cerulean solar Apr 25, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

teal valley Untill someone referred me to hyprland

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

Can you just help me change the resulotion?

@teal valley

#

Mind giving the monitor section of your hyprland.conf

#

Also
hyprctl monitors

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

How do I get there?

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:37 PM

#

it should be in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

Do i cd in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf?

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

teal valley Do i cd in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf?

Yk what

#

#

Just open it in a text editor

cerulean solar Apr 25, 2025, 10:41 PM

#

teal valley Stop what?

cat ~/.conf/hypr/hyprland.conf | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:41 PM

cerulean solar Apr 25, 2025, 10:42 PM

#

cat ~/.conf/hypr/conf/monitor.conf| curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

cerulean solar Apr 25, 2025, 10:42 PM

#

teal valley I don't have cat

yes you do

#

it's part of coreutils

#

which is needed by base https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/coreutils/

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:43 PM

#

cat ~/.config/hypr/conf/monitor.conf

timid warren Have you used arch before

Yes I have

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

teal valley Yes I have

It seem to me that

#

You are new to Linux in general

#

Looking from you trying to execute a config file and saying cat isn’t installed

@timid warren

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

Do note that hyprland isn’t for new users

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

teal valley (This is what I got using vim)

There’s the problem

#

The resolution is incorrect

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

timid warren Do note that hyprland isn’t for new users

Oh

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:45 PM

#

teal valley Oh

So

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

I shouldn't be using it

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

teal valley I shouldn't be using it

You can

#

It’s just that it would be difficult

#

You can find the all the available resolution and refresh rate using
hyprctl monitors

#

And pick the preferred one

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

Alr

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

teal valley Alr

Also

#

I would suggest throughly following the master guide in hyprland wiki

#

To familiarize yourself with hyprland

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

@timid warren I putted in my resulotion for my laptop now what?

cerulean solar Apr 25, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

@teal valley save and quit

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

I have no idea how on vim

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

teal valley I have no idea how on vim

Then why did you use that instead of nano

#

Type :wq

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

Alr

timid warren Apr 25, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

And the changes should be automatically applied

#

If auto reload isn’t disabled on the dotfile you took

teal valley Apr 25, 2025, 10:53 PM

THERE WE GO
