Waybar hyprland/language module not working properly

Issues & Assistance Hyprland | Community
1

Hi guys, did a full two days of researching the issue, but just cant get it to display active keyboard layout language. Ive read somewhere on reddit that apparently this was a known bug in 2023, but was supposed to be fixed december 2023, yet Im experiencing this issue.

Here is my waybar.config:

{
    "layer": "top", // Waybar at top layer
    "position": "top", // Waybar position (top|bottom|left|right)
    "height": 35,
    "width":1900,
    "margin-top",
    "margin": "0 0 0 0",  
 "spacing":0,

    // Choose the order of the modules

Missing garuda-inxi!

Change from waybar-hyprland-git to waybar-hyprland or opposit.

You can also open a new issue there if it failed again.

Woops, sorry bout that, added it to my post now. Do I find waybar-hyprland in AUR?

Btw, Garuda use

pacman -Qi waybar
Name                     : waybar

Thanks, I’ll give your suggestions a try. Hope it works

I don’t get an error, but I can’t really test it due to lack of hardware.

Thats the strange part, syntax seems to be correct. but instead im getting this.

edit: tried to implement your previous suggestions, by reinstalling waybar, but unsuccessful due to dependancy issue:

sudo pacman -Rns waybar
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing waybar breaks dependency 'waybar' required by garuda-hyprland-settings

it is recommended to use waybar, not waybar hyprland, AFAIK waybar-hyprland was a temporary solution for hyprland now it is no more needed, and also you won’t be able to find it in aur packages

there is no sense of removing waybar
btw you can try git version , just do :

sudo pacman -Rdd waybar
sudo pacman -S waybar-git

That’s only I can suggest

If I would run your config then it would give me this :

 ╭─ankur@ankur in ~ 
 ╰─λ waybar
[2024-03-24 22:41:27.850] [info] Using configuration file /home/ankur/.config/waybar/config
[2024-03-24 22:41:27.850] [error] Error parsing JSON: * Line 6, Column 17
  Missing ':' after object member name

so I can’t help, as there seems like formatting issue.

This was a slightly incorrect margin setting. I fixed it here

{
    "layer": "top", // Waybar at top layer
    "position": "top", // Waybar position (top|bottom|left|right)
    "height": 35,
    "width":1900,
    "margin": "5 0 0 0",

your solution :

  "hyprland/language": {
    "format": "{}",
    "min-length" : 8,
    "format-en": "Murica",
    "format-ru": "Мяу =^~^=",
    "keyboard-name": "at-translated-set-2-keyboard"
   },
