close a window the default binding is SUPER+F4, make surer your mouse is over said window :) Als0, if you mouse over the "V4" icon you will see the list of key binds. As far as multiple outputs, that is very interesting I have not had to deal with that scenario so I am not sure on that one, sorry i dont have more info to provide. I am happy to hear that my script was able to get you to a functioning hyprland thank you for sharing that :)
Hi Excellent video, I have tried v1 and then v4 on the same installation. The issue I am facing now is that after trying to update my kbd to "es" spanish and reboot I cannot move forward from the login page. I can set credentials but then there is loop to the login. Have you ever face something similar? I need some help.
🎉 Thank you, you previous arch-hyprland video help my solve my dual boot partitioning problems as well as introduce me to the best tiling window manager ive seen yet.
Hello, you are very welcome, that is fantastic to hear! :) Thank you for watching!
Finally, the keyboard layout indicator on the panel. Good job, I know that many of folks were struggling with that.
Very cool design overall.
It would be cool to add an interface selection when installing. If you prefer the layout of v1, v2, etc
Hello and thank you for the feedback, I will make a note of that for future improvements :)

I get a nwg-look-bin install had hailed, and when I check install.log it just says no AUR package found for nwg-look-bin
up, same prob.
same, i can't even install it manually
Did you find a solution?
same here, did you find a workaround?
@@t4imz the solution is on his GitHub page in issues. You gotta edit the file and delete the bin part or sum like that
Awesome! I have fixed all my issues from V3 and detailed them in a comment on the V3 video. V4 is running smoothly so far!! I would just like to know how to add flatpak to the update script? Thanks!
Hey sir, first of all: thank you, that looks so beautiful and easy to setup with your help.
I am a noob coming from windows (been 4 months now). Two problems I had: I did not have those numbers to switch from environments on the upper left corner when I finished the setup. Nothing critical, I had a lot of fun trying this today (maybe there is a keyboard shortcut to open another?). Another thing: somehow the keyboard layout does not change for me. Kind of annoying this one, because I had to guess the us layout for some basic commands. I even followed your example to the letter (adding pl and ru etc) and nothing happened. I could not identify the right keyboard, because the pl+ru change never applied anywhere. It could be that I did some noobish mistake but I followed the view exactly as you did, so I find it very strange. everything seems to be set to br (what I need) but still, only us on the button on the upper right corner. Detail: I have a fresh arch install with kde on it too. On KDE, the keyboard is ok.
Anyway, if you or anyone else could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it! Having a lot of fun and learning anyway! Thank you again, THIS is much more beautiful than windows, much nicer to use!
It's not working. V3 was working great but when I updated to V4 I can't even log in, SDDM just brings me back, I can't log in to the system. Any thoughts?
Better and better, excellent work! thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for me hyprland from arch repo as desktop just didn't work I really like this you are awesome as hell man , ty very much
Thank you a lot, I was struggling to put the keyboard on portugues but your tutorial helped me.
I have 1 question: What is the login manger/display manager you used? I can't figure out how to configure it. I want to change it so that when you enter your password, it doesn't display the last keypress. But I really like the config otherwise. Really nice hyprland setup! Thank you so much for sharing!
It's SDDM, using sdt theme
To hide all characters, set in it's config "/usr/share/sddm/themes/sdt/theme.conf"
ForceHideCompletePassword="true"
I'm stunned by your work and this amazing config
Awesome work can’t wait to try this out :)
Hey, thanks for all the work you do. Thought you should know that nwg-look-bin is causing a failure during install, at least on mine and a few other systems.
same here any solutions
Awesome! I love your setup script. I just needed to change some keybinds as I find the default ones kinda clunky, but otherwise it's all quite lovely.
Hey man can you teach me how? I would like to change minds as well ❤
cool stuff, you spelled configuring yay wrong at 2:33 - sorry to be that guy. i discovered how to turn off power management for my wifi from this, and more, thank you
Hi Sol, thanks for the commendable work 🎉.
I have a slight problem though, the audio volume both from the speakers and headphones is very low even at max volume of 153. Sound is okay if I live boot different distros. Is this problem unique to me and what could be the issue?
Hey, your influence is far reaching, I'm from Kenya in East Africa!
Works real good! I'm on my way now to try cleaning some unnecessary stuff to my needs. But your script was helpful for lazy persons. However I'm a bit confuse with having qt5ct and qt6ct. Are they actually necessary?
