- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- In this video covers the new version 2.6 of my dotfiles for Hyprland and Qtile.
With the support and feedback of many Linux users and followers of this channel, I was able to implement exciting new features into this new version.
Download the new version from my Gitlab repository.
gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotf...
You will find detailed information about the installation and update process + some tips and tricks in the README file.
NEW key features:
Settings script to change Hyprland configurations with variations on the fly to update window border, rounding and transparency or manage different monitor settings and environment variable. The video explains how you can create your own custom variation to create your own personal Hyprland experience.
New white and black Waybar themes to give the overall Hyprland experience a modern and high quality look and feel.
Improved installation script for Hyprland and Qtile incl. backups, restore from the previous version and improved user experience with the great library gum.
Please also read the CHANGELOG for more information.

Thank you.
Nice work Stephan. Great having to try this. Gonna sit on tight with this. TYSM for the release
Thank you !
I love how much passion you put in this. Keep going!
Thanks.
Stephan! Starting from a simple customization, you made an almost complete desktop environment! I'm so happy to follow you and keep updating your dotfiles. Thank YOU!
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Wow! Thanks for the awesome work! I’ll be trying it out soon!
👍
Looking forward to the upgrade after work. Thank you for this! Best quality dot files out there imo.
Thanks. Have fun with it.
Thank you for sharing your dotfiles.
👍
Phenomenal! This is by far the best dot files I have seen to date. Perfect for configuring and works flawlessly with intuitive installation process. Thankyou---!
Thanks for testing and your feedback.
Dude I just installed this and wow, it's gorgeous. Thank you for sparing me all that manual work and for having such good taste.
Thank you. Have fun with it.
Great Work ! This Project only now one way and that's Progress awesome keep on rocking😎🍿🖖
Thanks.
Love your dotfiles! The Hyprland and Qtile conf must be the best i've found till now, with the clean setup with several files and ie the theme/color settings 😁
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your content. Just found you today and absolutely sooo happy to have Pywal working properly with hyper. And so much more. Keep it up, you’re awesome.
Thank you. Have fun with it.
Hi Stephan, as always you absolutely blow me away with your dotfiles, i love everything with them. great work to the God of Dotfiles 😁
Thank you so much.
Amazing work. Job well done
Thank you.
Sers Stephan! Schön dich Mal wieder zu sehen und zu hören ;-) viel Erfolg mit dem Projekt!
Danke Dir. 👍
Stephan, you became a Hyprland's mad scientist, definitely! Awesome work!
😀👍
😂
awesome !!! thanks for sharing 👌🙏

Wow! I love the new configuration menu. I can’t wait to try this. It’s incredible how this project still manages to improve so much in such a short time. Thank you
The black bubbles with white font in waybar looks very good
Thank you so much. Have fun with it.
wow, amazing community projects
Thanks.
this is amazing - instant follow and have tons of question for personal setup
Thanks. 2.7 will come soon
@@mylinuxforworkhow do I get the icons to stay after changed?
@@andril Do you mean waybar icons?
@@mylinuxforwork icons in Thunar, every time I reboot they revert back to the stock. I am loving this setup and slowly converting all my other machines over once I get it right
@@mylinuxforwork no issues - just asking how can i keep the icons after reboot?
special thanks, im now use :)
Great.
This is an amazing piece of work you did there. Thank you for that.
SAdly about 2-3 weeks ago swaylock-effects started working and i am forced to use normal swaylock now.
Can you describe your issue a bit more. It’s posdible that you need to install yay -S swaylock-effects-git and replace the existing package.
@@mylinuxforwork i actually switched back and forth from swaylock, over swaylock-effects to swaylock-effects-git. the only one that throws no error and actually locks is the "original" swaylock. when executing the others from terminal i get the error: [main.c:1824] Compositor does not support the input inhibitor protocol, refusing to run insecurely. thats why i thought maybe you or your community encountered the same. i am currently writing on a swaylock config to use with the non effects version. because without a lockscreen feels somewhat off. ive googled the error but that was inconclusive. and reinstalling the whole system seems a little bit overkill.
