Other 14.2 - Hyprland - hyprctl only works for root

freebsdiz4me · Wednesday at 12:53 AM

I'm unable to utilize hyprctl monitors for example due to the .socket & .socket2 not being spawned upon launching hyprland from command line as a normal user. If I login with the root account I don't have any issues launching.

/var/run/xdg/$USER/hypr/hyprland signature/.socket . sock.

Receive an error stating could not connect to the two sockets that are missing.

Hi,

Do you have seatd enabled and running before starting Hyprland as an user? Maybe it fixes your problem.

I figured it out. you need to launch with

dbus-launch exit-with-session ck-launch-session hyprland

No issues now.

Upon a fresh install I determined that seated is the issue. I disable seated in rc.conf and I installed consolekit2 and Basu hyperctl monitors works without issue.
