## UWSM
|
|
|
|
- [Universal Wayland Session Manager](https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/uwsm) is a recommended way to start Hyprland session on systemd distros. uwsm wraps standalone Wayland compositors into a set of Systemd units and provides robust session management including environment, XDG autostart support, bi-directional binding with login session, and clean shutdown.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
uwsm is available in AUR. You can install it either with an AUR helper, or build PKGBUILD manually. Here's an example for yay.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yay -S uwsm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% /details %}}
|
|
|
|
{{% details title="Nix/NixOS" closed="true" %}}
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
programs.uwsm = {
|
|
enable = true;
|
|
waylandCompositors.hyprland = {
|
|
binPath = "/run/current-system/sw/bin/Hyprland";
|
|
comment = "Hyprland session managed by uwsm";
|
|
prettyName = "Hyprland";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above option generates a new desktop entry, `hyprland-uwsm.desktop`, which will be available in display managers.
|
|
|
|
For more info, read the [option](https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&show=programs.uwsm.enable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=uwsm).
|
|
|
|
{{< callout >}}
|
|
|
|
If you use the [Home Manager module](../../Nix/Hyprland-on-Home-Manager), make sure to disable the systemd integration, as it conflicts with uwsm.
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
wayland.windowManager.hyprland.systemd.enable = false;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% /details %}}
|
|
|
|
{{< callout type=info >}}
|
|
|
|
For instructions for other distros and manual building, see [building and installing](https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/uwsm?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) section on the project's page.

## Launching Hyprland with uwsm
|
|
|
|
{{< callout type=info >}}
|
|
|
|
Pay attention to the warnings in [Environment variables](../../Environment-variables#xdg-specifications) and [Dispatchers](../../Dispatchers) sections.
|
|
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
### In tty
|
|
|
|
To launch Hyprland with uwsm, add this code in your shell profile.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if uwsm check may-start && uwsm select; then
|
|
exec systemd-cat -t uwsm_start uwsm start default
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will bring uwsm compositor selection menu after you log in tty1. Choose Hyprland entry and you're good to go.
|
|
|
|
If you want to bypass compositor selection menu and launch Hyprland directly, use this code in your shell profile, instead.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if uwsm check may-start; then
|
|
exec uwsm start hyprland.desktop
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using a display manager
|
|
|
|
If you use a display manager, choose `hyprland (uwsm-managed)` entry in a display manager selection menu.
|
|
|
|
## Launching applications inside session
|
|
|
|
The concept of a session managed by Systemd implies also running applications as units. Uwsm [provides](https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/uwsm#3-applications-and-slices) a helper to do it.
|
|
|
|
Prefix application startup commands with `uwsm app --`. It also supports launching Desktop Entries by IDs or paths. See `man uwsm` or `uwsm app --help`.
|
|
|
|
Examples for autostart and bind entries:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
exec-once = uwsm app -- mycommand --arg1 --arg2
|
|
bind = SUPER, E, exec, uwsm app -- pcmanfm-qt.desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running applications as child processes inside compositor's unit is discouraged.
