Socket missing.

[YaroKasear]

It seems like hyprctl hyprpaper isn't working.

Despite the fact hyprpaper is running, I get this:

Couldn't connect to /run/user/1000/hypr/_1715171536_207074319/.hyprpaper.sock. (3)

I checked and the socket is not there. I don't know where hyprpaper is putting it, but it's not being put where it's supposed to be. I even looked in /tmp on the off chance hyprpaper might still be trying to set up a socket in the old location, but there's no /tmp/hypr there.

I'm up to date on Nix with the flake.

I ran hyprpaper from a terminal and here's my output:

Looks like maybe the Nix flake is outdated?

if you update hyprpaper to 0.6.0 you need to update hyprland to at least 0.40.0 for the socket to work

I am running Hyprland .40. hyprctl doesn't show that, but a look at what is installed by Nix does:

ls -l `which Hyprland`
lrwxrwxrwx - root 31 Dec  1969  /home/yaro/.nix-profile/bin/Hyprland -> /nix/store/2iwrx31j8vwxm7vnb9pvlhx5s2xl7ypv-hyprland-0.40.0+date=2024-05-08_36d3297/bin/Hyprland

hyprctl version
Hyprland, built from branch  at commit  dirty ().
Date: 
Tag: , commits: 

flags: (if any)

Not sure why hyprctl is blank.

then @fufexan for nix. My guess is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not /run/user/xyz, in which case that was fixed in a commit a bit later, you can install hyprpaper git to verify that

echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR               
/run/user/1000

Not that I mean to come off as rude, but I think this would be more productive if I'm asked versions and values of environment variables rather than presuming what they are.

I'll see about installing the git version using the Flake, as I suspect I have the nixpkgs version.

[vaxerski]

then idk what's up and I'll wait for fufexan to say something, as nix has the weirdest issues with the filesystem structure.

Oh, wait, I misread the logs. Yes, you have hyprland 0.40.0, but hyprpaper is < 0.7.0. Update hyprpaper and it should work. You can see it's trying to connect to the old, pre-0.40 socket path:

Yes, I had seen that it was looking in /tmp/hypr and not in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. The requirement is .7 and not .6?

Anyway, I built the git version through the Nix Flake and it's working now.

My fault for mixing the nixpkgs-unstable version of Hyprpaper with git Hyprland. I should settle on one or the other.

[vaxerski]

yea I made a mistake. 0.7 + 0.40.
