 Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2024 2:45 pm Post subject: Hyprland not launching - no errors |

Metadata and sources as links at the last and second last section.
Expected behavior
Launching Hyprland (graphical environment appearing).
Issue description
Running the following command does not lead to Hyprland launching:
| Code: | | dbus-run-session Hyprland |
I compared the tty output to how it looks on my NixOS machine and it's exactly as it should be when launching Hyprland, except nothing happens, the command finishes and the shell input line appears again.
Steps to reproduce
Metadata at the bottom
- Fresh Gentoo installation
- Updated system
- Installed basic software (doas, zsh and fetch)
- Installed gui-wm/hyprland
- Hyprland gives missing XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error
- Fixed dbus not running at runtime
- Fixed dbus not being included in the global flags - Fixed seatd not running at runtime
- Fixed missing flags: builtin && server - dbus-run-session Hyprland (result: see Issue description)
Other attempted solutions
This is not my first try: I reinstalled Gentoo twice within a couple of days just to see if I perhaps messed something up during the installation but after reinstalling for the second time, I doubt that is the case since the problem remained nevertheless. There was one key change in how I tried to fix this issue in my previous Gentoo installation: Instead of fixing the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error when running hyprland by installing elogind I did it manually by declaring the variables in .zshenv. Additionally I also tried installing a display manager, that being SDDM and Greetd, which failed, but I don't have the logs from then.
Additional context
I'm new to Gentoo and I've read the wiki very carefully for weeks before getting into it. I believe I haven't touched on anything that is completely outside of my comfort zone during the installation (eg. compiling the kernel manually, eg. setting highly specific use flags). That being said, I have experience with Hyprland from using it as my desktop on my NixOS machine.

I've followed the instructions on the Gentoo and the Hyprland wiki.

PS:
I am hesitant to post this as a Hyprland issue not only because I think it's Gentoo related but also because Gentoo is not officially supported.
PPS:
I tried my best to do my due diligence in this post and would be thankful for any help, advice or ideas. Thanks for reading.
PPPS: Edit: typo.
