Description

Screen content is briefly visible before hyprlock appears after waking up with different display. This does not happen when waking up with the same display.

How to reproduce

• Have kanshi manage ouptups.
• Have profiles for only external display, only internal display.
• Suspend (screen is locked automatically via hypridle before suspend is finished).
• Disconnect or connect external display.
• Wake up

Please try to use hyprlock -q --no-fade-in.

I have a feeling that it's just that the first frame submitted by hyprlock is leaky.

[James46113]

Adding -q seems to have fixed it, thanks. Was logging slowing it down?

Just a minor cosmetic issue:

It flashes with my background colour before showing the image. I'm guessing that's the time taken to load the image.

Is there any way to get rid of this? It is already being used by hyprland as it's the same as my wallpaper.

[PointerDilemma]

Adding -q seems to have fixed it, thanks.

Are you sure about that? I don't think that logging can be the problem.

It flashes with my background color before showing the image. I'm guessing that's the time taken to load the image.

That's what the immediate_render option is for.

[Vladimir-csp]

--no-fade-in does not help. This might be a hyprland's issue, since compositor should not draw anything except lockscreen when the screen is locked.

[PointerDilemma]

This might be a hyprland's issue, since compositor should not draw anything except lockscreen when the screen is locked.

There are two things to it:

1. Hyprland still draws the workspace below the lockscreen clients, if the client has at least one lock surface. This is planned to be removed once I manage to get #726 in.
2. Hyprland in combination with hypridle supports a protocol named hyprland-lock-notify, which is supposed to ensure that hyprlock actually locked the screen before we allow systemd to suspend.

So if you are running hypridle and now use --no-fade-in, I guess that the problem is actually that we are running into a situation where your monitor is recognized immediately after wake up, Hyprland does it's thing, but hyprlock is not fast enought to submit a frame for the new monitor. This will be fixed once we manage to implement (1).

So keep an eye out for #726. I will keep you posted here.

[JonnieCache]

Also still seeing a flash of the desktop after waking from suspend. I'm using immediate-render, no-fade-in, inhibit-sleep=3 etc.

(This is just with the builtin laptop panel, not another monitor, but this seems to be the current issue for this problem.)

EDIT: after inspection of the logs, turns out i was specifying no_fade_in as a config option rather than a command line switch. With that corrected, I now no longer have the desktop flash on unsuspend. Surely the relevant event should not be emitted, and thus suspend should be inhibited, until after hyprlock has finished rendering though? Regardless of loading the background and fading in etc.

At the moment there still seems to be a race, albeit one that is winnable with the right settings.

[PointerDilemma]

At the moment there still seems to be a race, albeit one that is winnable with the right settings.

That has been the situation without the protocol.

At least in theory, there shouldn't be a race assuming static monitors. It should go through the following sequence of events.

1. Sleep triggers, but is inhibited by hypridle.
2. Hypridle launches hyprlock via lock_cmd.
3. Hyprlock locks the compositor.
4. Hyprlock creates lock surfaces.
5. Only when all monitors render a lock surface, Hyprland sends locked to hyprlock and notifies hypridle that it can release the sleep inhibitor.

The thing that should prevent any race is the "Only when all monitors render a lock surface" part. However there are some edge cases that we need to fix. Part of that is https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock/pull/726, which will improve the situation a bit. And it will further be improved once Hyprland doesn't draw it's workspace below lock surfaces anymore.

What will remain though is that fade-in may cause leakage. That's why my suggestion is to make your hypridle config be like this (different hyprlock command for before_sleep_cmd and lock_cmd):

general {
    before_sleep_cmd = hyprlock --no-fade-in --immediate
    lock_cmd = hyprlock
}

[IiroUllin]

See this: https://github.com/hyprwm/hypridle/issues/146

[PointerDilemma]

Thanks @IiroUllin, let's move this to the hypridle issue. Hyprlock is only involved in terms of how it's first submitted frame looks.

[Vladimir-csp]

Tested with Hyprland 0.50.0 and hyprlock 0.9.0. Now I briefly see lockscreen crash screen when waking up with different monitor, but hyprlock did not crash. ...and I made a mistake in the initial assumption that sleep is involved, it does not: Lock screen, switch monitor, observe the same thing. It seems that hyprlock plays fade in animation every time it appears on screen, instead of just at the start.

I think the proper fix would be to disable fade in animation after it was played, or disable it when handling any new screen that was not present on startup, or better yet hardcode it to start from black in those cases.

[PointerDilemma]

@Vladimir-csp

I think the proper fix would be to disable fade in animation after it was played, or disable it when handling any new screen that was not present on startup, or better yet hardcode it to start from black in those cases.

It alread does that. Or at least it is supposed to.

Hyprlock only does fade in at the start (In the code this is data.opacity, which is only modified during startup and during fade out. The first frames on new monitors also should always be solid.

I tried to reproduce what you described without luck.

I messed with my monitors a bunch, but it always worked fine. What exactly do you mean with

Lock screen, switch monitor

With "switch monitor", do you mean like unplugging your laptop and then re-plugging it into another monitor. If so are you plugging into one with different screen dimensions, or same?

Is the lid switch of your laptop involved at all?

Can you post some logs from hyprlock?

[Vladimir-csp]

I use kanshi, single monitor profiles (either external or laptop). So while external is connected, I lock screen, disconnect monitor, kanshi switches on laptop monitor where I see crash screen fading into hyprlock.

[Vladimir-csp]

Lock, disconnect, unlock. Hyprlock is tagged via hyprlidle in the journal.

I managed to reproduce it.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f7ba7b48-632b-4cee-b36c-8a1a84ccc975

I confirmed that hyprlock's background widget renders the solid color as soon as it can (frame 0). If one downloads the video and steps through it frame by frame, it seems like it cross fades to the lockdead screen, which is not implemented, so very weird. Then the clock rendered by hyprlock appears before hyprlocks background, although hyprlock renders both of them at frame 0.

Something is wrong for sure. Idk what though.

Just to confirm @Vladimir-csp, do you also get a frame of your previous workspace on eDP-1 like in my video, or is it just 1-2 frames of the lockdead screen?

[Vladimir-csp]

Recorded a video and yes, I see a frame(s) of workspace before crash screen.

I also use two backgrounds: screenshot with transparent color fallback (so it is transparent on new monitors) and a backup image under screenshot background.

Update: External monitor doesn't matter. It's when disabling a monitor, but not disconnecting it. I can reproduce it with monitor disable && hyprlock& sleep 4 && monitor enable on hyprland and sway. But not river or niri. But the client is irrelevant. Happens with swaylock too. I think the swapchain still has a buffer that is rendered when enabling it again or something like that. Although I don't really know. I will ask vaxry about that.

Lockdead showing for a few frames is a separate easily fixable problem though. It should be a black screen (primer we already use). It seams like river manages to do that and it looks natural, because the screen is just turning on. On Niri it flashes red, but no frame of workspaces showing.

[PointerDilemma]

Reopening for tracking, as most people will be looking for a hyprlock issue. It is a compositor bug though.

[logrusx]

I just saw that too, but it's not on a different display. It happened on my main display. It might be related to having more than one displays, I have an external display as well.

[Vladimir-csp]

Is there a Hyprland issue/discussion for this?
