To setup most of the things at ones : (errors may raise out of nowhere) 

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cybergaz/scripts/main/hypr_setup.sh)"


Essential packages (afaik) :

make wlroots wayland-protocols pkgconf ninja patch catch2 waybar-hyprland-git brightnessctl pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack wireplumber xdg-desktop-portal-wlr grim slurp sddm hyprland-git foot

Additional packages :

wofi alacritty nemo ranger mako neofetch btop viewnior swaybg swayidle swaylock-effects waylogout-git swww zoxide cliphist wtype wl-clipboard polkit-gnome grim slurp satty-bin

Screen sharing / recording issue :

pacman -Q | grep xdg-desktop-portal-

  1. more detailed docs : someone's notes

Setup a polkit agent :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Layan-Dark
  • for dark theme , you have to make changes at your : ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme {theme-folder}

Fonts

  1. Download ttf files and put them in : /usr/local/share/fonts

refer to powerlevel10k github readme font section for mesloLGS-nf fonts

SDDM theme

  1. Download sddm theme you want , and place them at : /usr/share/sddm/themes/
  2. set the theme , at /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf

Extras

for emoji's stuff

yay -S wofi wtype wl-clipboard ttf-twemoji-color noto-fonts-emoji

git clone https://github.com/cybergaz/scripts
cd scripts/wofi-emoji
sh wofi-emoji.sh

android mount pkgs

mtpfs   --> for media transfer protocol
jmtpfs --> for later version supports
gvfs-mtp --> for automount and all ( usb android file transfer )
gvfs-gphoto2  --> for picture transfer protocol

Tips

  • Alter power key,lid, idle related actions at /etc/systemd/logind.conf
  • Install powertop and tlp --> for power management in laptops
  • If you're facing pulseaudio & bluetooth related issue then, uninstall everything related to pulseaudio , pipewire and bluetooth ( bluez and all.. ) and then install :
pulseaudio pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl bluez bluez-utils blueman-git
  • For nix packages search :
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
sudo nix search nixpkgs --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes
nix-channel --update
nix-env -qaP --description | awk '{$2 = ":"; print $0;}' > "nps.cache"
  • To get rid of that 90s shutdown issue :
    • head to the /etc/systemd/system.conf and overwrite these line ->
DefaultTimeoutStartSec=1s
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=1s
DefaultTimeoutAbortSec=
DefaultDeviceTimeoutSec=1s

switching from pulseaudio to pipewire

  • install necessary packages
yay -S pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack
  • Stop PulseAudio services and enable pipewire services:
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service
systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.service

systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket
systemctl --user enable pipewire.service
systemctl --user start pipewire.socket
systemctl --user start pipewire.service
  • If you are facing bluetooth headset mic related issue , then try changing profile to HSP/HFP using pavucontrol
  • To adjust the ownership and permissions of drives :
    • mount the partition first at desired location say /mnt and then the following commands
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /mnt
sudo chmod -R u+w /mnt
sudo usermod -aG dis,storage,uuidd yourusername

iwd setup

  1. create /etc/iwd/main.conf with following content :
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true

[Network]
EnableIPv6=true
  1. enable following services
sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl enable --now iwd
# important for some packages that relies only on resolv.conf (which is a NetworkManager thing)
sudo ln -rsf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

NOTE : To provide DNS for software that reads /etc/resolv.conf (which is created and used by NetworkManager) , such as Go-lang softwares like github-cli , some web-browsers etc, we need to link /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf (which is created and used by IWD) to resolv.conf
more detailed docs : arch wiki systemd-resolved

systemd-networkd for ethernet connections

  • create /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network with following content (change the name of ethernet interface to yours)
[Match]
Name=enp0s20f0u5

[Network]
DHCP=yes

PGP keys importing error

  • run following cmds
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate
sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring

incorrect password limit

  • open /etc/security/faillock.conf file and look for variable deny and unlock-time and change them accordingly
