Hyprland: Default Invalid Session Entry

[hakan-demirli]

Describe the bug

2 session entries are generated on login manager.

• Hyprland (systemd)
• Hyprland

Hyprland (systemd) is selected by default and it is buggy.

• No way to launch kitty or any terminal.
• exec-once is not working.
• Keybindings are not working.

Just Hyprland entry is working as expected.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. programs.hyprland.enable = true;
2. reboot
3. Select Hyprland (systemd) session entry on boot. (Selected by default on my system).

Expected behavior

• Regular Hyprland experience.

Additional context

Happened after https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/354900 and related to uwsm session manager.

I think the systemd entry should not be created or at least should not be selected by default.

The breaking changes listed on the release page also do not mention the introduction of uwsm.

The breaking changes listed on the release page also do not mention the introduction of uwsm.

Because uwsm was introduced after the release.

I'm not sure why the systemd session file appears, as it's not explicitly defined in passthru.providedSessions. I can add a patch that removes it until the next release though.

The fact that it's selected by default is most likely because of the the display manager's ordering.

I had the same issue, had to fix the default entry by enabling

services.displayManager.sddm.settings = { 
  General = {
    DefaultSession = "hyprland.desktop";
  };
};
