100% a bug, whenever you change a wallpaper swww-daemon dumps core. This only started after the most recent updates, the wallbashv4 changes perhaps? It may not be with hyprdots itself, but this only presented after hyprdots update, nothing else changed. After I noticed this regression, updated my system (usually current, only had a few things out of date) so: This used to happen when hyprdots was new, same exact thing: best guess is some cache issue. Here's the error log after rm -rf ~/.cache/swww/* rm -rf $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/swww.socket, then launching swww-daemon manually. It launches, displays wallpaper, but when you change wallpaper: The stack trace stuff in the system log is unremarkable will try to find out more, could be hyprland-git branch related, gonna try to move to stable and see if it chokes UPDATE: it sort of works-ish on hyprland 37.1.1 -- whatever the current branch is on arch, but not at login, need to manually delete caches and load from cli w/ --xrgb |

I'm not facing any issues with my system... tried both non-git version and git version 0.9.1 |

I think it's either a hidpi issue or a fractional scaling issue? something similar used to happen about a year? or so ago, to the point where i had an exec-once = fixswww.sh on startup (just a--hesitate to even call it a-- script with rm -rf ~/.cache/swww/* && rm -rf $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/swww.socket or something to that effect, probably in my old zfs snapshots, can't remember. it does seem to resolve with rm -rf ~/.cache/swww/* rm -rf $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/swww.socket not a big deal for me, can exec-once a cache clear, just FYI |

how about |

Glad its working for you... maybe we should think about clearing the swww cache at startup. |

it hasn't done it in forever, only restarted after that wallbash push today/yesterday my underlying config is supe... err hypr-weird: incus gui containers w/ wayland socket, zfs root/kmod/clang kernel, apparmor, multi-gpu, vertical 4k monitor, etc the point being: in my case, it could be anything, but if others are experiencing it, cache clear might not hurt |

Tried that same Error |

Ok that kinda worked, but when I switch themes it still crashes. |

Maybe because I have the git version? I installed it from git because curl wont install the version in the hyprdots-script. |

when you switch themes or switch wallpapers? looks like some config changes were just pushed to the create_cache script, just glanced but looks like that the imagemagick part (cpu/mem intensive part that might potentiate this) of the script has some shiny new &> /dev/null amendments, presume that's a mitigation for this, 100% a guess though, not too familiar will try and update with latest change and report back UPDATE: almost positive this is now fixed with the 'minor updates'/4417065 commit @Swordpro3001 I pulled the latest changes and ran the script again, then did "Hyprdots cache rebuild" (hyprdots-ctl-git, not sure if it's included in the script tbh), now theme/wall changes work fine, even after logout/login, give it a shot, think it will work @prasanthrangan, 1. lol thanks, it's quite a "7 year old me would have loved this" setup and |
