[nvidia] Text only updates on input trigger

[anders130]

Description

When using Hyprlock with Nvidia configuration, I've encountered a problem in the updating of text in label and input field. When locking the screen i only get a new time on the clock when i move my mouse all the time or type something on the keyboard. The text for the authentication error behaves the same.

This is my hyprlock configuration:

general {
    hide_cursor = false
}
background {
    monitor =
    path = /home/jesse/Pictures/Wallpapers/main.png

    brightness = 0.5

    blur_passes = 3
    blur_size = 4
}
input-field {
    monitor = DP-2
    size = 250, 50
    outline_thickness = 3
    dots_size = 0.33 # Scale of input-field height, 0.2 - 0.8
    dots_spacing = 0.15 # Scale of dots' absolute size, 0.0 - 1.0
    dots_center = false
    dots_rounding = -2 # -1 default circle, -2 follow input-field rounding
    outer_color = rgb(404040)
    inner_color = rgb(151515)
    font_color = rgb(255, 255, 255)
    fade_on_empty = true
    fade_timeout = 1000 # Milliseconds before fade_on_empty is triggered.
    placeholder_text = <i><span foreground='##aaaaaa'>Input Password...</span></i> # Text rendered in the input box when it's empty.
    hide_input = false
    rounding = -1 # -1 means complete rounding (circle/oval)
    check_color = rgb(204, 136, 34)
    fail_color = rgb(204, 34, 34) # if authentication failed, changes outer_color and fail message color
    fail_text = <i>$FAIL <b>($ATTEMPTS)</b></i> # can be set to empty
    fail_transition = 300 # transition time in ms between normal outer_color and fail_color
    capslock_color = rgb(51, 204, 255)
    numlock_color = -1
    bothlock_color = -1 # when both locks are active. -1 means don't change outer color (same for above)
    invert_numlock = false # change color if numlock is off

    position = 0, -20
    halign = center
    valign = center
}
label {
    monitor = DP-2
    text = cmd[update:1000] echo "<span foreground='##ff2222'>$(date)</span>"
    font_family = CaskaydiaCove NFM
}

have you tried hyprlock-git? it was fixed there iirc.

[anders130]

I am very new to the nixos and hyprland stuff, so I don't know if this is right. As I think you suggested I have done the following: I have tried to add the hyprlock repo as a flake input with this:

        hyprlock.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprlock";

then I imported the home-manager module inside the modules array of the nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem of my flake

{
    home-manager.users.${username} = {
        imports = [
            hyprlock.homeManagerModules.hyprlock
        ];
    };
}

to enable i have set programs.hyprlock.enable = true; I hope, this is the thing you suggested. Unfortunately I still have the same behavior with the labels not updating.

[PaideiaDilemma]

Looks fine. Make sure you do hyprlock.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs" Then do nix flake lock --update-input hyprlock and you should run the latest version.

[anders130]

Ah thanks for the clarification @PaideiaDilemma. I applied your suggestions but it unfortunately didn't change the behavior.

[cmhulbert]

I think I'm in a similar position. I'm also using the github hyprlock module, and seeing this same issue, where the labels are only updating on input trigger. Let me know if there is any info I can help provide!

[cenunix]

hyprlock 0.pre+date=2024-03-31_071ebce -> 0.pre+date=2024-04-08_bc87adf

updated, still wont refresh the time unless i move the mouse around. Also, Hyprlock will lag/freeze up half the time when typing and unlocking, pretty sure this is an nvidia issue. Even though its gpu accelerated it looks like half of the screen is slowly fading over the span of 3-5 seconds from the lock screen into my desktop.

[nnra6864]

Same here, using nvidia and it doesn't load unless I move the mouse/type. Another weird thing compared to others is that the time I am displaying like this: text = cmd[update:1000] echo "<span foreground='##eceff4'>$(date)</span>" doesn't update consistently even if I move the mouse, sometimes it updates per second, sometimes 2 and sometimes 5, it's really odd.

[PaideiaDilemma]

I installed hyprlock on a pc with a 1080ti today using the 550.67 drivers. When starting hyprlock cmd[update:500] date updated just fine, but after entering a wrong password it started to miss some seconds and get "out of sync". It was visible through the logs (-v) that some timer updates did not render. My guess is that the frameCallback does not get fired on time.

[svyatoclav]

Artix with 1080Ti, last pacman build and drivers, same issue here and it feels really laggy...

[olterman]

I have the same issue on Debian 13 with nvidia, clock only updates when mouse moves or button is pressed, works fine on other box where I do not have dual monitors.

[NichtSylph]

Same issue here with Nvidia driver v550, I have 4 monitors in total, 1 of them has all the labels and time/labels only update when doing an input on the monitor that has the labels.

[cenunix]

I guess we’ll see how things turn out with the upcoming 555 drivers then eh? Not sure if that would have any affect, we’ll have to see.

[nnra6864]

Still happening for me on nvidia 555, although it seems just slightly better, visuals update occasionally without me providing any input.

[FelipeFMA]

I have the same issue on the beta 555 nvidia driver

[cenunix]

yup, still broken asf for nvidia users :(

[Tisteos]

Same on beta 555 driver

[PaideiaDilemma]

I investigated a bit more and found that wl_display_read_events takes a long time and that causes the stutters. Weirdly enough it takes exactly 1 second for it to execute.

[nnra6864]

I just tested it out with 0.41 and it's... better? I got a red flash when starting it, followed by accurate timer updates and... It just went downhill from there. Timer started skipping, deleting characters was fairly laggy(3+ deleted usually causes the lag and not present in hyprlock-git) and finally entering the password made the hyprlock disappear smoothly. However, I couldn't do anything, all I could do was switch to another tty and back to Hyprland which gave me back the control.

[a-usr]

For me this issue also happens with upstream hyprland and hyprlock. When starting hyprlock the ui only updates when receiving input, and if I try to exit hyprlock by entering my password without some amount of updates having occured it returns to hyprland, but hyprland is unresponsive. If that amount of updates has occured however (whatever amount it may be) the session unlocks just fine upon entering my password correctly.