It works fine in VM, I'll be testing it on bare metal tomorrow. Great work.
Great feedback. Have fun with it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much.
I use it and it's great without needing to change it further.
Great.
Pfff beautiful ❤
👍
Thank you so much for this project, Stephan! This project, combined with studying the Hyprland Wiki, has taught me a lot! One idea that I'd personally find useful: A cheatsheet that re-renders after there are changes to the keybindings. Garuda Hyprland has a static cheatsheet, accessible by a button in the Waybar. Thank you again! And, if you ever setup a Patreon, I'll be there!
Hi. Try a right click on the Apps button on Hyprland to get a rofi including all keybindings.
@@mylinuxforwork Thank you! But I'm seeing an empty rofi here, except for a miniaturized version of the wallpaper, a search bar, and what appears to be a highlight field, as if the keybindings didn't populate. I'm looking through the files to see if it's something that I can fix.
@@Just_Add_Coffee Can you send me a screenshot via email? Must be something really special on your system.
Great work ! Thanks. If anyone is thinking about using SDDM with any Wayland Desktop Environment or Window manager it is best to change the SDDM session to Wayland. The Arch wiki for SDDM has details on this. It is well worth doing if you want to use Wayland otherwise SDDM will start X11 which can cause some degradation of your lovely Wayland experience.
Great and helpful comment. Thank you for this.
I'm fairly new to hyprland but not linux but omg I love your dotfiles the customization is so smooth and really good can't wait for more content videos Stephan😊
How to I change my waybar I kinda clicked the wrong thing and it's different
Nm I fixed it
Great. Have fun with it.
Tip for supporting Diff Comparisons inside the Thunar file browser. #1 - Install Meld, #2 - Open Thunar and go to the Edit Menu and select "Configure custom actions..." #3 - Click the + button to add a new custom action. #4 - Type in the Basic Tab Details (Name: Compare, Description: Compares selected files or folders in Meld, Command: meld %F, Optional set the icon, search on meld and select the meld icon) #5 - Type in the Appearance Conditions Tab (File Pattern: *, Range (min-max): *, Check the two check boxes, first checkbox next to Directories, second checkbox next to Text files). #6 - Click OK, close custom actions, quit Thunar and relaunch Thunar. Enjoy! Select files or select folders and then right-click and select Compare on the Thunar context menu that appears.
Thanks for this input. Will look into it.
Thanks
Thank you so much.
2.6 worked in my Arch in a much better way as shown. Dot files 2.5 has been disapointment. however it worded well with EndeavourOS. Thanks, much greater efforts has been taken by you.
Thanks. I agree that 2.6 is much more stable than 2.5. Hyprland and Arch is a journey. 😀
Thank you for that, i just want to ak you how to uptade and i see this video thank you again
Thanks for trying it out.
Use this on all my machines now. Love it. Great work 🎉 Any tips on how to setup persistent workspaces on dual monitor setup?
That’s great. Dual monitor setup will be covered in an upcoming video. Until then please check wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Monitors/ You can create your own dualmonitor variation and select it with the new settings script.
On arcolinux awesome WM system which did not already have hyprland or wayland, I installed 2.6 It worked perfectly (as expected)
Great. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
das ich auf meine alten Tage nun bei Hyprland gelandet bin ist Deinem tollen Script geschuldet. Ich hatte schon mal eine wenig in die "Tilling - Welt" hinen geschnuppert Garuda und Arcolinux. Letztlich war mir das zu kompliziert. Dagegen ist Dein Script selbst für einen Deppen wie mich zu Händeln. Super Arbeit und vielen dank Stephan. Edit - würde mich über ein Setting Fenster für die Keyblindings freuen. Das würde die Sache gerade am Anfang leichter machen.
