Is there a D-Bus session bus running? (Note this is not the same as the D-Bus system bus provided by the 'dbus' service.) Check if the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable is set, e.g. by running:
If it's not, then you need to start a session bus when you start your Hyprland session, e.g. by starting Hyprland like this:
| Code: | | $ dbus-run-session hyprland |

I don't think Hyprland likes to be started from lightdm |

You haven't answered my question about confirming whether or not there is a D-Bus session bus active. If there's not, you need to work out how to ensure LightDM starts a session bus before it starts Hyprland. (i'm not at all familiar with LightDM, and the Gentoo wiki page for LightDM only talks about the `dbus` service, which as i wrote in my previous message, starts a system bus, not the session bus that's required.)

Running gives the DBUS ID
When I actually run | Code: | | dbus-run-session Hyprland |
from tty1, Hyprland and waybar
start how they should. I have lightdm starting on tty7 which is how I go into KDE plasma. |

you can also edit /usr/share/wayland-sessions/hyprland.desktop and add dbus-run-session to Exec=dbus-run-session Hyprland or use the following patch,
