Key bindings not working
Adi1912-pro opened this issue · 24 comments
I have installed the hyprland (on UBUNTU 23.1) as per the instructions and after successful installation some keybindings do not work, unable to edit keybindings and also app launcher doesn't show up.
Some of the key bindings that do not work are:-
- Super key + W
- super key (stand alone)
- super key + E
- super key + D
quite possibly rofi-wayland was not installed properly
Is there any solution to resolve this issue ?
have you tried re-running the script?
I have reinstalled hyperland multiple times by formating the disk and then installed it on fresh ubuntu 23.1. But same error every time.
I have updated to latest Hyprland v0.39.1
however, it does not work with 23.10 anymore. Will work on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS though
I just installed hyprland with this script in Ubuntu 24.04LTS and have the same issue... is there a way to install missing packages manually?
did you use the ubuntu branch?
yes just like it's mentioned in the docs

just to be clear, you logout and then choose Hyprland on login manager? Just covering basic here since Ive seen on occasion they start Hyprland on tty while running Ubuntu-Gnome
Yeah of course. I also did an update and reboot. I can't close windows other than the key binding window and cant even open the app launcher along with many other bindings
can you attach a screeenshot?
I'm sorry if it is obvious, but what do you want a screenshot of?
I uninstalled hyprland with sudo make uninstall inside the 'Hyprland' folder and then rerun the script. Now it works better but still no keybinds... For example touchpad gestures for Workspace switching work now and I can resize windows, which was not possible before. Still not App Launcher or Wallpaper choosing etc.
Edit: Closing windows with ESC also does not work
I'm sorry if it is obvious, but what do you want a screenshot of?
your whole screen...
im just trying to grasp the situation
open kitty (Super enter) and then type this
rofi -show drun -modi drun,filebrowser,run,window
any output? error?
yeah the error was that rofi was not installed. After installing it, it works now thanks! Is rofi not a part of the install script?
Edit: Can't close windows still with ESC
Edit2: Nevermind Super+Q quits windows... That means it works now
But Super+W does not open the wallpaper menu
you should install rofi-wayland
rofi can be use but you will have some issues
rofi-wayland is included in the install-script
okay thanks
Ah I see the problem is there the package is not available and that's why the script couldn't install it
E: Unable to locate package rofi-wayland

you need to manually compile it...
Debian / Ubuntu dont have it in their repo
sorry to bother you, rofi works now thank you for your help! I just have a question what part is responsible for the wallpaper selector since it still is unavailable and I couldn't figure out which command would launch it
kindly review contents of directories inside
~/.config/hypr
I have also created a small wiki
