Works fine over here! Am I misunderstanding the problem?

To have the theme honored, QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE kvantum-dark must be exported as an environment variable.

Speaking of the environment variables, I do not think setting them in .profile is good enough. For me, this file is not getting sourced. See what I mean:

We have in our Fish config a call to source ~/.fish_profile:

## Environment setup                                               
# Apply .profile: use this to put fish compatible .profile stuff in
if test -f ~/.fish_profile                                         
  source ~/.fish_profile                                           
end                                                                

Using this file works fine, if you convert these to Fish syntax.

set -x MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND 1           
set -x MOZ_WAYLAND_USE_VAAPI 1        
set -x MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE 1              
set -x GDK_BACKEND wayland            
set -x XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP hyprland   
set -x XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP hyprland   
set -x XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland       
set -x EDITOR /usr/bin/micro          
set -x BROWSER firedragon             
set -x TERM xterm-256color            
set -x MAIL thunderbird               
set -x QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME qt5ct     
set -x GTK2_RC_FILES $HOME/.ägtkrc-2.0
set -x QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE kvantum-dark 

But this is still not good enough, because for some of these environment variables to work correctly they must be exported before Hyprland is started.

Take Garuda Welcome for example. If I launch from the terminal, the theme is honored because the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE value has been exported in the Fish profile. If I launch from Wofi, the theme is not preserved because that file wasn’t sourced when Hyprland (and all the stuff in its config) started.

Here they are side-by-side, from the terminal on the left and from Wofi on the right:

The correct way to set these variables, or at least a very good way, is to set up a wrapper script as described in the Greetd wiki:

How to set XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland/…?

While you could set this in your .profile, the recommended way to handle this is with a wrapper script. Doing it this way allows you to start multiple login environments without having weird env vars mess with things.

• /usr/local/bin/sway-run (should be made executable)

#!/bin/sh

# Session
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=sway
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway

# Wayland stuff
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1

exec sway $@

#
# If you use systemd and want sway output to go to the journal, use this
# instead of the `exec sway $@` above:
#
#    exec systemd-cat --identifier=sway sway $@
#

Simply use sway-run instead of sway to log in.

Of course we are using SDDM instead of Greetd, so I am not sure where we would put the wrapper script–but I am sure there is a way, right?

Since I brought it up: I don’t really love SDDM as a display manager for this spin. It just seems like it has some problems. Have you guys been able to log out, for example? SDDM doesn’t recover when I have tried this–the screen just goes black and I have to kick over to a TTY.

What do you guys think of switching to Greetd? Is it too plain?

@BluishHumility

What do you guys think of switching to Greetd? Is it too plain?

It failed for me, so I use SDDM, and it works fine here apart from log out.

@BluishHumility

put the wrapper script

I will look at this as soon as possible.

@BluishHumility

Have you guys been able to log out, for example?

Same here, I never log out, just reboot or shutdown.

[Ankur]

@BluishHumility

What do you guys think of switching to Greetd? Is it too plain?

Well, yeah it was causing problem , plus from my experience it is also problematic with preprietry Nvidia drivers too, I have tried greetd in my newly installed hyprland , it won’t start

@BluishHumility

log out

Yeah i was able to do it, (it’s a different thing that the logout was because of a crash while playing with my new system)

EDIT: logout won’t work normally

[GreenMartian]

Thanks @SGS.

I'm going to give this one run on bare metal. I just found out the hard way that you can't backup files to a cloud provider from Fedora Silverblue.

[SGS]

@Ankur

Yeah i was able to do it,

Logout is not the problem , it just exit.
Login is only possible via TTY (3-7), after login hyprstart or Hyprland.
TTY1 nothing
TTY2 show the SDDM login screen (picture), no function is possible.

So, how do you log in?
How it work in Sway?

@BluishHumility

But this is still not good enough, because for some of these environment variables to work correctly they must be exported before Hyprland is started.

/etc/environment

[Ankur]

@SGS

So, how do you log in?

you can put a binding for it :

bind = $mainMod, M, exit,

this should work , it will put you back to login screen (SDDM)

[SGS]

@Ankur

bind = $mainMod, M, exit,

If exit work, why not in nwgbar, swaymsg exit?

[Ankur]

@SGS

swaymsg exit?

Maybe because it’s hyprland not sway

Trying to find out a way to use this hyprland type of exit command to run on terminal , then we can replace hyprland “exit” command which is just usable through keybinding till now to swaymsg exit

maybe some thing in hyprlctl can help us to execute exit command directly from the termianl , maybe there can be something like hyprctl exit(well till now nothing found like hyprctl exit)

[Ankur]

@Ankur

bind = $mainMod, M, exit,

Oh yeah finally found out
Use hyprctl dispatch exit It will do the same thing, but from terminal

[Ankur]

Here is logout fix :

@Ankur

Here is logout fix

Did not work.

@Ankur

bind = $mainMod, M, exit,

Crash

@Ankur

hyprctl dispatch exit

Crash

hyprctl dispatch exit 0

Work

Done.

How can i install this hyperland DWM in already installed GARUDA KDE Draganized version without fresh installation ?? (dont wana losse data and settings ,setups)

[Ankur]

@SGS

@Ankur

hyprctl dispatch exit

Crash

For that I would say

but it runs on my machine

@SGS

/etc/environment

No, this is not how we should handle this. Putting environment variables in /etc/environment sets them system-wide, and may break the ability to have multiple login environments. Also it sets these variables for all users including root, which may not be appropriate in some cases.

Some of the differences between /etc/environment and /etc/profile I don’t even fully understand, but I definitely do not think using etc/environment is a good idea.

What is the difference between `/etc/environment` and `/etc/profile`?

[Ankur]

Well, multiple DE’s are not supported on garuda ,
but if are willing to follow DIY principle then maybe this can help :

Making your own garuda hyprland | Garuda Linux Community Version Available

Hello all Garudians , I recently switched from sway to hyprland and after using it for a while i felt like it is worth to try out , So here I am simply trying to make a guide so that those are interested in hyprland can start using it without doing too much adjustments and without need of smashing their head on keyboard for long hours of coding and configuring it .... So let's begin.... step 1 : install Garuda sway on your system step 2 : install necessary packages cop…