This one still has an issue where if you change your resolution scale swww seems to stop working and no longer shows the wallpaper. Still havent really figured out how to fix it. Other than that the script rocks. 👍
Sol thanks for this video, I wanted to know will this work with AMD GPUs as well ? I have an amd gpu and was wondering if the steps are same to install hyprland
Been using V3 with your v2 themes for a while now. Have some customization over it too. I love it, thanks for your good work man ! The only problem i encountered so far is when I use the screenshot, the picture is pixelated, any idea what's wrong with that? I'm using a laptop with dual VGA (Intel & nvdia). And for the monitor i usually use an external monitor
for some reason I can't log in using my account, it just says login failed
It keeps telling me that theres no hyprland-nvidia
maan, help me, im stuck, i installed hyprland v2, now i want to uninstall it, how do i do it?????
Please note: hyprland-nvidia has been deleted from AUR. you must manually change the install script to install hyprland instead.
nvim set-hypr
(/ key) hyprland-nvidia (enter)
(press I)
change hyprland-nvidia to hyprland
(press esc)
:!wq
run script.
thank you so much.
@@djdje75hbebd5kzoem you're most welcome.
Thank you for providing a solution and posting it here, much appreciated! I am looking into updating the script now.
@@SolDoesTech No problem. though i must thank you for making a really easy guide and install script. Im new to linux and it's helped alot by giving me a baseline.
There is some way to remove or config the bottom bar?
Congrats from Brazil!
Hello to Brazil! :) yes the bottom bar on the v4 can be disabled, the most easy way to do this is to rename ~/.config/HyprV/waybar/conf/v4-config-bottom.jsonc to v4-config-bottom.disabled so as you cycle through v1-v4 it would not load, and when you decide you want it back just rename it back to .jsonc . Thank you for watching!
Awesome work! This is extremely random, but your voice sounds like another youtubers named PlanB.
What kind of laptop do you have? I came to your channel when you were installing Fedora on an asus. How's that going now? Can I install all this on my asus?
It's just that the new asus laptops are not linux friendly
Hey, Sol! You really made a Really Good Design, but i have a question Is it possible for me to Install this thing In my laptop Intel GPU?
Hello and thank you for the comment. I dont see a reason why this wont work on an intel based GPU. The only concern is that Hyprland could be a bit sluggish. If you do decide to try this out please drop me a line with your results. Thank you for watching :)
Hey, I was wondering if there is any way to remove the bottom bar? I don't really use it and i cant figure out how to remove it... thanks in advance!
I do have one issue with this setup, and I'm not exactly sure why it acts like this as there are seemingly no errors being thrown in the debug. But for some reason swaylock seems to just "crash" as soon as you enter ANY key.
Amazing tutorial series❤ Would love to see tutorials for intel gpu support
Exellent video for getting into Arch with a useable modern desktop with a self positioning window manager. Both for new users and dinosaurs who did not use Linux on the desktop for a while.
I picked this up at this V2 incarnation which does not work on my aging Thinkpad T450s. The V4 version of the script does work very well.
I wanted something that does not install a ton of rubbish or things like flatpack. Arch seems perfect for that. However I did not want to configure WiFi card scripts and settings as if it was 1999. I played with Wavelan cards and firmware long enough. I am not a Linux newbie but grew up with Redhat 5.2, then SuSE, Gentoo and finally Debian on WSL2. However I haven't really used Linux on the Desktop since 2007.
I also wanted something that has easy to configure WiFi for using guest networks or switch to my mobile hotspot.
So I started with V2 of the script.
The odd thing I immediately noticed was that I had to chmod the script. I made a note to make a pull request for that. However this was already fixed in version 3.
Initially I forgot to install the network manager so I had to:
1. start over
2 chroot mount from usb and fix
3 plug in a cable
I picked option 1 to fully test the script and the recipe from the video.
The following thing I ran into was after reboot typing in the Wi-fi password as a commandline tool argument. That is not going to work if you have a `!` in your Wi-Fi password. Also typing it as an argument is a security risk since it will end up in the shell history unless you an extra space at the beginning of your command. For new users and people with complicated Wi-Fi passwords it might be better to suggest to use the nmtui command to select your Wi-Fi SSID and enter the Wi-Fi password via a text menu.
After installing I could not login. It kept saying login failure. I double checked via another console that my password was correct. I changed it to a simple password. That did not help. Rebooting did not help. Also I noticed that the graphical login was capitalizing the first letter of my username, which is odd. Next I found out there was a V3 and V4 version of the script. I tried to install V4 over V2. That does not work immediately out of the box. You get an error about Wayland config files already existing. Deleting one file solved that.
