[Hyprland] Black screen issue after using garuda-network and garuda-boot

Issues & Assistance Hyprland
1

After reinstalling the Garuda Hyprland edition, I launched garuda-network, entered the password, and it worked normally — I could configure it and keep it running without any issues.

However, once I close the program, after a few seconds (sometimes up to a dozen seconds), the screen goes completely black. The Caps Lock key still responds (LED toggles), so the system itself is not fully frozen.

The same thing also happens with garuda-boot.

Since the screen goes black, I don’t have the technical ability to further diagnose the cause. I’m just reporting this issue here.

Nvidia Driver = :+1:
Perhaps, you stay on hyprland and no info about this.

Question: What you mean with this ?
You have more then one os installed, perhaps other linux ?

Which ? To become more knowledge it needed relevant logs, journal log / app log.
Post these logs over privatebin, pls.

5

maybe after the crash you can press the button ctrl+alt+ F3/F4 and login again and get the outputs like gampel already mentioned .

When I close either of these two programs with mod+q, the screen goes black after a few seconds.

7

The own apps from garuda.
These are both qt5 base apps. (my knowledge)
It’s possible that you need hyprland-qt-support-git
not “only” hyprland-qt-support.
But the devs from here knows more about this.

8

Okay, I just did a clean install of the Garuda Hyprland edition on a different PC that only has an integrated GPU. I was able to reproduce the issue there as well. So at this point, I’m pretty sure: on Garuda’s Hyprland version, when I run these two programs , the screen goes black a few seconds to a minute after closing them.

9

It’s not on the metal, the app itself. (my mind)
On plasma i have no problems with both apps but this is not relevant for hyprland.

10

try a update again there was a qt5 upstream today :wink:

to tr1es sry

11

I suspect the launch method might be the cause—they both use:
Exec=dbus-run-session -- /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-boot-options Exec=dbus-run-session -- /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-network-assistant

12

hi

so i started my g-Hypr and updated it. Those Applications didnt run on my side because missing plugins. There was no update since a while. I know also that this application arent working as expected from the older Assistant. Thats why they created the newer Garuda-Rani Application.

There is no maintenance actually .

my output

sudo garuda-network-assistant
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :1
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
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.

I didnt used those tools really in my case . ill take a look if i get the same issue.

13

You should run: dbus-run-session -- /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-network-assistant , Run it and then exit the program - you’ll be able to reproduce my issue.

Name=Garuda Network Assistant
Exec=dbus-run-session -- /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui garuda-network-assistant
Icon=garuda-network-assistant
NoDisplay=false
Categories=System;Garuda-Setup;
Type=Application
14

yeah. i can confirm that issue.

But honestly not all User going that deep to check if its working . Its still not maintained and i dont know when it will happens . That is the Apps from Garuda yes but the person who is working on is maybe bussy with other stuff or in Holiday whatever.

That is my log where i can identify the issue. If you where asked for this didnt find it?

Isn’t this program just an easy thing to find from the launcher? just skip it for the time being.

Heya, I’ve applied a potential fix to this issue. Please update your system and check if the issue persists. Thanks.

17

Now, I click the app icon, it asks for my password, and after I enter it, nothing happens,the app doesn’t run.

18

What launcher do you use

19 
bind = $mainMod, D, exec, pkill wofi || wofi --normal-window --show drun --allow-images 
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, D, exec, nwg-drawer -c 8 -is 60 -spacing 23
20

Sorry, I’m not familiar with this format. What process/binary does the actual launching?
