Description

After upgrading and trying to name an headless output (hyprctl output create headless RPI), I noticed waybar appearing twice on this output. Inspecting the output of waybar I found the attached log extract.

hyprpaper logged a duplicated line as well for this named headless output ("Image data for RPI: [...]")

After tracking the probable cause to 82099fd, I tried running hyprctl output create headless with no name, and dealing with the auto-generated HEADLESS-* name instead. This resolved the issue.

How to reproduce

Add the following line to your hyprland.conf :

monitor=test,1920x1080@30, 1920x0, 1

Then run the following commands :

hyprctl output create headless test
waybar # Take a screenshot of `test` output to confirm the issue
hyprpaper # (Don't forget to define a WP for the `test` output) Notice the wallpaper being applied twice in stdout

Is there anything wrong with this issue ? Do I need to add more details ?

no, I don't have anything to say. I have 900 open issues, and this isnt a pressing issue at all
