Post‐Installation

Post Install

Here are small steps to do after installing the dotfiles.

Potential Issues 🐛

There may be some issues after the install, like the audio icon in the bar not appearing and the temperature.

Those dotfiles are optimized for bare metal laptops, if you're using a VM or a desktop, some stuff may not work as expected or at all.

For the audio 🔉

Make sure pipewire and wireplumber are installed and running, either as a service or in the background by launching them. You can edit the startup script in the hypr/scripts folder and add the line wireplumber & if necessary (pipewire is already written in it).

For the temperature

We get the temperature from hwmon. You need to locate the temp1_input somewhere in the /sys/class/hwmon/... and put the correct value in both backgroundless and background config of the waybar for both Hyprland and Sway (hypr/waybar/config and hypr/waybar/config-background for example) :

"temperature": {
    // "thermal-zone": 2,
    "hwmon-path": "/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input", // << Change the path here
    "critical-threshold": 80,
    // "format-critical": "{temperatureC}°C ",
    "format": "  {temperatureC}°C"
},

In my current laptop, the path is as above but on another laptop like a Dell Inspirion 2in1 I have, the path is /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input. Take that as a hint.

For the brightness

As of now, if you use a desktop with a monitor, it won't appear no matter what (if it does, lucky you?). I only support laptops for now.

Keyboard Layout ⌨️

By default, the config is set to the AZERTY keyboard layout, but you can switch between QWERTY and AZERTY with the Alt + L.Shift keybinds.

If you wish to use other layouts or remove the French layout :

Hyprland : In ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf, replace the in the line kb_layout = fr,us with the layouts you want (More info in the Hyprland Wiki)