I did not investigate further configuration but first did a fresh Arch install and then used the V4 script.
That works like a charm. Only the auto display scaliing settings were a bit too large for a T450s with Full-HD display. Having the explanation in the video on how to fix that saved me a ton of searching. I also appreciate the explanation about configuring the different keyboard and language settings.
I have a few questions/suggestions that might be addressed in a V5 video.
0. Add a sticky note to the older videos to point to the latest version and add a warning in the older scripts that mention the same.
1. How to configure or switch multiple keyboards. I have a Planck, Corne and Cornish Zen that I sometimes connect to this laptop. On the move I want to use the installed keyboard.
2. How to change the browser to Chrome in the start-bar, remove the mail icon or change it to chrome starting Gmail, add other custom programs with appropriate icons. I will dive into the config files for this.
Next steps for me are:
1. Now there is a beautiful desktop but Arch starts up with tech-gibberish I am not always interested in. I remember from Ubuntu that there was a way to beautify the startup. Having that gibberish hidden would be awesom
2. How well do captive portals work on Linux nowadays. I remember this was initially a problem with Linux. No idea how that works now.
3. Easy to use wireguard integration.
4. LunarVim (or AstroVim) config flavour of Nevim.
5. Ansible
6. IntelliJ
7. Steam, really wonder What games run well with Wayland.
8. Oh My Posh. Sorry I don't like star shell.
keep up the those videos bro, these are so cool!
works amazing, thank you bro
You're very welcome :)
nwg-look-bin is 404, I removed it from the setup script to get past the error and when I get to the login screen, it fails to login, just comes right back to the login screen.
Got the same error
@@hudsonreyes3477 If you have Nividia.. edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add "nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprob.blacklist=nouveau" without quotes to module, you'll add to the quotes in the file. Save , close and run "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux" and it should work.

The install script should enable multilib and install base-devel, but this is great stuff :) Good work.
Is there any functionality lost between V3 and V4?
I'm about to install this and as im AMD and I really liked that you had the different config presets in V3 I wouldnt want to lose that.
Thanks for the great videos !
Hey, I request you to make the previous version upgradable by some sort of pkg management system (even if crude) rather than having to install from scratch everytime.
Other than that, great work and contribution to the community!
Hello and thank you for the feedback. It seems that at this point my simple script grew to a point where an exact upgrade path is needed. I am seeing lots of feedback about that and making notes for the future. It also appears that separating the repos may need to change and this all needs to combine into a permanent single repo for easier updates. Thanks again for the comment, much appreciated!
Hello Sol, wonderful video. I totally dig in with your hyper land script. One thing I would like to mention, the V2 was the best looking among all and it would be really nice if you could add an option to choose the style while configuring or switch to the V2 style altogether!!
Hello and thank you for the comment! The option to switch between the layout is available and been in the script since V3 :) all you have to do is click the V icon in the bar and it would cycle between v1 to v2 and so on. Thanks again for the comment and thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech Thank you so much for this, I am definitely going to try this asap! wonderful work.
One more thing, do you recommend tiling managers for beginners? or is there a big learning curve
I think I found a little flaw, when switching to v1 from v4 the papirus icon theme is still active until you either flip the dark/light switch or continue to v2.
in my installation the walpaper gone when i reboot or logout, every time i have to change the light mode or dark mode to work
run yay or yay -Suy. The version of swww from a few days ago (v0.8.0) was a big rewrite and had some annoying bugs as a result. Apparently wasn't loading the cache on initializing right which would explain why it wasn't loading the wallpaper on startup. Updating to 0.8.1 fixes it.
I have V4 running on 3 systems now, very cool
Great video, keep up the good work.
Is there a way to upgrade from V3 to V4 without reinstalling hyprland?
Hello and thank you for the comment :) you should be able to run the set-hypr V4 script on top of your existing V3 and it would update the config. It should also backup you dot files in the ~/.config folder but I still recommend to have your own backup just in case :)
@@SolDoesTech Great!, thank you!
Thanks a lot, this is awesome!
You are very welcome :)
This script doesn't work :/ after installing and rebooting, it locks me on the login screen. i input my password, press enter and it rethrows the login screen again and again. :/
Same for me
Hi did you find solution?
In first of all - the video and the script is great and thanks to you the installation process is very straight forward, nothing compared installing i3wm!
The only thing which I faced and I have no idea how to fix it - some apps are not in the full resolution of my laptop monitor (2k screen, nvidia RTX3060, Lenovo Legion S7 15ACH6). If I open Brave Browser or some GTK apps like Timeshift I can see that the app is blurry and is in low res compared to the rest of the system. Do you know how to fix that?
