Time, Date and other stuff aren't updating

[ilolm]

I use Arch Linux with the Hyprland desktop environment. Hyprlock is working fine except for one issue: when I lock my machine and the PC is idle (no mouse or keyboard activity), the time, date, and other information displayed by Hyprlock do not update. They only update when I move my mouse or type something on my keyboard.

Please watch the attached video for a demonstration.

This is my hyprlock conifg.

Also I have nvidia 555.52.04 version. I use this version of nvidia, because it doesn't have issues with screen blinking in some software.

Closed by miss-click, sorry

[natsukashiixo]

Same issue but with nvidia 550.90.07

also, labels and images properly update on my AMD iGPU laptop. Possibly nvidia-specific?

[ilolm]

Nvidia 560 fixed it.

[OliverKreitmeyer]

I am still having this issue on fedora 40, using nvidia 550.90.07 and two monitors... Is it possible to fix this without updating nvidia drivers?

[ilolm]

No, the issue is only with drivers.

[Flameopathic]

@ilolm not sure what you mean by 660, haven't seen a driver with that version come out yet. even 560 still has the issue for me

Sorry, It's a typo. I meant 560.

Do you use arch?

[newcharhuso]

How did the Nvidia 560 worked out for you? Any problems?

works on a single monitor config, still broken on a multimonitor. RTX3080

Temp solution - call via sctipt that changes config file of WM and disables second monitor before calling hyprlock.
