Everything needed to build and debug Hyprland is included inside the provided
`devShell`.
To use it in the cloned repo, simply run `nix develop`.
## Build in debug mode
A debug build is already provided through
`hyprland.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.hyprland-debug`.
## Bisecting an issue
Follow the
[Bisecting an issue](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Crashes-and-Bugs/#bisecting-an-issue)
guide. To build, run `nix build '.?submodules=1'`.
To view logs, pass the `--print-build-logs` (`-L`) flag.
To keep a failed build directory, pass the `--keep-failed` flag.
## Building the Wayland stack with ASan
Run `nix develop` first, then follow the
[Building with ASan](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Crashes-and-Bugs/#bisecting-an-issue)
guide.
## Manual building
Nix works differently than other build systems, so it has its own abstractions
over popular build systems such as Meson, CMake and Ninja.
In order to manually build Hyprland, you can run the following commands, while
in the `nix develop` shell.
For CMake:
```bash
$ cmakeConfigurePhase # to run the CMake configure phase
$ ninjaBuildPhase # to run the Ninja build phase
$ ninjaInstallPhase # to run the Ninja install phase
```
For Meson:
```bash
$ mesonConfigurePhase # to run the Meson configure phase
$ ninjaBuildPhase # to run the Ninja build phase
$ mesonInstallPhase # to run the Meson install phase
```

title: Plugins
---
Hyprland plugins are managed differently on Nix than on other distros. The most
notable change is that `hyprpm` is unsupported, but we have our own way of
building plugins.
## Using plugins from Nixpkgs
In Nixpkgs, there are Hyprland plugins packaged for the Hyprland version in
Nixpkgs. You can use them like this:
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: {
wayland.windowManager.hyprland.plugins = [
pkgs.hyprlandPlugins.<plugin>
];
}
```
You can find which plugins are included using
`nix search nixpkgs#hyprlandPlugins`.
## hyprland-plugins
Official plugins made/maintained by vaxry.
To use these plugins, it is recommended that you are already using the Hyprland
flake, and **not** the Nixpkgs version.
First, add the flake to your flake inputs:
```nix
{
inputs = {
hyprland.url = "git+https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland?submodules=1";
hyprland-plugins = {
url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins";
inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland";
};
# ...
}
}
```
The `inputs.hyprland.follows` line makes hyprland-plugins use the exact Hyprland
revision you have locked. This means there aren't any version mismatches, as
long as you update both inputs at once.
The next step is adding the plugins to Hyprland:
```nix
{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
wayland.windowManager.hyprland = {
enable = true;
plugins = [
inputs.hyprland-plugins.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.<plugin>
];
};
}
```
## Building plugins with Nix
The plugins inside Nixpkgs, as well as the ones in `hyprland-plugins`, are built
using a general function, `mkHyprlandPlugin`. Any plugin can be made to work
with it. The general usage is presented below, exemplified through hy3's
derivation:
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: {
hy3 = pkgs.callPackage ({
lib,
fetchFromGitHub,
cmake,
hyprland,
hyprlandPlugins,
}:
hyprlandPlugins.mkHyprlandPlugin pkgs.hyprland {
pluginName = "hy3";
version = "0.39.1";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "outfoxxed";
repo = "hy3";
rev = "hl0.39.1";
hash = "sha256-PqVld+oFziSt7VZTNBomPyboaMEAIkerPQFwNJL/Wjw=";
};
# any nativeBuildInputs required for the plugin
nativeBuildInputs = [cmake];
# set any buildInputs that are not already included in Hyprland
# by default, Hyprland and its dependencies are included
buildInputs = [];
meta = {
homepage = "https://github.com/outfoxxed/hy3";
description = "Hyprland plugin for an i3 / sway like manual tiling layout";
license = lib.licenses.gpl3;
platforms = lib.platforms.linux;
maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [aacebedo];
};
});
}
```
In a similar manner to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, `mkHyprlandPlugin` takes an
attrset with mostly the same options as `mkDerivation`, as it is essentially a
wrapper around it.
The exception is that it also takes a `hyprland` package before the attrset, in
case you want to build with a different package than the one in Nixpkgs.
This is not always the best way to build for a different version, and it is
recommended that you use an overlay to apply your desired Hyprland package in
Nixpkgs instead.

likely be the case for
[older cards](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Unsupported_drivers).
## How to get Hyprland to possibly run on Nvidia (Proprietary)
Install the correct headers package for your current kernel. For the example of
the `linux-zen` kernel on Arch Linux, this package would be `linux-zen-headers`.
Install the required nvidia packages. For most cases, this would be `nvidia-dkms`
(or `nvidia-open-dkms` for the open source ones),
and `nvidia-utils`. If you'd like to game via Wine or even natively, it would be
in your best interest to also install `lib32-nvidia-utils`.
