FAQ_Login_Managers

🎗️ Log in including Log in Managers (SDDM, GDM etc)

SDDM Sequoia virtual keyboards.

• see Instruction from the author if you want to use virtual keyboards on your SDDM

🔑 installed zsh but no autostart of Hyprland after login

• This was disabled a few days ago. (19 May 2024). This was because some users, after they used the Distro-Hyprland scripts with other DE (gnome-wayland or plasma-wayland), if they choose to login into gnome-wayland for example, Hyprland is starting.
• to avoid this, I disabled it. You can re-enable again by editing ~/.zprofile . Remove all the # on the first lines

⁉️ After installing on Gnome or Plasma, and after reboot, it starts Gnome, or Plasma not Hyprland.

• Disable auto-login and logout
• Choose Hyprland (NOT Hyprland-uswm-managed) with either GDM or SDDM as shown below. If you don't have Hyprland in the option, Hyprland may not be installed properly. Check the install logs in the Distro-Hyprland/install-logs directory. Rerun the install script ./install.sh from the Distro-Hyprland install script you used to install Kool's Dots e.g for Arch go to Arch-Hyprland/install-logs, or Debian-Hyprland/install-logs

🖥️ If it goes back to log-in Manager after trying to Log in

• Check logs. Probably Hyprland or any other packages was not installed properly. Or if you are using a VM, need to enable 3D acceleration.
• You can also try to ran Hyprland manually. CTRL ALT F2 or F3, login as user. Once logged in, type Hyprland. If command not found, check installation log or you can re-run the install.sh script if some packages weren't installed. Check the Distro-Hyprland/install-logs directory to see what packages failed to install. E.g. For arch go to Arch-Hyprland/install-logs, or Debian-Hyprland/install-logs.
