Unset Keymap Preventing Login

Issues & Assistance Hyprland
1

Context as this was originally a reply in Hyprland login failed
After inputting the correct login credentials, I’d get booted back to the greeter almost immediately.

Same boat. This doesn’t seem to be an Nvidia issue :thinking: but could be wrong.
I tried 2 ISOs: garuda-hyprland-linux-zen-231127.iso from the Nvidia fixes thread, and garuda-hyprland-linux-zen-231029.iso, available from the main site downloads page.

Here’s the crash report from running Hyprland in the terminal:

The same segmentation fault error happened after installing from both ISOs. Seems like some kind of keyboard issue?
The issue is persistent after running a garuda-update -a.

I put the env vars you, SGS, mentioned into ~/.config/hypr/hyprstart - I hope that’s the correct place? Stll no change.

Garuda (2.6.19-2):
  System install date:     2023-12-09
  Last full system update: 2023-12-09
  Is partially upgraded:   No
  Relevant software:       snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms
  Windows dual boot:       Probably (Run as root to verify)
  Failed units:            systemd-vconsole-setup.service

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can provide :slight_smile:
If OP could provide theirs as well, that’d be good. Hopefully it’s the same issue

Update: I can now login after running localectl set-keymap us. The problem was the unset VC keyboard layout in this case (which you can see with localectl status - the X11 layout was au for me but not VC). If you don’t fix it this way, no matter how many times you try to change it in hyprland.conf, it will always revert to being unset.

Now the question is how that happened in the first place… :thinking:

Did you comment out with #

exec-once = .local/bin/garuda-locale.sh

?

Please, only use the latest build. :slight_smile:

What is the command for this output?

I can’t test it for dual GPU on Notebooks, sorry.

The keyboard layout is what you set in live ISO “grub” or later in calamares for the installation on metal, and what is VC?

Maybe it’s better you open a separate thread about?

Nope, I didn’t even realise that was a line in the config file o_o;;
Additionally, this happened right after a fresh install. I wouldn’t have tampered with the hyprland config file in any way at that point.

Literally Hyprland (capitalised H required) - the one that starts hyprland. It’s the same one in ~/.config/hypr/hyprstart, so running that gives the same results. After running it, it will then dump a crash log in ~/.hyprland.

Yeah, so I set my keyboard layout to en-AU (English, Australia). This is on my bare metal - I have Qtile and Hyprland in separate subvolumes.

The odd thing is that it was only my X11 keymap that got set to au (in other words, en-AU). VC stands for ‘virtual console’ - after I set both keymaps to us, the font size in the virtual console also changed (and so my routine squinting as a HiDPI display user began once again lol).

As for splitting this into a new topic, I’m cool with that. Maybe with the title of “Unset Keymap Preventing Login”

(Note: The solution is in the first post. I’m marking this as the solution because I can’t mark the first post as the solution)
