I just installed Garuda Linux Hyprland edition. “Everything is so messed up”. I reflashed my usb twice. Even tried different tools. Same result. There is no wallpaper. Keyrings are completely messed up. Hyprland config is messed up too.
Try to change any config file. The system just wreaks havoc on itself.
Waybar stretches all the way to the ends cutting itself off. Thinking its on a wide display. I can’t even remove any widgets I don’t want. Try to and it gets messed up real bad.
App Launcher takes a while to open. I’m on a Samsung T7 500 GB NVME USB connected SSD. Windows is fast. Garuda should be FASTER. Also many app launchers are available for some reason (or) maybe different styles of the same launcher. idk.
There are many terminals. Some like Alacritty with outdated configs.
Resetting all configs from the Garuda Assistant does NOTHING.
Copying files over from Garuda-Hyprland-Settings with latest commits from @Ankur himself 4 days ago. Does nothing either.
I’m just getting so SICK and TIRED of going through your forum all day long. To try and find a solution to this.
Also I think its time to put a new ISO. “BIRD OF PREY” was released in April. From May, June and July. Its been quite a while since an update had come.
I know new releases and ISO’s come every time there’s something big changed or there’s many small changes that make up a new version.
But,
Please put a new release / update addressing these issues. I think its better to release a new ISO every month like Arch. To make sure all new fixes and improvements though critical or not get to users. And something like this doesn’t happen again.
P.S. I have been using Linux for the past few years and think of myself as at the very least a little bit of an advanced user. I’ve used Xmonad, Qtile, Hyprland, KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon, Deepin and much more. I’ve tried and used and tweaked numerous configs. But, I’ve never seen a system get so busted like this.
Would be better if newer installations could connect to the internet and import the latest changes and improvements from Garuda’s git repos.
I am my ownself using the ISO’s from the download page
And that is the same ISO through I installed garuda on my new laptop without getting into any trouble
which type of changes did you did ??
we can’t do anything about that without knowing what you changed ,
also please provide "garuda inxi "
other than that please remember that it is for only advanced users and Hyprland itself is at so much development as it is still not that stable yet
For me it is faster , but as said it is not stable yet so your experience might be different from mine
I only removed certain widgets from waybar. Like temperature idle-inhibitor etc. Only removed texts mentioning widgets like these in modules-center, modules-left etc.
If you still think there isn’t a problem. I’m on Garuda right now and would be happy to download the iso again. And reflash it on my usb. And check from the live cd if everything’s alright. And I would also like to know how to change configs here specifically. Since, even the slightest of changes seems to break things.
What do you mean? I feel like this a place where users can discuss openly about their issues. I admit that other platforms like Telegram may give a better experience, but I don’t understand why I shouldn’t post here.
I would still like some help regarding the following issues.
1. Easily editable configs
I would like to be able to edit the configs easily. For some reason, whatever changes you make, even if its just removing some stuff that you don’t need. Especially in Waybar. The formatting goes all wrong. Everythng gets so out of place that even Garuda’s own programs cannot fix it.
2. Speed
Hopefully for better experience on NVME ssd’s
3. Fresh new “100 % working configs” available on Garuda’s git repos
Config files sure don’t work for everyone. But, maybe a script that makes sure everything’s alright and reinstalls and reconfigures Garuda to its “expected default state”. Would be helpful.
4. Regular check of iso’s by downloading them from Garuda’s website and trying them on your spare PC / VM
This one is not really important as I’m sure you already do this anyways. As much as you can. To make sure Garuda’s compatable.
You haven’t rebooted since your last update, the ‘swoosh’ indicates, Please do so. A lot of changes/updates aren’t effective unless a reboot isn’t performed.
I’ve rebooted multiple times. Even after resetting Garuda configs through your program. The updates that I’ve done weren’t really related to this issue.
I’ve rebooted just now. And no updates are pending. But the Hyprland experience is just the same.
I’m sorry but I believe a topic can be about a number of things. I’ve made the topic’s title a bit vague on purpose. Its not about a particular thing, but about Garuda Hyprland and other spins of Garuda in general.
It’s more about the entire user experience and a user’s look at a particular distribution.
Since, in my case a mishap in configs is causing a problem in the entire usability of the system.
This just shows how important “proper” configs are. Allowing the user to edit them easily. Not that the configs are bad or anything but, they are now causing issues that they haven’t before.
Also I don’t wanna post “9 different topics”. But, I admit it can probably get a little confusing.
Apart from the fact that the forum search works better, it quickly becomes confusing when several people reply to different problems.
Also, it does not allow you to mark the topic as solved if only 9 out of 10 issues have been solved.
I agree with you on this. But, I would still like some news on this matter. I’m gonna be here till 11:00 PM. As of tommorow, 6:30 PM would be good as I have some important personal work scheduled.
You should perhaps calm down and start communicating properly, this also applies to your font size. If you keep shouting here, you won’t get any help.
Garuda Hyprland is for advanced users only
If you don’t have any basic knowledge and panic at every little problem, then you are obviously overwhelmed.
