Cannot manage to make it work on PopOS!

I think it's normal but I would have wanted it to work haha

Where you have problem? Script that builds hyprland or?

[samsungapore]

the script is running fine but in the end I don't have the possibility to switch on the newly installed user interface after reboot

[Senshi111]

I don't think i understand you. You don't have option to switch users in sddm?

Facing the same issue on Debian unstable/sid, the session is not available for login in the list of sessions on SDDM login screen

[tellmeY18]

copy the desktop entry (examples/hyprland.desktop) to /usr/share/wayland-sessions/

I had to do this after the manual installation of Hyprland for it to show up in the desktop entries in ly login manager. Still had no issues with lightdm maybe give it a try or verify the file exists ?

After a lot of debugging with @vysakh218 , we found the compilation was failing due to wrong version of wayland-protocols . I had the correct version installed 1.32 on Debian unstable/sid . However it was finding 1.24

The culprit was snap using a gnome-core package which was supplying the value 1.24 of wayland-protocols to meson.

After removing the snaps, the build completed properly and the installation happened smoothly.

You can try doing the same with PopOS, or paste the logs of the scripts run and we can see what the issue is.

I will try to improve install hyprland script and add check if build failed

I removed all installed snap packages using sudo snap remove <package-name>
and then removed snap with sudo apt purge snap

I removed all installed snap packages using sudo snap remove <package-name> and then removed snap with sudo apt purge snap

ok, I m sure that i dont have any snap packages in my debian12, even 'snap' is not installed. So it may be some preinstalled packages supplying 1.24.

Thanks for reply, i'll try to dig out what's going on

Hey you have to be using debian sid to get the Wayland protocols proper version.

Hope it solves the issue.

Even debian 12 has wayland-protocols (1.31-1) version but somehow his getting 1.24

@Senshi111 @tellmeY18
Finally solve it:

1. I have already install wayland-protocols (1.31-1) from sid
   Apt is showing version: 1.32-1
   But pkg-config --modversion wayland-protocols is showing 1.24

2. Then i found a file here '/usr/local/share/pkgconfig/wayland-protocols.pc' is still providing 1.24

3. Remove this file and reinstall wayland-protocols by apt then solve the problem. 🦹
