after unlock from hypridle/hyprlock, no wallpaper is shown

[matjam]

The process does not appear to have crashed but it seems to lose its handle the the desktop layer. Restarting it, resolves the issue.

This is a bit weird. I have tried with swaylock on sway and it's working as expected. I'll try on my Hyprland machine on Monday.

And thanks for opening the issue @matjam !

I probably have the same issue (though the issue was/is swayidle and not swaylock). I tought it was a swayidle specific issue so I swapped to hypridle, but it happens with hypridle as well. It's probably worth mentioning that it only affects my main monitor while my side monitor still has a wallpaper after waking up.

possibly useful info:

wpaperd version 1.0.1 driver: NVIDIA-SMI 550.90.07 main monitor: DisplayPort, horizontal, rotating backgrounds side monitor: HDMI, vertical, static background (or rather there's only one picture in the folder so it can't rotate)

(As a sidenote, it seems like waking up from idle actually kills a lot of GUI applications on my machine. Discord, kitty and Firefox have all randomly disappeared after waking up the computer, but which ones are inconsistent. wpaperd is consistently affected though.)

I see. Can you please share the wpaperd logs? They would help in understanding what's happening. To get the logs, either run wpaperd in a terminal, or run it as a daemon (--daemon) and look in ~/.local/state/wpaperd. Thank you!

sorry that it took a few days, elden ring happened. unless i force the verbose flag I don't get any error messages, if you need me to run the backtrace as well I could use some basic instructions since I'm not much of a developer. not sure if i just write export RUST_BACKTRACE=value in my .zshrc or how its done.
