Try to login after downloading HyDE hyperland

[foggy ridge]

Trying to login after downloading HyDE hyperland did as scripts says but for now I'm entering the right password and it showing login failed continuously

[bleak mauve]

try root for user and root for password?

[sick plume]

No, you should never login as root to gui

[sick plume]

... tty

[sullen iron]

#15700 📣 To open a TTY (virtual console) press and hold Control, Alt and then press F1 through F6

[foggy ridge]

? Pls elaborate

[bleak mauve]

#15700 📣 To open a TTY (virtual console) press and hold Control, Alt and then press F1 through F6

[sick plume]

Try to login there

[foggy ridge]

No bro nothing is happening when I do that

[sick plume]

You're probably doing it incorrectly

What f did you press

[foggy ridge]

F1 to F6

[sick plume]

While holding ctrl and alt?

Have you logged in as that user before?

[foggy ridge]

Did nothing happened

[foggy ridge]

Yep before installing HyDE it worked smoothly

In kde plasma

[sick plume]

If you still have plasma then switch to its session

[foggy ridge]

I'm currently in that session but also showing login failed

What should do now ?

[sick plume]

Well you can directly boot to a target where the display manager doesn't start automatically

[foggy ridge]

How bro

[sick plume]

Add this boot param to boot to tty without starting the dm

systemd.unit=multi-user.target

.aw kernel parameters

[sullen iron]

Kernel parameters

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

[foggy ridge]

I guess I did open tty3 now

By pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3

[sick plume]

Yeah..

[foggy ridge]

Now what should I do

[sick plume]

Try to login as your user

If you can't, login as the root user instead and unlock your user account in case it's locked
faillock --user username --reset

Then switch to tty1 or any other or log out

And try to login as your user

Could be locked due to trying the wrong pass too many times

[foggy ridge]

I am logged in so I guess password isn't an issue

[foggy ridge]

Maybe

[sick plume]

Yeah

Did your dm switch?

Same keyboard layout?

[foggy ridge]

Means

[sick plume]

Display manager

[foggy ridge]

How to check that

[sick plume]

Sddm, gdm, lightdm

[sick plume]

Should be somewhere in the login screen

[foggy ridge]

Umm i can't find able to find that

[sick plume]

Ok well the sddm log is weird

Send whole log

journalctl -b -0 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

[foggy ridge]

Should I try this command?

[sick plume]

That uploads the system journal and gives you a link to it

Left side of the pipe | prints the log, right side of it uploads it to 0x0.st

[foggy ridge]

Well it's showing this

[sick plume]

You mistyped

[foggy ridge]

How

Should I give space after file@

[sick plume]

Bruh

You should type it like I sent it

[foggy ridge]

My bad I saw my mistake now

[covert trench]

Also, are you able to run Hyprland from the command line fine?

[foggy ridge]

Wdym

[foggy ridge]

Bro output is this

[covert trench]

If you run the command Hyprland there, what happens

[covert trench]

And that's what it should output, it's just giving a link for us so we can see your logs

[foggy ridge]

In tty

[covert trench]

Yes

[foggy ridge]

Lemme try it

@covert trench it opened this

And yeah after logging out it showed this

[foggy ridge]

Bro what should I do now

[sick plume]

Well seems to have something to do with the dm and presumably the hyde modifications

You can install a another dm and disable sddm

You can also search the hyde issues in case its reported there

One of the risks of pre-built dotfiles is that you have no idea what is going on

[foggy ridge]

True

[foggy ridge]

But now what about now I get out from tty and try logging again and it's still failed

[sick plume]

Did you setup your locale right

[foggy ridge]

What ?? How to do that

[sick plume]

It's in the installation guide

.aw installation guide

[sullen iron]

Installation guide

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

[sick plume]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Localization

[foggy ridge]

I can't remember well but I did as the guide says during installation

[covert trench]

What does /etc/locale.conf contain?

And try running locale-gen as root and see what locales get listed

[foggy ridge]

In tty again

[foggy ridge]

It's showing permission denied

[foggy ridge]

Tried also this command it says
Generating locales...
Generation complete

[covert trench]

Sounds like you don't have any locales enabled then

Try editing /etc/locale.gen as root, and then uncommenting en_US.UTF-8 by removing the #

[foggy ridge]

What do you mean as root bro?

[covert trench]

With sudo

[foggy ridge]

Okay

[covert trench]

Or whatever your preferred method of running commands as root is

[foggy ridge]

Tried with sudo command not found

[covert trench]

Try it with run0 instead of sudo

[covert trench]

You need to use a text editor to edit a file, such as nano or vim

Also put a / before etc

After you do that, run locale-gen again and then try editing /etc/locale.conf again and adding

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

[foggy ridge]

There is one

[foggy ridge]

So command should be nano sudo /etc/locale.gen

[covert trench]

sudo would go before the text editor command

So sudo nano /etc/locale.gen

Once you're in nano, you can use Ctrl+W to search by the way

[foggy ridge]

I'm currently in the nano editor now what should I do

[sick plume]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Localization

[covert trench]

Find the line that has en_US.UTF-8, remove the # from it, and then save and exit the file with Ctrl + K

[foggy ridge]

I think I did it what now

[covert trench]

Have you done this as well?

