After you've installed Hyprland, you can either launch it from a TTY with
|
|
`Hyprland` or from a login manager. Although login managers aren't officially
|
|
supported, I recommend `SDDM`, as it's been working flawlessly with wayland
|
|
compositors.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended you have `kitty` for terminal access, (example and
|
|
autogenerated configs have it bound to <kbd>SUPER</kbd> + <kbd>Q</kbd>).
|
|
Alternatively, manually change it in the config before launching Hyprland.
|
|
|
|
If you have an Nvidia card, please also take a look at
|
|
[The Nvidia page](../../Nvidia) before launching. You should **first** make a
|
|
wrapper, as described in the section below, then follow the instructions from
|
|
the Nvidia page, and then continue on with sections below.
|
|
|
|
## Wrapping the launcher (recommended)
|
|
|
|
With Xorg, you get the `.xinitrc`. With Hyprland, you can create your own...
|
|
kind of.
|
|
|
|
Make an executable file somewhere in your `PATH`, for example `~/.local/bin/`,
|
|
called (for example) `wrappedhl`
|
|
|
|
In it, put:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
cd ~
|
|
|
|
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
|
|
export XCURSOR_SIZE=24
|
|
|
|
exec Hyprland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can add as many exported envvars as you need (Nvidia users might need a
|
|
lot), but I recommend having *at least* the shown two.
|
|
|
|
You should now launch Hyprland with `wrappedhl` instead of `Hyprland`. Make sure
|
|
to edit your `.desktop` file in `/usr/share/wayland-sessions/` if you use a
|
|
login manager! You might need to put the full path in it, as login managers are
|
|
usually not ran through the user account.
|
|
|
|
## Immediate
|
|
|
|
**OMG MY SCREEN IS BROKEN, FLASHY TEARY!** -> see the bottom of this page
|
|
|
|
Once you log in, you'll be greeted with a yellow warning that will give you some
|
|
basic keybind info of your pregenerated config.
|
|
|
|
I recommend you use the config provided in `examples/hyprland.conf` though.
|
|
|
|
Paste it into `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
|
|
|
|
You can, of course, start from the pregenerated config if you wish to. If you
|
|
want the warning to go away, remove the `autogenerated=1` line.
|
|
|
|
## Monitors
|
|
|
|
Use `hyprctl monitors` to list available outputs.
|
|
|
|
Then, you can configure your outputs with
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hyprctl keyword monitor NAME,RES@HZ,OFFSET,SCALE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`NAME` is the name of the display, e.g. `DP-1`. Can be empty for a global rule.
|
|
|
|
`RES@HZ` is the resolution and refresh rate, e.g. `1920x1080@144`. Can be
|
|
`preferred` for auto-detection.
|
|
|
|
`OFFSET` is the position of the monitor, e.g. `0x0`. Can be `auto` to
|
|
automatically add it to the right of the viewport.
|
|
|
|
`SCALE` is the display scale, e.g. `1`
|
|
|
|
example command:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3,1920x1080@240,1920x0,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< hint type=important >}} These changes are **not** permanent! If you want to
|
|
make those changes persist, configure your outputs in the config! {{< /hint >}}
|
|

|
# Proper configuring
|
|
|
|
Head onto the
|
|
[Configuring Hyprland page](../../Configuring/Configuring-Hyprland) to learn all
|
|
about configuring Hyprland to your likings.
|

# Apps / X11 replacements

|
See the [Useful Utilities page](../../Useful-Utilities) and the
|
|
[Sway wiki page](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway)
|
|
just about that.
|
|
|
|
# Screen broken on launch
|
|
|
|
This usually happens due to your monitor not being very happy about the default
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
You can get your monitor's name(s) from the TTY.
|
|
|
|
Exit hyprland, and then:
|
|
|
|
- `cat /tmp/hypr/$(ls -t /tmp/hypr | head -n 1)/hyprland.log | grep monitor`
|
|
will give you a bunch of logs about the connected monitors. Names like `DP-x`
|
|
or `HDMI-x` etc are your monitor names.
|
|
- edit `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
|
|
- replace the `monitor=` line with `monitor=NAME,RES@Hz,OFFSET,SCALE`, for
|
|
example `monitor=DP-1,1920x1080@60,0x0,1` (See [Monitors](#monitors) for more
|
|
info about the values). You can also add multiple of those for multi-monitor
|
|
setups.
|
|
|
|
After this, upon launching Hyprland again, everything should be fine, provided
|
|
you set an appropriate mode for your monitors.