When I open a popup window such as saving an image or opening a document, it goes below the waybar, why does that happen?
Hello and thank you for the feedback, I had seen that happen with Game launchers. You can try switching the app to a floating window with SUPER+V and see if that helps with the popup window. if it does you can set a window rule in the hyprland.conf to always have that app launch in a floating window. There may be other (possible better) ways to deal with this besides this suggestion so I would recommend the hyprland wiki wiki.hyprland.org/ and /or the hyprland discord. lots of helpful hints n both.
Hey man thanks for making this amazing video It has helped me a lot in setting up hyper land in arch Linux. But there is one thing that I want to know The thing that I want to know is that how can I know all the key bindings are they similar to bspwm default? Or are they a bit different can you help me in that please.
Great script Sol. Only one thing, pressing language name in waybar only changes the name but not the actual keyboard layout and when changing keyboard layout with the keybinding doesn't change the name in waybar. I'm using us default and greek (polytonic) keyboard and the distro I'm using is Garuda Dragonized.
2/7/23 Problem solved, I had to play with the various keyboards.
Great work Sol !!!!!
Hey sol, I've tried your config months ago and it inspired me to create mine, but only thing I can't figure out is how do i set DARK THEME for thunar and palucontrol(volume control app) or even for Dolphin file manager. Do you mind helping me with that?
Hey Sol, thanks for the tutorial, but there is a problem, it is the latency when I open any app, it just takes so long.
So awesome version again🎉!!
I made some tweaks based on your V3 and have been using it as my daily work setup. However, I couldn't add a touch pad controller successfully and make it as nicely as your background change function. Could you please help me to build it or add it in your next hypr version? Thank you sooooooo much♥♥
You’d be the first guy to get Hyprland running on Fedora with NVIDIA if you made that video. I’ve was able to get it working, but no mouse. The instructions to fix NVIDIA compatibility seem to only work on Arch. I can’t run Arch on my production environment, unfortunately.
Where have you been? This latest video is a year old. Are you still alive? Did you move to a new channel, and I missed the memo?
Dude, you just blew my mind! I've been working on sway for hours and hours and I still had the default way at cause I didn't have time to focus on that yet. And this... it's what I need! Thank you so much for your script, effort and video guides. I'm going to follow you closely :)
Quick question. If you update your script, can I just run it in/over my current installation?
Hello and thank you for the comment :) As I release updates you would be able to install them on top of the existing config. The script would make a backup as it updates but, its always a good idea to have a backup :) Thank you for watching and enjoy!
what program is used for all the icons and stuff on the bottom of the screen
Hello, thank you for the question. That is another instance of the waybar.
Thanks for sharing your work and time with Everyone, this project is wonderful, I'm wondering,... does your script will work well if I already have KDE Plasma on my Arch Linux PC ?
Super cool tool! I love that. Is there any particular reason why it does not work on vm? I tried it and in fact it does not work
Hi again Sol! If I want to use other themes as dark/light, is it doable ? Some config file to change ?
Hello :) to set the light and dark themes you will need to edit ~/.config/HyprV/waybar/scripts/baraction lines 37-47 is where the theme is set. I am using the default Adwaita themes but you can change it to which ever you like. I hope to provide an easier way to configure this in the future.
Perfect!! Thanks Sol 🙏🏻
Hello,
I cannot close spotity with ctrl+q, it's that normal? I can only close it on v3 and v4 with the scroll wheel button when i see an app on the bars.
There is a fix or way to control de audio? I have the "speaker" (line out) and headphones connected at the same time but when I choose line out there is no audio when the headphones are connected. I wish I can make it sound when they are "choose" and not mute them when there is another connected.
btw thx for the script, this was a blessing, it is the only installer that work with my nvidia gpu. thx a lot.
:)
Hello and thank you for the comment, to close a window the default binding is SUPER+F4, make surer your mouse is over said window :) Als0, if you mouse over the "V4" icon you will see the list of key binds. As far as multiple outputs, that is very interesting I have not had to deal with that scenario so I am not sure on that one, sorry i dont have more info to provide. I am happy to hear that my script was able to get you to a functioning hyprland thank you for sharing that :)
Can you please tell me how can I set the background from v1 and v2 to this version?
Hi Excellent video, I have tried v1 and then v4 on the same installation. The issue I am facing now is that after trying to update my kbd to "es" spanish and reboot I cannot move forward from the login page. I can set credentials but then there is loop to the login. Have you ever face something similar? I need some help.