Danke Dir für dein Feedback. Freut mich sehr. Du kannst mit der rechten Maustaste auf Apps klicken. Dann sollte ein rofi menu mit den aktuellen keybindings erscheinen. Oder habe ich deinen Feature Request falsch verstanden?
Hi Stephan,
Thank you for your incredible work on Hyprland dotfile.
I'm writing to seek your guidance on how to customize the status bar or top dock or what it's name
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I just installed Arch and Hyprland yesterday and am still learning it.
Thank you again for your time and assistance.
Thanks for our feedback. I suggest that you create your own theme here gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/waybar/themes?ref_type=heads and copy the default theme and start your own experiments. gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/waybar?ref_type=heads With 2.6.1 I will provide a better starting point for custom waybar themes. Issue is already created: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/issues/95 If it's implemented in the rolling release you can use it already.
Thank you for the very concise instructions, Stephan. This is by far the best script I have tried.
Please, If there is any way to contribute or help with a wiki, Let me know!
If you have a Discord server, etc ... I would love to join 👍
Thanks for your feedback. I'll think about setting up a Discord. But not finally decided yet. Currently you can add an issue on my gitlab in case of questions.
Brother! Your script works beautifully! Everything runs quickly and without problems! I've been learning Linux for a year, and I'm very satisfied. Will you be transplanting your script to other distributions? Like Debian or Nix?
Thank you. I’m currently planning the next steps to bring it to others platforms.
Stephan - great work - once again. Runs on 2 devices and works perfectly. Thanks for that
2 ideas for 2.7? Scaling the tiling windows by mouse. And a config-menu for waybar - would that even be possible?
Thanks for your feature ideas. The waybar config is already on my backlog. Additionally to the already available themeswitcher, I’ll think about hiding modules and reorder on the fly. Is this what you have in mind as well? What do you mean with scaling tiling? You can already resize with right mouse and hold.
@@mylinuxforwork Damn thats it. Thanks :) thought this works only in floating mode...
@@mylinuxforwork For the config for Waybar: yes, a couple of modules as a set and the possibility of activating/deactivating via a menu. For example, I always hide the IP address on my desktop, I'm not interested in that. But I would always show weather information. And I always extend these shortcuts for program launches by a few or adapt them, as brave is my main browser. However, these are individual configurations that you make once during the initial installation. But simply showing or hiding modules would be cool.
This keeps getting better and better. I've always come back to this set of dotfiles because nothing else compares to them. Have you ever considered making your own Arch "remix" distro with all this preinstalled? I think the masses would love it.... Maybe even a Hyprland edition and a QTile edition for those that like either or. I'm about to install v2.6 from scratch since I've been "dotfiles" hopping to see what works for me, and only these do so far. A question though (not necessarily only for Stephan): if I have a huge repo of wallpapers in a folder, and I have two monitors, is there a way to have it automatically cycle through them? i.e. I set one wallpaper per display and it randomly chooses another at a set interval. I know macOS and Windows can do this, but what about Hyprland/Linux in general? Also I've used Void Linux in the past... I might try and alter the install script a bit to work with Void, though IDK about the stuff being pulled from the AUR... I might have to read up on that.
ANYWAY Stephan, let me know what you think of my "remix" distro idea. Thanks as always for awesome stuff like this!
Hi. Thanks so much for your feedback. Having distro incl. The dotfiles and Hyprland and Qtile preconfigured is indeed interesting. To do this I think the setup script needs to get a bit more features. To your wallpaper scenario. This is of course possible with a script running in a background trigger my wallpaper script after a defined amount of time. For one of the next version I will look into multi monitor support. Your idea is noted
Garuda Hyprland does that by default if I remember correctly
Really like your work, I have a question can I have you black blur top bar from hyprland on another desktop environment like gnome or KDE ?
Never tried this before because I’m not using Gnome or KDE on my production environment. But could work on the Wayland versions of both desktops.
