[BUG] When installed over Garuda Linux Dr460nized, Snapper and System Maintenance no longer show notifications in Hyprland

Open radu-corbu opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Garuda Linux (Dr460nized edition) comes with Snapper and has a System Maintenance app.

Normally, when you choose to rollback to a Snapper snapshot, the system reboots to that snapshot and you get an on-screen notification when you log in that warns you about being booted into a snapshot.

Similarly, when system maintenance is needed (e.g., you have outdated snapshots, you need to update your system, etc.), the Garuda System Maintenance tool displays a little tray icon that warns you about these things.

After installing the ML4W dotfiles and logging into Hyprland, these 2 things no longer work. If I log into the Plasma session, they work still normally.

To Reproduce

  1. Install Garuda Linux Dr460nized
  2. Install ml4w-hyprland (I am using the -git package)
  3. Log into Hyprland and finish configuring the ML4W installation
  4. Open the BRFS Assistant
  5. Go to the Snapper tab --> New/Delete
  6. Create a new snapshot for testing
  7. Reboot
  8. In the GRUB menu, select the option to restore from a snapshot
  9. Select your snapshot and boot into it
  10. Log into Hyprland
  11. Upon logging in, you should get a Snapper notification (see screenshots below) but you don't

To verify how the Snapper notification should work, you can repeat steps 8+9 and then log into Plasma rather than Hyprland. Not really sure how to see the System Maintenance notification in action.

Expected behavior Given that the ML4W are said to work under Garuda Linux (in your installation video it looks like you're using Garuda Linux Dr460nized too), Garuda's toolset should keep working.

Screenshots Here's an example of the Snapper notification that you get when you boot into a snapshot under a Plasma session:

I don't have a screenshot of what the system maintenance tray icon looks like, but the configuration options it offers are the following:

@Haraven Thanks for adding your request, but I am not sure if this is a dotfiles issue or more a snapper with Hyprland issue. Can you please open an issue on snapper and ask for any side effects with dialogs when using it on Hyprland?
