Hi everyone,

I’m having a problem changing the wallpaper on Hyprland.

I installed swww and added these lines to my hyprland.conf:

exec-once = waybar
exec-once = hyprpaper
exec-once = hyprsunset
exec-once = swww init
exec-once = swww img /home/gabri/Pictures/wallpapers/background.jpg

The wallpaper still doesn’t show up.

I also tried launching hyprpaper manually with:

hyprpaper &

and I get this error/output:

DEBUG ]: Welcome to hyprpaper!
built from commit ()
DEBUG ]: Found 1 output(s)
DEBUG ]: Monitor eDP-1 has no target: no wp will be created

I already tried forcing the monitor with hyprctl, but it didn’t help.

I’m a bit confused because I’m using swww, but I also tried hyprpaper to debug the issue.

Do I need to configure hyprpaper.conf separately?
Is there some conflict between swww and hyprpaper?Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I just got a Lenovo ThinkPad T450 and installed Arch Linux on it (first time running Arch on this machine) with Hyprland.

Everything seems to work pretty well, but I’ve noticed an issue: the Windows key (Super key) doesn’t work. It doesn’t seem to be recognized by the system at all, or it simply doesn’t trigger any action (like opening the menu or working in shortcuts).

I already checked the keyboard layout quickly and it looks correct, so I’m not sure if this is an X/Wayland configuration issue or something related to keymaps on Arch. I can’t use hyprland without the super key, I need to change the super button from hyprland file?

Has anyone experienced something similar on a ThinkPad or on Arch Linux? Any ideas on where I should look to fix this?

I verify the hyprland.config file and I saw that:

KEYBINDINGS

 $mainMod = SUPER #Sets "Windows" key as main modifier  

After this line there are some example binds like:

bind = $mainMod, Q, exec, $terminal

I think that the "Win" button doesn't work. How can I confirm that?

Thanks!
