Garuda Hyprland doesn't lock the screen and doesn't go sleep in idle

Hi.

My system does not lock the screen and does not go sleep/suspend mode.

In the waybar conf i did not change nothing.
After i realized that does not working i add this to the hyprland.conf

# Set Lock and Sleep
exec-once = ~/.config/hypr/scripts/sleep.sh

but still doesn’t go sleep or lock screen.

thank you.

Read that script. For that script to work you need swayidle swayidle(1) — Arch manual pages which is not installed by default. Install it. That command will put your system to sleep if no activity is going on for a set period of time.

To manually go to sleep you can use the nwg-drawer at top and click on suspend but you will notice that it doesn’t lock your screen you have to set appropriate systemd service files for that so that the system locks screen before going to sleep.

Read this archwiki article to understand how to setup sleep hooks, Power management - ArchWiki

here is mine suspend hook for locking screen before sleeping. I haven’t made any resume hook since I didn’t need it. Read archwiki to understand where to place it and how to enable it.

I tried just run

swaylock -f

this is locked the screen but i got a full white background, not the same what i get from the power menu. I am not a very advanced user, but if you tell me where are the config file i will figure it out.

i checked the .config/swaylock/config but when i chaged that, not really get what i changed…

thank you.

If you read the script it’s calling for lock.sh which calls swaylock with a bunch of options that don’t really exist for swaylock. This is not a problem as swaylock will still work as I had stated before this script is supposed to timeout your screen after an interval rather than immediately lock it. That’s what swayidle does, look for when system is idle.

If you define ~/.config/swaylock/config then you won’t need to pass config options to swaylock manually all the time as done in lock.sh,

cat config 
File: config
indicator-caps-lock
font=FiraSans
indicator-radius=125
line-color=#3b4252
text-color=#d8dee9
inside-color=#2e344098
inside-ver-color=#5e81ac
line-ver-color=#5e81ac
ring-ver-color=#5e81ac98
ring-color=#4c566a
key-hl-color=#5e81ac

layout-text-color=#eceff4
line-wrong-color=#d08770
show-failed-attempts
image='/usr/share/wallpapers/garuda-wallpapers/Garuda-TilliDie-cube-105.png'

here is my script put this in the config file I mentioned (~/.config/swaylock/config)

then perform

swaylock -f

and see it will not give you a whitescreen anymore. I don’t quite remember the name of the project that takes all the extended options provided in the lock.sh config file but I suppose you can find that on your own as well.

Yes, now i got the same lock screen. and changed the sleep.sh

#!/bin/sh
swayidle -w \
                timeout 60 'temp=$(brightnessctl g); brightnessctl set $((temp / 2))' \
                    resume 'temp=$(brightnessctl g); brightnessctl set $((temp * 2))' \
                timeout 120 'swaylock -f & sleep 1 && hyprctl dispatch dpms off' \
                    resume 'hyprctl dispatch dpms on' \
                timeout 420 'systemctl suspend'

Working perfectly.

Next i will check you previous comment, about suspend hook.

Thank you.

edit:
why not accept the swaylock this in the config file?

clock
timestr=%R
datestr=%a, %e of %B

i check a couple dot files and a lot of them has it but here doesnt accept it. i just get a white background when i add to the config. :upside_down_face:

Try this version of swaylock, GitHub - mortie/swaylock-effects: Swaylock, with fancy effects

Download using pacman. I think you would have to remove swaylock to use swaylock effects. This is bascially a fancier implementation of swaylock. It will use the same config file and same commands to do the same things the original swaylock did just with more customization options.

So probably your errors should go away with this.

Now is fine, thank you.

##Lock screen and Suspend in idle on Hyprland##

I would like detail here how i set up lock the screen with the instructions what @NaN gave me above.