Awesome theme, very well put together. A couple things, having the system tray module enabled in the waybar themes by default would be great. Enabling manually seems to break some of the styling, plus having to go and enable it for each theme for each update is going to be tedious, haha. And secondly, it seems like the install script didn't install all of the yay dependencies properly. The packages were downloaded, they compiled, but they did not install. I had to manually go and reinstall each of them. I am using the latest commit installed as of an hour or two of this post. A post further down mentioned the wallpaper not working, mine was the same thing out of the gate, because swww didn't install. Once I manually installed it, the wallpaper worked fine.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will add your ideas for improvements as issues on GitLab. The systray will need some special css styling to fit into the layout. Can you tell me which dependencies haven't been installed? Any idea, why?
I super appreciate you taking my feedback into consideration, the systray is really the main feature I feel this theme is lacking. As I have to keep apps such as Webcord(a custom build of discord) open on its own workspace as if I close it, and relaunch it, it doesn't reopen and will start a new instance instead. So other applications that follow that behavior are a bit of an issue for me. It seemed like almost anything that was downloaded through the AUR did not install with your installation script. And after reading other comments mentioning wallpaper issues and the like, I am going to assume it has something to do with how your install script interacts with Yay. It did seem to run through its tasks pretty quickly, so perhaps adding a wait condition could help. There is a chance the script is just executing too fast. I have really not seen a situation where a Yay package will compile and then just not install, you ask for authentication at the start so I can't see that being an issue either. That is really all the insight i can offer as I am also terrible at bash scripting, so you are probably much more knowledgeable in that regard than I am. Regardless, thank you for your efforts, Have a wonderful holiday. @@mylinuxforwork
@@Nderlyn I will definitely test the integration of the systray into the default configuration of the dotfiles. I have just updated the installation script in dotfiles 2.7RC5 You can now force the reinstallation of all packages. This can fix problems. Give it a try and maybe you can share your results?
@@Nderlyn Hi. I have just pushed an update of my dotfiles to Gitlab. All ML4W Waybar themes now support the systray. By default it’s visible but can be hidden in the settings script if needed. Do you have a chance to test it on your system? Just update with the install.sh script shipped with dotfiles 2.7RC5
@@mylinuxforwork Hey, sorry for the late reply, I was out of town for the holidays, I will be back in the next day or two and I can test it out then. I'll use a different system that does not already have all the packages installed as well so I can test that the AUR installations work as intended. Thanks for your efforts!
It would be very helpful if you could add a keyboard layout language indicator to waybar in your next version.
Hi. That makes sense. Issue created: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/issues/113
Hi! the other day i encountered a problem with swayidle. If you are planning on watching a movie or something it keeps on locking the screen. It is possible to use sway-audio-idle-inhibit to detect if something is playing and start stop it automatically (exec-once in autostart should do the trick). A waybar module can also be made to show when this state is toggled on.
Will check if sway-idle-audio-idle-inhibit is working. But I have published yesterday a new version with an ON OFF toggle in Waybar. Use it already during my Video Conferences.
¡Increíble trabajo, felicitaciones! ¿Qué archivo debo modificar para activar/desactivar los módulos de la waybar? Saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina. (Intentaré traducirlo al inglés. | I will try to translate this to the english languaje).
Incredible work, congrats! What archive should I edit to activate/deactivate each waybar module? Regards from Córdoba, Argentina. (Sorry for my poor english level)
Thank you. Please copy one of the waybar themes and create your own gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/waybar?ref_type=heads then you can deactivate modules in config. The next dotfiles version will include more waybar settings.
Ioved it already ❤ but the hyprland installation iş like a mass. Do you have a suggestion especially on debian base system?
Hi. Never tried Debian. But It’s planned…
@@mylinuxforwork thank you
Hello, I have installed your hypr setup and ils fine, I just got one issue, and it is that there is a blank screen and no walloaper, i edited some stuff according to my screen resolution but ... hopefully im gonna get an answer, thanks
Do you see waybar on top? And is rofi showing up when you click on Apps?
