Config is not pre-installed, WM opens broken

[indicozy]

Hi there! I watched your video on Reddit and gave it a try!

Please describe the bug I followed all steps for building and adding to Xsessions, however when I start from SDDM, Arch Linux, nothing happens but there comes a black-ish bar on top of my SDDM. I guess that Hypr is trying to start some applications as picom, but fails.

Steps to reproduce: Have a clean build of Arch + KDE, build Hypr, watch it failing to start

Expected behavior Hypr starts successfully as expected

Screenshots I will add in the reply

Anything else? Also, is there any tutorial/wiki on hotkeys? I am a bit lost. I can contribute to wiki if that would be helpful

Bar on top is hardly visible, SDDM itself is unclickable, like it's an image. When I worked with other WMs, like BSPWM, an experience was similar. The bar comes in with an animation, slides down in about 0.5 seconds.

You need to start something. Xorg does NOT clean your desktop after you log in. With the default config, you have no keybinds. (I forgot to mention that, I should make it automatically use the example)

Paste the example config (/example/hypr.conf) into ~/.config/hypr/hypr.conf

Press SUPER+ENTER to open xterm. It should pop up.

To set up a wallpaper, use something like feh or nitrogen. That will make your SDDM login screen disappear.

You can make them autostart with the exec-once keyword that is shown in the example config.

I have updated the wiki to explicitly say you need to copy the example config. I might make hypr generate a basic config in the future if none are found.

Please let me know if the instructions above fix your issue.

Thanks, I did that, but now I got another issue, I will open it
