Other [Wayland] Hyprland 0.49.0 Update Breaks Everything

ksolowoniuk · May 13, 2025

Hey, Just reaching out to anyone using Hyprland to see if the latest update on May 9th caused problems for anyone else. Launching after the update results in Alacritty starting but not taking any keystrokes. This is followed by a dialog "Application not responding" (new for Hyprland 0.49.0) that fails to accept mouse clicks. Chromium completely locks up at launch. Sorry I don't have more information at the moment. I am running FreeBSD:14:latest AMD64. --- I just wanted to add that I've been running Hyprland for probably close to 2 years without issue.

I've reached out to the maintainer and am waiting to hear back. In the mean time what I did was:

removed hyprland 0.49.0
followed by pkg autoremove
edited /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf changed latest->quarterly
installed hyprland 0.48.1
changed back to latest repo
locked several packages

 

λ pkg info -ak | grep yes

aquamarine-0.8.0               yes

hyprgraphics-0.1.2             yes

hyprland-0.48.1                yes

hyprland-qtutils-0.1.3         yes

hyprlang-0.6.0_3               yes

hyprutils-0.5.2                yes

I'm not sure if this is the cleanest way to downgrade a package but I wasn't able to fix the issues with the new version of hyprland.

Thank you, I'm still on .48.1 and will stick with it till this is sorted

I think the package is being rolled back to 0.48.1 for now. They are discussing the issue in the repo.

Your issue doesn't apply to this thread. However I also have Hyprland crashing on exit. There was an issue reported in 2023 that was marked as fixed issue #1744. Maybe start a discussion on github re the issue.

Hey, the maintainer rolled the package back to 0.48.1 and they are looking into the issue. Are you still running 0.49.0? If so just uninstall and re-install 0.48.1. Hopefully they can get it sorted out.
