Hyprland monitor ratios

[lapis valve]

i managed to change to hyprland but problem is my monitors are misaligned and one is on 1388 instead of 1920 can someone please help me change that

[true sphinx]

Is the default hyprland config already written in lua or is it still hyprlang? The version which introduced lua to the wiki is only 2 weeks old so im not sure if the default is already updated.
If its lua the wiki describes it pretty well https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basics/Monitors/ .The one for hyprlang was as detailed and you just need to go back to 0.54 (https://wiki.hypr.land/0.54.0/Configuring/Monitors/). If you still have issues im here to help

[lapis valve]

i have no idea 😭

could we vc rq?

bc ive tried for like 2 hours

if not its alr too

[true sphinx]

fixing this should be pretty fast without vc aswell should be done in a few mins if not we can vc

[lapis valve]

alr alr

[true sphinx]

btw ill link the docs to everything im saying if you want to check what we are doing

[lapis valve]

bet

even tho ill prob won't understand neither just follow steps

bc i have no idea about arch and less of hyprland

[true sphinx]

so can you give me the contents of the file ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua

https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Start/

[lapis valve]

how i check that

[true sphinx]

thats the main config of Hyprland you configure everything there

[lapis valve]

nvm got it

this?

[true sphinx]

huh weird idk why it didnt grab the default conf

[lapis valve]

wait

conf or lua

at the end

[true sphinx]

well .conf is the old one .lua the new one what do you have

[lapis valve]

idk lwk

i installed it with arch

paste it like this?

[true sphinx]

right i gave you .lua

i assume you installed via the archinstall script right?

[lapis valve]

ya

with usb

did i have to install it through another way?

[true sphinx]

do you have a browser installed idk at what point that puts you

[lapis valve]

idk how to open it

[true sphinx]

no thats fine

[lapis valve]

there's literally nothing else than the terminal

[true sphinx]

the bind in here is mainmod + R which is super key + R

[lapis valve]

nothing happends

what if i just start from scratch and reinstall arch or bad idea

[true sphinx]

right it calls wofi.......

[lapis valve]

oh yea bc for some reason hyprland wasnt installed

[true sphinx]

should change they just changed config lang recently and it looks like they have a few issues

[lapis valve]

wdym

[true sphinx]

like previously they had their own language and now they switched to lua

[lapis valve]

ohh

[true sphinx]

and the release has bugs as it looks like

[lapis valve]

so i go into an older version?

[true sphinx]

run
sudo pacman -Syu rofi firefox

[true sphinx]

that would break it more well just fix it. like im on the same version. it works but the default config system is a bit weird

[lapis valve]

i can get used to it

its rn installing

also done

done

[true sphinx]

great now oyu can run firefox the commad

[lapis valve]

how

there

holy fuck

[true sphinx]

write fiirefox in the terminal

[lapis valve]

there

[true sphinx]

then go to hypr.land

[lapis valve]

ok

[lapis valve]

download that?

[true sphinx]

these two and you should be at the default config which it should be installed by defautl

[true sphinx]

yes

[lapis valve]

raw?

or

[true sphinx]

and replace the old conf

[lapis valve]

download zip thing

[true sphinx]

you just want the file so i think raw

[lapis valve]

theres copy raw file and download raw file

[true sphinx]

idk download raw

if you get a .lua its wat we want

[lapis valve]

there

got it

[true sphinx]

then place it in the config folder and replace the old

[lapis valve]

replace the hypr.conf with hyrp.lua from the config folder?

[true sphinx]

mv Downloads/hyprland.lua ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua should do it

[lapis valve]

there

moves it

now i reboot?

[true sphinx]

no need

it reloads on write

[lapis valve]

alr alr

now what

[true sphinx]

then press super + r again

it should do more now

[lapis valve]

nope nothing

[true sphinx]

hyprlauncher -v

[lapis valve]

terminal?

[true sphinx]

yes sry

[lapis valve]

command not found

wait

mb didnt type correctly

nvm it doesnt exist neither

[true sphinx]

ok so they replaced rofi whith their own thing which i dont know much about so lets just use rofi

[lapis valve]

is there any way to change to

hyprland?

[true sphinx]

like you are usign hyprland but to lauch apps the cofig uses hyprlauncher which isnt installed for some reason

ig we can also do pacman -Syu hyprlauncher

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hyprlauncher/

[lapis valve]

downloaded hyprland for hyprland to not me installed

ig

i need to add sudo?

or nah

[true sphinx]

pacman -Syu hyprlauncher do that and it menu should work

ah yes

[lapis valve]

downloading

there

[true sphinx]

super + r again

[lapis valve]

nothin

isnt it still in rofi

[true sphinx]

can you type hyprlauncher in the terminal

[lapis valve]

yup

i can

[true sphinx]

no the default is hyprlauncher in the example

[lapis valve]

okok

[true sphinx]

nano ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua

[lapis valve]

im in

[true sphinx]

send me an image i need to double check if it worked

in theory super r should work rn

[lapis valve]

what if i try to reboot

[true sphinx]

you can try cant hurt

but shouldnt change anythign

[lapis valve]

rebooting

rebootes

IT WORKS

i just had to reboot

[true sphinx]

great never had to do that before in over a year, but nice that it works now somehow