I really like your setup, and I'm using it with my desktop setup. On my Laptop I installed Garuda Hyprland Edition and they managed to integrate NetworkManagerApplet by click on the Network Icon. That really helps with VPN integration. Would be nice to see it in your config! Can I install your dotfiles over the original setup without breaking anything? Or just install your qtile parts besides the original Hyprland config? Are there files for both (Hyprland and qtile) configs that interfere?
I will check the integration of the network manager applet.
Thank you, for your work! @@mylinuxforwork
Nice!! Will updating from your most recent previous version cause any data loss? Such as my own customizations, programs added , and desktop backgrounds added? Thanks!
It’s posdible that customization will be overwritten if you have changed core files. Additional files like own waybar templates or own variations will remain. Please check the new settings script. You can create custom variations of hyprland configuration sections and select it with settings. These will not overwritten in upcoming versions.
I selected the original theme of waybar and now can't access any of the tools on the waybar because the old one is there. No way to turn off computer or get away from the original waybar. Kind of in a bad spot. Can you offer any help?
Fixed it. Looked up the key bind. Cheers.
Loving hyprland so far with the help of your vids
Only thing i would love is having the workspace numbers in waybar's taskbar. I get confused over where i left which windows. Would love some pointers if anyone knows
The numbers are available. See the screenshots on my GitLab. Does it look different on your side?
@@mylinuxforwork isn't that the workspaces numbers? my issue is that i forget which workspace i put firefox on, for example
@@archip8021 understood. But that’s not possible with waybar.
CONGRATULATIONS Thanks for this! I loved the 'rsync double checked' haha I did something a bit different I copied my init.vim into your source so I could keep my setup. I always had to restore it otherwise. I use 'leafvim' with neovim. I have a heavily modified .bashrc as well. I am going to add local file and get your .bashrc to source it for all my aliases and defined functions
I REALLY like how you redid they keybindings file. Adding commented sections.
Re: Virtual machines. In the environments.conf file I noticed that your removed the commented out source command for when running in a VM. Maybe add that back ?
I would also suggest a check for in VM or ask if this is a VM during install to enable those settings.?
Amazing work.
Thank you so much. With the double check for rsync I really wanted to be on the safe side. For VMs you can now choose the kvm variation in settings under environments. This will bring in back the environment variables and can be restored after running the install script again.
@@mylinuxforwork For some reason in this updated build I don't have the icon for the settings anymore.
I love the Hyprland configuration, I'm using it actively, sadly the Qtile one is not working (I only enter in the minimal black shell) and can´t figure what setting is wrong.
Thank you. Great that Hyprland is working. How do you start Qtile.
Having issues on a fresh install following some of your guides added it to GitLab issues FYI number 96 hope it helps.
Thanks for testing. Will look into the issue.
UPDATE: Mouse cursors are back. It was either an extra xdg-portal in conflict or a missing line from my previous config. All is great now
Thanks for updating this. I was running an earlier version and after updating my mouse cursor seems to have gone missing. I can move the mouse around but nothing is showing up. If you have any ideas on where I should start troubleshooting I'd appreciate it.
This is crazy. Have you installed the dotfiles in a VM?
@@mylinuxforwork no, it was on my regular endeavorOS install.
I wound up getting the cursor back. I tried a few things so I’m not sure which was the fix
1. There was an extra xdg-desktop-portal-x installed that I removed
2. There were some config lines about a hardware mouse in my config that didn’t make it back in from the update
3. Changed the cursor type from ice to classic
After all those went in and I rebooted everything is back to operational
So, bug report: @My Linux For Work I know you said you'd look into multi-monitor support, but I tested it out anyway, and no matter what I do I cannot get it working with more than one display on v2.6. On v2.5 and before I could set the monitor coordinates and put them into monitors.conf and I'd be good to go... I might revert to v2.5 until 2.6+ supports what I'd like to do. Thanks again though for an awesome emerging desktop experience!
