# Getting the log
If you are in a TTY, and the hyprland session that crashed was the last one you
launched, the log will be printed with
```sh
cat /tmp/hypr/$(ls -t /tmp/hypr/ | head -n 1)/hyprland.log
```
feel free to save it to a file, save, copy, etc.
if you are in a Hyprland session, and you want the log of the last session, use
```sh
cat /tmp/hypr/$(ls -t /tmp/hypr/ | head -n 2 | tail -n 1)/hyprland.log
```
# Crashes at launch
Diagnose the issue by what is in the log:
- `sWLRBackend was NULL!` -> launch in the TTY and refer to the wlr logs in RED.
- `Monitor X has NO PREFERRED MODE, and an INVALID one was requested` -> your
monitor is bork.
- Other -> see the coredump. Use `coredumpctl`, find the latest one's PID and do
`coredumpctl info PID`.
- failing on a driver (e.g. `radeon`) -> try compiling with
`make legacyrenderer`, if that doesn't help, report an issue.
- failing on `wlr-xxx` -> try compiling with `make legacyrenderer`, if that
doesn't help, report an issue, and also refer to the TTY wlr logs in RED like
in the first point.
- failing on `Hyprland` -> report an issue.

# Building the Wayland stack with ASan
If requested, this is the deepest level of memory issue debugging possible.
Prepare yourself mentally, and then:
recommended to do in tty
clone wayland (`git clone --recursive https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland`)
clone hyprland (`git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland`)
add these envs to your Hyprland config to reset ASAN_OPTIONS for children and set LD_PRELOAD:
```
env = ASAN_OPTIONS,detect_odr_violation=0
env = LD_PRELOAD,/usr/lib/libasan.so.8.0.0
```
_Please note to check the asan .so version on your system with `ls /usr/lib | grep libasan`_
wayland:
```
meson ./build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=debug -Db_sanitize=address
sudo ninja -C build install
```
The Wayland build will likely fail citing missing dependencies such as Doxygen, these
dependencies will likely be available from your distros package manager.
hyprland:
```
cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DWITH_ASAN:STRING=True -S . -B ./build -G Ninja
cmake --build ./build --config Debug --target all -j`nproc 2>/dev/null || getconf NPROCESSORS_CONF`
cd ./subprojects/wlroots
rm -rf ./build
meson ./build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=debug -Db_sanitize=address
ninja -C build
cd ../..
sudo make install
```
Exit Hyprland to a TTY, cd to the cloned hyprland, and launch it:
```
ASAN_OPTIONS="detect_odr_violation=0,log_path=asan.log" ./build/Hyprland -c ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
```
open your terminal
Do whatever you used to do in order to crash the compositor.
Please note many apps will refuse to launch. Notably complex applications, like e.g. browsers.
Once it crashes, go to `~` or `cwd` and look for `asan.log.XXXXX` files. Zip all and attach to the issue.
once you are done, to revert your horribleness of no app opening without the ld preload just go to the cloned wayland and do
```
sudo rm -rf ./build
meson ./build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
sudo ninja -C build install
```
To revert the changes to hyprland and wlroots, do inside the cloned hyprland:
```
make all && sudo make install
```