[lapis valve]

yea

lol

now what

bc the monitors are still bugged

[true sphinx]

so now you have the correct main config fine

[lapis valve]

yes

[true sphinx]

can i see the issue with the monitors

[lapis valve]

the HDMI one is not the primary one and the ratio is holy cooked snd the asustek isnt 75hz

[true sphinx]

so if you reopen the conf file in a second window the is hl.monitors

[lapis valve]

wdym

[true sphinx]

we need to change the config now

so reopen it same terminal window works aswell since we have the image here

[lapis valve]

alr

terminal

now what do i put in the terminal

[true sphinx]

open the config so nano ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua

[lapis valve]

lr

alr

[true sphinx]

then copy and paste the hl.monitor twice

we are doing this nowhttps://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basics/Monitors/

[true sphinx]

add another one so you have 3 , 2 will be your monitors and one the catch all that all other would also work when connected

[true sphinx]

then add DP-3 and HDMI-A-3 in the first two for the output name and resolution and refreshrate into the mode field

like this

[lapis valve]

why 3

and the main should be the first right?

[true sphinx]

like i said here your two current ones and one that if you connect another one it also works

[true sphinx]

shouldnt matter much

[lapis valve]

i mean why dp3 and hdmi 3

[true sphinx]

that were the names in the output of the hyprctl monitors

[lapis valve]

oh

oka

[true sphinx]

and wehn you save that it should be fine

hopefully

with your luck idk

[true sphinx]

if you want to set the refreshrate you can add @60 or what the one listed in the output was

[lapis valve]

where do i put it

on mode?

[true sphinx]

in the mode behind the res

[lapis valve]

wdym behind

[true sphinx]

2880x1800@90

[lapis valve]

ohh

like this?

[true sphinx]

dont forget the 75 one is @74.99

[lapis valve]

yes

[true sphinx]

yes

[lapis valve]

then i save?

[true sphinx]

now it shoud work if you save or you get an error

[lapis valve]

i save with

ctrl o?

[true sphinx]

yes

[lapis valve]

nothing happened with the main monitor

the second one is good

but

ratio is still broken

now i can move to my second monitor

[true sphinx]

can you give me an image

[lapis valve]

of both monitors?

[true sphinx]

of the issue

[lapis valve]

theres no error codes i just cant move my mouse to the other screen

and this monitor is still at 1399

[true sphinx]

try the other direction

like maybe we put it on the wrong side

[lapis valve]

could we vc so i show what happened

[true sphinx]

yes

hyprctl monitors

highres

[true sphinx]

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-3,1920x1080@60,0x0,1

"1"

1

[lapis valve]

i cant

unmute

why cant i

i cant hear neither

i have no mic nor

headphones detected

[true sphinx]

LINUX xD

i mean we can fix that aswell

[lapis valve]

ples

cant share my screen neither

[true sphinx]

thats why i dont like archinstall. it kinda works buut some random stuff is broken

[lapis valve]

which one would u have recommended

[true sphinx]

manual install is best for arch but its a bit of a pain the first time

[lapis valve]

wdym manual install

[true sphinx]

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

this thing here

[lapis valve]

should i have done that instead

[true sphinx]

after that you know exactly waht works

[true sphinx]

the script should work aswell we just need to fix the weird stuff

[lapis valve]

which script

[true sphinx]

can oyu give me systemctl --user pipewire

[true sphinx]

like the arch install one you did

[lapis valve]

[ander@anderdingus ~]$ systemctl --user pipewire
Unknown command verb 'pipewire'.
[ander@anderdingus ~]$

[lapis valve]

hm

i have no idea

[true sphinx]

systemctl --user status pipewire

mb

[true sphinx]

sudo pacman -Syu wireplumber pipewire-pulse

[lapis valve]

[true sphinx]

like if you want a simpler one id recommend cachyos still arch based but you dont have to read a wiki to get it working

[lapis valve]

ill do arch dw

[true sphinx]

systemctl --user start pipewire-pulse
systemctl --user start wireplumber

[lapis valve]

oh shi

i can now share my screen

alr

still cant speak nor talk to

[true sphinx]

sudo pacman -Syu pavucontrol

[lapis valve]

done

[true sphinx]

its called volumecontroll in ther

e

so between this and dc it sould hopefully work

does yt or something have sound

[lapis valve]

nope

[true sphinx]

systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse
systemctl --user status wireplumber
systemctl --user status pipewire

systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse wireplumber pipewire

systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse wireplumber pipewire

[lapis valve]

still cant hear anything

[true sphinx]

i think restart broke your stream

[lapis valve]