EDIT: I ended up reverting to v2.5 for now and I can indeed take advantage of more than one display. I'll be downsizing from 4 displays to just 2 tomorrow, but until then I'll use all 4 of them.
Hi. You can create a variation for your setup in conf/monitors and select it with the settings script. Then you can check your monitor settings with wlr-randr (should be installed with 2.6) Then you can get the monitor names. You probably now the page on Hyprland wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Monitors/ Would be great if you could try again and send me your result via email, gitlab issue or as a comment. Thank you.
@@mylinuxforwork alright.. Will do later today... Thanks again :)
Unfortunately, on a VM running in Proxmox, there are issues after the installation for Xorg and Wayland....unfortunately, I am not able to solve them. Maybe if you have some suggestions what configurations can be tweaked for a VM, that would be nice. Neither journalctl or Xorg.0.log show some severe problems but the Xorg sessions is mega slow - for each click I wait 5 minutes. On Wayland there graphics are flickering all over the place and it is unusable. Otherwise, this is by far the best channel for Arch customizations! Please, keep up with your impeccable job.
Hi. Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately I am not a Proxmox user (yet). I hope you find a solution. If yes, please share it.
Very good work! Is there any theme for GTK and QT implemented.
I possibly move in the future from KDE to Hyprland (or use both) but when it works better on NVIDIA and Wayland improve and be more stable.
Hyprland in addition to KDE is a very good choice because sddm supports Hyprland. And you can always jump between both.
@@mylinuxforwork Right now with NVIDIA hyprland can't open from sddm some issue keeps a black screen. And I think there is a problem with xorg apps that works on X11 but not on Wayland, I don't exactly if the order of installation affect like installing first on KDE and then on Hyprland.
@@CompuB1t sorry that I cannot help in this case. Keep testing.
@@mylinuxforworkdon't worry, thanks. Keep with your great work.

hello, how i can reduce the height of the bar? good config btw
Thank you. The height of waybar depends mainly of the height of the shown modules. I suggest that you create your own theme here gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/waybar/themes?ref_type=heads and copy the default theme and start your own experiments. with 2.6.1 I will provide a better starting point for custom waybar themes.

Any advantage in using hyprland-git over the standard hyprland?
That is difficult to answer. Normally I would suggest using hyprland but in case of issues you can try hyprland-git . If you’re using many independent packages and projects at the same time, sometimes not everything is compatible from the beginning.

Sorry that I cannot help you with this right now. I will cover multi monitor setups in upcoming videos.
Could we add a feature where it displays on the waybar that the mic or camera is being used?
Thanks for your comment. I will look into it.
Amazing work! Could you port it to fedora?
Thanks. Let’s see… First need to understand how to install it in a base configuration to fedora.
Is there a way to give names like "Web", "Coding" etc. to the workspaces because 1,2,3,4,5 is boring? Awesome config btw.
Great request. Maybe something for the new settings manager?! By now you can create an own personal theme and stral the code from the default waybar theme: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/waybar/themes/default/config?ref_type=heads There is a commented section where you can add icons or text.
Is there any solution to making the pywal theme on the terminal persistent? Currently, it only applies to open terminals. If it's not possible then I guess don't worry about it.
Hi. Not sure what you mean with persistent? You mean getting back the same color scheme after a reboot? The wallpaper is persistent and the colors should be always very close to the previous session.
@@mylinuxforwork If you launch a new terminal after pywal applies via swww, the theme, it has the default theme till you relaunch pywall via sww, and so on

Can you make a way to install dotfiles/hyprland and nvidia driver?
Yeah. That's planned.
wie kann ich applets von der waybar entfernen, zum Beispiel benötige ich das Bluetooth nicht
Hi. Öffne das entsprechende Theme in waybar/themes under entferne den Eintrag in config.
