Arch Install and Hyprland setup

[@drewpaschal9294]

As I go through your video, I'll post some quick tips and re-edit my comment to add them: 1 - iwctl station connect then put in your Wi-Fi password when you are prompted. I prefer this rather than interactive mode. 2 - You should install microcode in the additional packages. intel-ucode or amd-ucode. 3 - on first boot, nmtui to setup network. It's ncurses menu driven and just easy. 4 - Great video. Thank you!

I use Linux less than a year. I used Ubuntu, last month I migrate to Manjaro, and this week I migrate to Arch. I never saw a graphic S.O. in this way, and I loved. One day, when I learn more about arch, maybe one day, I will install your version. So much beatiful. I love the transparent without top bar terminal.

@@zakirdeshmukh9916 try to find out what you want to do with your computer; coding, video editing, music authoring, etc. and find a distro that fits your needs and desired effort level. Arch is nice but it does require a lot of knowledge about configuring your system from scratch. An out of the box distro might get you going quicker but you may lose out on the opportunity to force yourself to learn the intricacies of linux and arch. Arch does have an official install script now. I recommend if you do use arch choose the desktop setting and choose a launcher of your choice. This should get you a graphical interface to start you off with and you can go from there.

This point could cause some confusion for some users without some kind of disclaimer in the video or someplace easily visible to them. I for one have 3 machines, my main uses esc, my secondary uses f12 and my third (which i barely use) takes f2 for the boot menu.

Grub was good with MBR partitioned disks by overriding boot record with its own when you needed a dual-boot setup with another OS.

Is it possible to install this on top of an existing Wayland arch Linux kde installation?

[@SolDoesTech]

Hello, yes its possible but make sure to backup your system just in case :) after you install SDDM should have an entry for hyprland. If that entry doesnt launch hyprland then you may need to install sddm-git to replace the standard sddm

thanks for the tutorial, but i cant get the partitions working for some reason, and it doesn't add arch as a boot device??

Guys , when I reached to "./set-hypr" gave me too many errors and when i tried to repeat the command it gaves me " -bash: usr/bin/chmod: Input/output error " how can I solve that problem?

honestly just try and find a newer video, some of this stuff is outdated. this youtuber also made a tutorial V2, maybe check it out, but i haven't tried the other vid yet

Yo bro, thanks for the video. I started used Arch Linux a few months and i configure qtile. But i would configure other window manager and i think hyprland and you sharing this knowledge. Big thanks love!

I've got a PROBLEM! The highest resolution my laptop monitor is supporting is 1280x720. It usually runs on 1920x1080. Xrandr however says that 1920x1080 not found in available modes.

[@SolDoesTech]

Hello and thank you for the comment. execute this command while in an Hyprland session: hyprctl monitors This would give you an output of your monitor port and resolution. you can then edit ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.con and update the line reading monitor= to monitor=,1920x1080,auto, auto Hope this solves the issue, thank you for watching!

[@adityasilwal7069]

@@SolDoesTech manually settings the resolution and refresh in the hyprland config fixed it! Thanks!!!

Can you make a video tutorial on how to install and use the "NEWM" window manager? Newm is a window manager for wayland that doesn't use virtual desktops per se, but instead arranges all windows on something similar to a canvas

I have tried installing Archlinux in my iMac 21", but got stuck in the Loading init ramdisk after a reboot. Now I'm still figuring out how to resolve it so I can login to my DM.

[@erisamtf]

Quick question. Arch newbie here. I installed this alongside Wayland, unaware that it isn't the same as something like installing a DE on Ubuntu, where you can just remove it and start pretty fresh. I ended up not needed Hyprland since i don't care much about ricing and didn't need all the utilities and functionality. Is there an easy way to remove all of this without losing data? I forgot to create a snapshot. Wayland was significantly laggier, terminal looked bad due to conflicting configs, etc.

[@samir2zk135]

IDK if it happened to anyone else but my Waybar stopped working, some features just didn't seem to work. I did yay -S waybar-hyprland or got that package and build it and than everything started working flawlessly.

[@SolDoesTech]

That is interesting, thanks for posting your fix here for others, much appreciated!

nice. good tutorial. just a quick question, why do you have to clone yay into /opt where you can just clone into your home folder, (for initial installation), then after yay installed, the yay directory cloned can be deleted safely deleted. Because if I remember it correctly when aur packages needs to download some updates/packages from aur, it is using ~/.cache. Im just wondering. Nice of you to share your config. gives me and idea how to use keyboard brightness control.

[@SolDoesTech]

Hello and thank you for the comment. You are 100% correct that you can clone yay to basically anywhere and then delete it after it's installed. I like to use /opt and I keep it around but that the beauty of linux we get to customize and do things our own way :) glad to hear the config is giving you inspiration for managing your own items, enjoy and thank you for watching!

[@Ja.KooLit]

@@SolDoesTech thanks alot. Oh I see now. Another question, how did you get those numbers for the special hotkeys? Tried on my laptop and so far all corresponds to those special keys. And thanks to your config, that armoury crate button now has a purpose lmao. All I need now is F6, F9 and F11. You have a discord or FB? Oh and also, do you experienced that if you have external monitor connected, and disconnecting the xternal monitor hyprland will log out? edit: found the command for getting the keybind numbers... wev or xorg-xev

[@SolDoesTech]

@@Ja.KooLit Hello, you are correct I used wev to fin the correct keys for the monitor issue. I have not experienced that issue but try using a startup file for Hypr and include "export WLR_EGL_NO_MODIFIERS=1" that may help.

Hello and thank you for the comment. You can install sddm but use the git version so: yay -S sddm-git As far as running on a VM, its important that 3D acceleration is enabled for Hyprland to work , if that is not enabled then Hyprland may not launch. Thank you for watching!