{{< callout >}}
Even if your GPU is listed as supported by the `nvidia-open-dkms` driver, at this
point in time, it is still not up to feature parity with the current closed source drivers.
One issue with the open drivers is that it could cause problems with suspend in
general, let that be closing the lid on your laptop or by manually triggering one.
Overall, you'd be better off with `nvidia-dkms` right now, but Hyprland should work
similarly between the two.
The `nvidia-open` drivers are still not up to feature parity with the proprietary drivers.
One issue is with [suspend](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/472) (e.g. closing the lid on your laptop).
{{< /callout >}}
Take care to also install `egl-wayland` (`libnvidia-egl-wayland1` and
`libnvidia-egl-gbm1` on Ubuntu) if you are using the proprietary drivers.
It provides the necessary compatibility layer, instead of falling back to
zink/Vulkan.
# Proprietary drivers setup
Next up, you need to enable modeset for nvidia, this can be done via editing
the kernel paramaters for your bootloader.
You can choose between the `nvidia` or the `nvidia-dkms` package. There are pros and cons
for each, but it is generally recommended to use the `dkms` package,
as you won't have to rebuild the initramfs [manually](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#mkinitcpio) every time the kernel and drivers update, for example.
If you're using a kernel that isn't `linux` or `linux-lts`, the `dkms` package is *required*.
If you use [systemd-boot](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot)
you can do this adding `nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to the end of
`/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf`. If you use
[grub](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB) you can do this by adding
`nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to the end of `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=` in
`/etc/default/grub`, then running `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.
## Installation
For others check out
[kernel parameters](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters) and how
to add `nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to your specific bootloader.
Install the following packages:
{{< callout >}}
1. `nvidia` or `nvidia-dkms`: The driver itself. Optionally, the open source drivers
from NVIDIA can be installed as `nvidia-open` or `nvidia-open-dkms`.
2. `nvidia-utils`: The userspace graphics drivers. You need this for running Vulkan
applications. If you'd like to use apps like Steam or Wine, install `lib32-nvidia-utils` as well.
3. `egl-wayland` (`libnvidia-egl-wayland1` and `libnvidia-egl-gbm1` on Ubuntu): This is required
in order to enable compatibility between the EGL API and the Wayland protocol.
There has been a lot of debate on which of `nvidia_drm` or `nvidia-drm`
is correct for this kernel parameter. It has been confirmed that either
of these will work.
## DRM kernel mode setting
{{< /callout >}}
Since NVIDIA does not load kernel mode setting by default, enabling it is
required to make Wayland compositors function properly. To enable it, the NVIDIA
driver modules need to be added to the initramfs.
in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` add `nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm` to
your `MODULES`
Edit `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`. In the `MODULES` array, add the following module names:
For example, a clean `MODULES` line would now look like this:
```sh
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
```ini
MODULES=(... nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm ...)
```
Now, run `sudo mkinitcpio -P`. This will regenerate the initcpios for all kernels
currently installed on the system. If you see any errors here about missing
nvidia modules, it is highly probable that you forgot to install the correct
headers package. Make sure you install the headers package for your kernel and
run this command again.
Then, create and edit `/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf`. Add this line to the file:
More information is available here:
[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting)
```ini
options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
```
Export these variables in your hyprland config:
Lastly, rebuild the initramfs with `sudo mkinitcpio -P`, and reboot.

### Fixing flickering in XWayland games specifically
### Flickering in XWayland games
The symptoms of this widespread issue include XWayland games flickering in
a way which makes them unplayable. Repeated frames, random presenting of
black frames, and overall weirdness. This is a result of a multitude of
issues which will be solved soon via Nvidia driver updates, but for now
you have a few possible fixes:
XWayland games may flicker or present frames out-of-order in a way which makes them unplayable.
This is due to the lack of explicit synchronization in the driver.
- Install xorg-xwayland-git (AUR). This git package includes this [PR](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967)
which implements the "Explicit Sync" protocol.
This will fix it in some, if not all cases. However if it doesn't,
try the next solution. Once the 555 series of drivers are released, this
should completely fix the issue.
There are a few fixes:
- Install older nvidia drivers which do not exhibit this problem. The
1. Install the latest versions of `xorg-xwayland` and `wayland-protocols`.
Ensure `xorg-xwayland` is at least version 24.1 and `wayland-protocols` is at least version 1.34.
Both versions include the explicit sync patches.
2. Install the older Nvidia drivers which do not exhibit this issue. The
last ones which would work will be the 535xx series of drivers. These
can be installed easily on Arch via [these AUR packages](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=535xx)
can be installed on Arch via [these AUR packages](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=535xx)
3. Install the 555 beta driver. This version contains official support for explicit sync, but is still in beta.
These can be installed from the
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&SeB=nd&K=nvidia+beta&outdated=off&SB=p&SO=d&PP=50&submit=Go).