How to change the editor from vim? I’m never going to bother learning vim so just want to use nano but when editing .dotfiles from inside your welcome app. I tried changing it in bashrc but it didn’t do anything.
Yeah. That’s correct. In the settings app, vim is the internal editor. But you can edit the files also directly in the dotfiles folder with nano here: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/hypr/conf?ref_type=heads
@@mylinuxforworkso I can’t change the internal editor of the settings app but can browse and open with nano the standard way? Shame I really liked the settings app. Just beginner problems.
@@DamagedDingo let me check. Maybe something for the next update.
@@mylinuxforworkthat’s ok, I can clone and edit the files from my window box first.
Lots of beginner stuff to work out still, like turning off my laptop screen when connecting an external screen, and disabling the power saving Lock Screen that breaks down loads. But this is all just beginner stuff that I need to work out. Your dot files get me 80% the way there and has a great foundation to build on with the way it’s formatted. Especially with the way I can just copy/edit using your scripts.
First I need bottles, then qemu, then I’ll loop back to making custom way bar themes. Gonna take a while but should be fun.
How do i change keyboead from german to english-utf-8
You can update the keyboard layout here: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/conf/keyboard.conf?ref_type=heads if you're using Hyprland.
Great dotfiles as always but my wallpaper wont change and just stay as a black screen any idea as to how I can fix it?
again thanks for the awesome work!!
EDIT: swww was not initialised not sure why but i fixed it
Great. Thanks for the feedback.
@@mylinuxforwork i have the same problem, it still persists.
I have 2 animated gifs in the wallpaper directory, same resolution, but one I am unable to switch to using your keybindings. Doing it manually with swww img isnt working either, any ideas?
Hi, my dotfiles currently only support JPGs. But will be extended to PNG soon. Don’t believe that swww supports animated Gifs.
@@mylinuxforwork I see I see. On the SWWW github it says:
"Efficient animated wallpaper daemon for wayland, controlled at runtime", and then a bit down:
"
Display animated gifs on your desktop
Display any image in the formats:
jpeg
png
gif
pnm
tga
tiff
webp
bmp
farbfeld
Clear the screen with an arbitrary rrggbb color
Smooth transition effect when you switch images
Do all of that without having to shutdown and reinitialize the daemon
"
Is there something I'm missing maybe? Thank you for the reply :)
@@swedishmeatball705 Hi. Can you try to switch your wallpaper manually? swww img pathtoyourgif
@@mylinuxforwork Sorry for the late reply. No, that does not work. I have tried setting it manually with a fresh arch linux hyprland install and there is still trouble, so seems like an issue with swww itself I guess
@@swedishmeatball705 Can you try again with the latest version of my dotfiles?
Podría hacer un vídeo con instalación y configuración qtile en archlinux de 0
Buenos videos
Will release very soon a qtile-starter script that simplifies the installation of Qtile.
Is it possible for Endeavouros?
Yes. It's working with it.
How I change the wallpaper and make default
Hi. Click on the wallpaper icon on the left side of waybar or SUPER+SHIFT+W or SUPER+CTRL+W
super, only caveat doesn't work with Nvidia. Can you include to install Nvidia dams with it
Will check for nvidia later this year or beginning of next year.
Looks awesome, simple, elegant & beautiful, but I have a question, I have freshly installed endeavour os with no desktop & I only want to use this hyprland setup as primary, how can I? Please help me. Thank you for your awesome work anyway. & also one more thing, it was asking me for username password while I tried git clone the repo , Idk why
Thanks for your feedback. To install the dotfiles you just need to follow the installation instructions on my gitlab page. Which url are you using to clone the repo?
@@mylinuxforwork Okay so I successfully installed it but I have some questions & issues like how to reduce the display brightness, how to change screenshot shortcut & enable sddm login screen on system startup & bluetooth says stopped working.
