Add/remove software and partition manager do not launch from garuda-welcome

I just installed the hyprland edition 230929 on an intel laptop. Overall congrats for an awesome install experience and overall functionality!

I noticed that in the garuda-welcome app the following don’t work:

  • add/remove software causes the welcome to briefly flicker but nothing starts
  • partition manager causes a prompt for the root password but then garuda-welcome shows up again

Thanks for the note, since we no longer ship pamac with the DE’s we have yet to remove it from garuda-welcome. :slight_smile:

There are problems with Wayland, if I’m not mistaken.

Just start it in the terminal

sudo -E gparted

We recommend Hyprland only for experienced users, it may break down more often.

Breakage is OK, I’m just flagging it…

Fixed in this MR:


I was going to take a look at this too, but it appears someone already beat me to it. :wink:

I’m facing the same issue with Gardua Boot Options. Only way I can get it to launch is running sudo -E garuda-boot-options.

I couldn’t see a patch for this in the MR above. You guys having issues with boot options?

When I tested, launching Garuda Boot Options with /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-boot-options was working (this is the command Garuda Welcome uses). If that isn’t working, perhaps something is not right in your environment.

Are you logging in with the “Garuda Hyprland” profile on SDDM?

Yeah confirmed I am logged into Garuda Hyprland.

$ /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-boot-options

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

fish: Job 1, '/usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garu…' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

Edit:

I figured out why it wasn’t working. I made a mistake when I changed /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui and added QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE to the export WAYLAND_DISPLAY= line when it should have only been added to the while IFS= line.

I fixed my mistake here:

Next time you update garuda-libs (to 1.4.4) it should be working again. If you can take a look and confirm when you have a chance I would appreciate it. :slightly_smiling_face:

I also added QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to the environment variables that get preserved in case someone is not using QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE, so it was good to take another look anyway.
