Other 14.2 - Hyprland - hyprctl only works for root

[freebsdiz4me]

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.

Sorry for bumping ..
But ... whats the reason for using "dbus-launch exit-with-session ck-launch-session hyprland" ?

I couldn't get at the launch otherwise. I was throwing a debus errors launching as it sits with that command it watches without an issue.

and session is what ? login manager session ? i tried it and exit with session was not found so if i remove it - all good.

wrong syntax
missing the -- before exit with session

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session dwl

it should be

--exit-with-session

and not

exit-with-session

if in doubt

dbus-launch

man.freebsd.org

It works and maybe ill get less error and crashing. Time will tell.
P.s. i was able to start Hyprland without all these commands - just used Hyprland
btw this is how i used to launching it:
➜ hyprland --config ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf 2>~/.hyprland.err >~/.hyprland.log

after adding dbus command for testing:
➜ dbus-launch --exit-with-session ck-launch-session hyprland --config ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf 2>~/.hyprland.err >~/.hyprland.log

FreeBSD 15 - Hyprland works amazing now.

Ensure your part of the video group and enable seated in rc.conf and start from command line with hyprland.

Seatd issues have been resolved.