@@sanjunandi1627 Great. There is a keybinding to a FN key to reduce the brightness, screenshot shortcut can be changed in conf/keybindings. I suggest that you copy the default.conf and create your own keybindings in an own variation. Then you can select your keybinding in the settings script. The wheel icon in waybar. You can enable sddm whenever you like just by following the Arch Linux wiki. There should be also information available about the Bluetooth setup.
@@mylinuxforwork Ah linux is like testing & fixing staff, thanks for the preconfigured script, you have already saved our time , for the rest I think we should fix it by ourself 🙂
Just following this video to try out hyperland. Following this channel for so long. After install i am facing some problem. I tried this script v2.6.install on fresh manjaro but afte rebooting my system my pc got stuck on loading screen of manjaro. Any solution for this brother. By the way i try to isntall hyperland only
Hi. Have you an NVIDIA GPU?
Hello, I have 2 small problems, I installed version 2.6 based on Manjaro, my first problem is with Bluetooth, when I connect my headphones, they go into a connect and disconnect loop, the next problem is that I cannot use redshift for the filter of light, if you could help me, thank you very much
Thanks for your feedback. Can you try to install 2.7.1 and test again? What is your base distro?
@@mylinuxforwork
Thanks for responding
I just installed 2.7.1 and reinstalled everything about Bluetooth, I still have the problem, my headphones connect and disconnect or they show as connected but you can't hear
As a base distro I have manjaro kde minimal
@@rudypacheco1500 is it working in KDE?
@@mylinuxforwork Yes, in kde it does work
@@rudypacheco1500 Difficult. Which apps are you using in KDE to connect?
Where are screenshots stored?file location pls
Please check Pictures/screenshots But you need to click on save in swappy.
thankyou,it's now working perfectly .@@mylinuxforwork
Where are you hiding the clock 12h format?
Hi. You can change it here. Line 203 gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/waybar/modules.json?ref_type=heads But you highlighted a very goid point. Will add clock format to the settings.
Edit again: I just needed to add the : before %I in this "format": "{%I:%M %p}"
so now the module looks like below and works correctly...syntax smh
// Clock
"clock": {
"format": "{:%I:%M %p}",
//"timezone": "America/New_York",
"tooltip-format": "{:%Y %B}
{calendar}",
"format-alt": "{:%Y-%m-%d}"
},
Original:
Thanks. That's what I thought but I can't find what is telling it to format it to 24h currently. If if I just add the code to format what I want it to display the bar doesn't display at all. So I figured I just need to find and change whatever is displaying the the 24h format already.
Or maybe I'm just over complicating and missing something.
Great. I will add this to the settings script for the next version to make it persistent after running an update @@chrism7397
ive installed the dot files, everything works fine except the wallpapers
Hi. Does the wallpaper folder exists in your home directory and can you run wal -i pathtoanimageinwallpaper
Yes but still not working
@@jayeshshinde4628 Can you try to press SUPER+SHIFT+W
Stepahn, great work again. But I hit a snag when I use your scripts. After install I couldn't configure network, I could open pictures by using apps other than browsers to and I couldn't mount a usb drive to the thunar FM. Please I need help ASAP. Thanks!
Hi. Network should run out of the box. Wireless network can be started with command nmtui . For Thunar automount please install gvfs.
And try this:
Edit->preferences
Check "Enable Volume Management"
Hit "Configure"
Check "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged"
Inserted the drive.
Hope this helps.
Is it me or the mouse pointer is upside down? 🤔
😀 This happens after the installation in a VM. But can be fixed my selection the environment kvm.conf in the settings script, shutdown the VM (not reboot) and start again. But the mouse is lagging in a VM on Hyprland, but for testing it’s acceptable.
Please bring support to nixos
Let's see. I'll think about it.
Hey stephan can you please change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in ~/.config/waybar/launch.sh. Sometimes the waybar ain't loading.
That‘s a great feedback. Will do.
