Waybar is not loading

The effect that waybar isn't loading usually happens after a fresh installation of the ML4W Dotfiles. The reason is the start of the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk process. It also can happen when you start Hyprland from tty the second time.

If waybar is not loading, the first thing that you should try is to reboot your system and try again.

You can open a terminal with SUPER+Return and enter wlogout.

If it's still not working please try to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

sudo pacman -R xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Reboot your system again.

Waybar should working now but you will loose the dark mode in Libadwaita apps e.g., nautilus. The ML4W Apps will still work in dark mode.

Then try to install it again with

sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Please also make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is not installed in parallel to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. Please try to remove the package then.

If there is still this issue, please uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. If dark mode is required install dolphin, qt6ct and enable breeze and darker colors to get a filemanager in dark mode.

Missing icons in waybar

In case of missing icons on waybar, it's due to a conflict between several installed fonts (can happen especially on Arco Linux). Please make sure that ttf-ms-fonts is uninstalled and ttf-font-awesome and otf-font-awesome are installed with

yay -R ttf-ms-fonts
yay -S ttf-font-awesome otf-font-awesome