  1. replace swaylock with swaylock-effects and install swayidle
sudo pacman -R swaylock
sudo pacman -S swaylock-effects swayidle
  1. edit the swaylock config file at “/home/[your username]/.config/swaylock/”
cd /home/[your username]/.config/swaylock/

this is my config:

# Caps Lock indicator
indicator-caps-lock

# Font setting
font=FiraSans

# Show date and time
clock
timestr=%R
datestr=%a, %e of %B

# Add current screenshot as wallpaper
screenshots

# Add a picture as wallpaper
# image='/usr/share/wallpapers/garuda-wallpapers/Garuda-TilliDie-cube-105.png'

# Effect for background
effect-blur=5x2
effect-greyscale
# effect-pixelate=5

# Show/Hide indicator circle
indicator
indicator-thickness=20
indicator-caps-lock
indicator-radius=125

# Colors
line-color=#3b4252
text-color=#d8dee9
inside-color=#2e344098
inside-ver-color=#5e81ac
line-ver-color=#5e81ac
ring-ver-color=#5e81ac98
ring-color=#4c566a
key-hl-color=#5e81ac
separator-color=#4c566a
layout-text-color=#eceff4
line-wrong-color=#d08770

# Show wrong typed password
show-failed-attempts
  1. edit the sleep.sh file at "/home/[your username]/.config/hypr/scripts/
    you don’t need do nothing with the lock.sh, later on will have a solution for screen lock.
cd /home/[your username]/.config/hypr/scripts

this is my script:

#!/bin/sh
swayidle -w \
                timeout 60 'temp=$(brightnessctl g); brightnessctl set $((temp / 2))' \
                    resume 'temp=$(brightnessctl g); brightnessctl set $((temp * 2))' \
                timeout 90 'swaylock -f & sleep 1' \
                timeout 180 'hyprctl dispatch dpms off' \
                    resume 'hyprctl dispatch dpms on' \
                timeout 420 'systemctl suspend'

  1. give “x” permission for sleep.sh
sudo chmod +x sleep.sh
  1. edit hyprland.conf. Add this line to your conf file.
# Set Lock and Sleep
exec-once = ~/.config/hypr/scripts/sleep.sh

Don’t forget switch to deactivate the small eye icon next to the calendar!

Save and log out and log in or restart your system and it will woks.

##Lock the screen before suspend!##

So when you click on the suspend in the power menu the system only suspend but not lock the system. I followed the link and i used the file what @NaN provided in the comments above. Here is the steps how i did.
Power management - ArchWiki

  1. make a text file and name it “sleep@.service”
    add to this and save it (this is from @NaN ):
[Unit]
Description=User suspend actions
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=%I
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:1 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/swaylock -f
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/sleep 1

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target
  1. Copy the file to “/etc/systemd/system/”
    Make sure you are in the folder where you made the file and copy
sudo cp sleep@.service /etc/systemd/system/
  1. Enable and start the service
sudo systemctl enable sleep@[your username] && systemctl start sleep@[your username]

If you did everything right, now your system will lock before suspend.

##Lock screen and suspend when lid is closed.##
Hyprland Wiki Switches

  1. Check the name of the lid switch on your laptop.
hyprctl devices

probably on the bottom you will find something like that

Switches:
	Switch Device at 63124b016280:
		Lid Switch

In my case the name is “Lid Switch”

  1. Add this to the hyprland.conf. Note that the switch name is case sensitive!
# lock the screen when close the lid
#bindl=,switch:on:[your switch name],exec,swaylock -l

# lock the screen and suspend when close the lid (need sleep hook)
bindl=,switch:on:[your switch name],exec,systemctl suspend

choose witch settings you need.

If everything was right now should working fine the screen lock and suspend in idle and when closed the laptop lid.

I hope this will helpful for others is well.

Thank you for the help from @NaN

I am wondering if there is any chance to implement all of this into the Garuda-Hyprland ISO?
It would be nice if it worked out of the box.

I also wonder why nobody from the team has tested and implemented it within the last 21 hours? Why is there no MR from you in Gitlab yet?

Maybe i used not the best word for this. I don’t urge nobody. It was more like a question for the future.

Hmmm, there is a point. I don’t have Gitlab yet. I will set up an account and i will do. I will help how much i can.

Are you open to MR’s in hyprland now? Because I would like to change the default volume control from pactl to pamixer.

The current config allows you to increase speaker volume to infinity which is dangerous for speakers and users might unintentionally do that.

Last time I suggested this you guys were not open to new features.

So i need find the project, make a fork of it, made the changes and open an MR? Did I get the basic?
