Lockscreen

[hard blade]

Hello, I am new to linux and decided to install arch with hyprland, everything seems to work exept for one thing wich is whenever I boot up my pc, i have this login page, wich works but i have tried to install hyprlock and after installing it, the lockscreen also works, but when i reboot or log out, i now i have 2 lock screens, the one in the pic and the hyprlock one, if someone could explain me how to get rid of this one or what it is linked to? Because typing my password 2 times is annoying, and also the default lockscreen isnt aesthetic
Thanks

this is ly, a display manager. it lets you pick which session to start. its like a password prompt that appears BEFORE you start a desktop (in your case, hyprland).

lockscreen is just that, a lockscreen, it runs INSIDE of your session and is launched BY it.

if you're having issues with typing in your password twice, thats a misconfiguration of your hyprlock

[limpid saddle]

This is not a lock screen this is a display manager and without this you will only boot into tty and there you will have to type your username and password then you will have to run hyprland there so do you prefer that or this?

[limpid saddle]

And if you want a good looking display manager try sddm and theme it

[hard blade]

oh allr i get it thanks

its just what allow me to log IN my user right

[pine wharf]

yeah

[hard blade]

is there a way to skip that or nah?

[pine wharf]

i mean, you can set up autologin, but its less secure

.aw autologin

[magic plover]

Pam autologin

[hard blade]

yeah ig so

[limpid saddle]

don't use autologin

[hard blade]

i'll try sddm like @limpid saddle advised me

[hard blade]

ik its less secure but 😔

[limpid saddle]

it's your hyprlock config that runs on startup ask in hyprland there is a way to not run it on startup only after the pc goes to sleep

or you can tell me how did you setup the hyprlock I can look up something

[hard blade]

like the conf file?

i deleted rn cuz it was annoying

i just use ly since i dont wanna log in twice

its just the ly log in that i wanna skip, so the only thing askip for log in would be hyprlock

maybe if i enable autologin hyprlock would still ask for my password

[limpid saddle]

ok if you don't have any other use for hyprlock then there is no need for it

[hard blade]

yeah

alr thanks i will look into

i just didnt know what it was at first

[limpid saddle]

just keep a display manager

[hard blade]

i will

@hard blade who's dot's did you take?

[hard blade]

wym

[outer falcon]

@hard blade you installed arch with hyprland, what script did you use?

[hard blade]

archinstall

when you choose ur DE hyprland is already there

[outer falcon]

that's all you did?

[hard blade]

ye

I wouldn't recommended using a wm for my first use of a wm in arch, I would recommended using a de to get to know arch a little bit better, then use a wm

[hard blade]

is it bad? 😭

[hard blade]

i dont like de

i started using linux for a week

i used kde on debian, cinnamon on mint and gnome on fedora

i didnt liked any of them

[outer falcon]

try xfce

[hard blade]

it looks outdated

using a wm isnt that hard tbh

de feels too handholding

[outer falcon]

it is for beginners

[hard blade]

true but i like learning

i've learned way more in a single day with arch and hyprland

than with gnome on fedora

cuz with a de i only use gui

[outer falcon]

@hard blade I wouldn't recommended using hyprland for my first use of a wm in arch, I would recommended using i3 or awesome to get to know a wm's a little bit better, then use a hyprland

[hard blade]

what about dwm

is it good?

[outer falcon]

same as hyprland, not for beginners

[hard blade]

damn

hyprland feels good for now tho

if i get a problem i'll just install gnome back

but hyprland doesnt seems that hard

[outer falcon]

do you have a bar with a app launcher?

[hard blade]

yeah

wofi

and i also have dolphin as my file manager

[limpid saddle]

idk bro i3 seems hard

[outer falcon]

it's not that hard

[outer falcon]

that is not a bar

[hard blade]

hyprland have a big community tho, much easier to find help

[limpid saddle]

can't use awesome without knowing scripting

[outer falcon]

I never needed to know about lua

@hard blade this is a bar

[hard blade]

OHH

this wait

lemme find the name i forgor

[outer falcon]

waybar

[hard blade]

yeah