You'll need to run locale-gen as root as well

[foggy ridge]

Like how to add it

[covert trench]

Edit the file and then add that line

If you use nano just open it, type it in, and then exit and save

[foggy ridge]

Btw name should be /etc/locale.gen right not /etc/locale.conf right ?

[sick plume]

No

Wiki

.conf

[foggy ridge]

So it should be /etc/locale.conf

Ok

[sick plume]

Well actually both

You need to edit both files

Dunno at what point you are

Just read the wiki

[foggy ridge]

Wait isn't the after removing # and adding this new line LANG are both same file

[sick plume]

The new line is added to .conf

Removing # is in .gen

[foggy ridge]

So what should I do now

[sick plume]

Read the wiki section carefully

After you've finished it reboot and try to login

[foggy ridge]

It's confusing 😭

Lemme send you ss

[sick plume]

Nah

[sick plume]

Read the wiki section from the top to the bottom

Not middle to top to bottom

Gn, should be easy to fix the login issue assuming it's due to not generating locates

Should only take a few mins

[foggy ridge]

Well now I read I understand a bit of what to do

I guess

[foggy ridge]

Now PLS Honestly tell me the name is correct

[covert trench]

No, you're editing locale.gen so you want to to write to that

[foggy ridge]

So gen instead of conf I use gen

[covert trench]

Yes

[foggy ridge]

Now what should I do

I did save it

[covert trench]

Now, run locale-gen as root again, and it should list en_US

[foggy ridge]

@covert trench

It's showing this

[covert trench]

You added that to the wrong spot

[foggy ridge]

Pls tell me how to connect ut

It*

[covert trench]

You only needed to uncomment a line in locale.gen, and then add the LANG= to locale.conf

Edit /etc/locale.gen again, and remove the line you added

Did you replace another line or did just add it to the end/start?

[foggy ridge]

Just add that line in gen

I removed it now

[covert trench]

That's good

Now, edit the file /etc/locale.conf, and add

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

[foggy ridge]

It's already added i guess

[covert trench]

That's not the right file

[foggy ridge]

Bro I did it in /etc/locale.conf as you said

[covert trench]

If locale.conf looks like that then you accidently saved the contents of locale.gen to it

[foggy ridge]

I removed it from locale.gen as you said

So what should I do

[covert trench]

Try doing this instead, it will overwrite the contents with the correct thing
su -c "echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf"

[covert trench]

But in the screenshot you just sent, the file looks like what locale.gen should

[foggy ridge]

Above it's written in /etc/locale.conf

So I added that line in this and in gen also mistakenly

[covert trench]

If this is what /etc/locale.conf looks like for you, something went wrong

It should either be empty or only have one line in it

[foggy ridge]

So what now

[covert trench]

If you do this, it should correct the contents of the file

[foggy ridge]

Okie lemme try it

[foggy ridge]

I did run this command but seems like nothing happened I mean nothing showed up

[covert trench]

That's to be expected

Now, if you run cat /etc/locale.conf, which will output the contents of the file, do you see that line?

[foggy ridge]

I guess it's wrong

[covert trench]

Okay, how about instead try this, run nano as root without a file after, write LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the new file, do Ctrl + K, and when it asks you where to save it, put /etc/locale.conf

[foggy ridge]

What do you mean by without file

[covert trench]

Just sudo nano by itself

[foggy ridge]

Yeah but after that what

[covert trench]

Once nano opens, type in LANG=en_US.UTF-8, and then save the file to /etc/locale.conf

[foggy ridge]

Should I overwrite file

Yes I guess

[foggy ridge]

Bro I did I guess

What now

[covert trench]

I would try rebooting and see if it anything changes with your issue

[foggy ridge]

So should I exit tty and reboot

[covert trench]

You can just reboot from there by running reboot

[foggy ridge]

Still same problem

😭 😭

[covert trench]

Well something else must be the issue then, but I'm going off to bed soon so I can't help you right now

You can try running Hyprland from the TTY like earlier and it should give you a functional system for now though

[foggy ridge]

Okay any guess what should be permanent solution for this

[covert trench]

It may be an issue with the SDDM configuration so that could be changed, but I don't know exactly

[foggy ridge]

Okay 🥲

[tacit plover]

I had this same problem today , and it was because sddm wasnt loading my preferred keyboard layout.
Do you normally use a different keyboard layout from standard qwerty?

[foggy ridge]

No bro I use default one english

[foggy ridge]

Can you tell me about your username according to this solution it's due to uppercase in letter
https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE/issues/404

[tacit plover]

my username is all lowercase, it was my password that was the problem
