Single-script builder (nosignal.sh) that turns a stock Arch Linux ISO into a fully-offline installer for a themed Hyprland + caelestia (Quickshell) desktop: matching SDDM greeter, Btrfs/Limine bootable snapshots, chwd-style GPU detection, and a curated "os updates" layer (keybind cheatsheet, settings panels, system polish, on-box management skill).

# monitor-control-fix — make saved hyprmoncfg profiles actually apply
|
|
|
|
Bug fix for monitor-control (hyprmoncfg). Saving a monitor profile in the
|
|
`Super+Ctrl+H` TUI had **no effect**: `~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf` stayed
|
|
empty and the layout/scale never changed.
|
|
|
|
## Root cause
|
|
|
|
`hyprmoncfg` writes `monitors.conf` only if it can confirm that file is
|
|
`source`d — and it checks **only the single file passed as `--hypr-config`**
|
|
(default `hyprland.conf`). On caelestia the source line lives in
|
|
`hypr-user.conf`, and `hyprland.conf` includes it **indirectly**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
hyprland.conf ──source = $cConf/hypr-user.conf──▶ hypr-user.conf
|
|
└─source = ~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
hyprmoncfg does not follow that nested include (nor expand the `$cConf`
|
|
variable), so it reports *"monitors.conf is not sourced by hyprland.conf"* and
|
|
aborts. The daemon log shows it even finds the right profile first:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
best profile "profile-…" score=100
|
|
apply failed: …/monitors.conf is not sourced by …/hyprland.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Fix
|
|
|
|
Point hyprmoncfg's verification at `hypr-user.conf` (which sources
|
|
`monitors.conf` directly), with an **absolute** `--monitors-conf` (otherwise it
|
|
resolves relative to the `--hypr-config` directory). Applied in two places:
|
|
|
|
- **Daemon** — systemd user drop-in `hyprmoncfgd.service.d/override.conf`
|
|
re-runs `hyprmoncfgd` with the two flags (using the `%h` home specifier).
|
|
The drop-in also gates startup with an `ExecStartPre` loop: at login the
|
|
daemon raced Hyprland's startup — `hyprctl
|
|
instances -j` is momentarily invalid JSON, the first profile apply failed
|
|
and flashed an error notification (the daemon's own 5s retry then
|
|
succeeded). The gate waits (≤30s) for the instances JSON to parse before
|
|
the daemon starts, so no failed first attempt and no notification.
|
|
- **TUI** — `Super+Ctrl+H` rebound to `hyprmoncfg --hypr-config … --monitors-conf …`.
|
|
|
|
No package change; no edits to the forbidden caelestia clone files.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
- `hyprmoncfgd-override.conf` → `~/.config/systemd/user/hyprmoncfgd.service.d/override.conf`
|
|
- binds appended to `~/.config/caelestia/hypr-user.conf` (idempotent marked block)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sh install-monitor-control-fix.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Builder notes — fold into monitor-control
|
|
|
|
Cleanest is to **bake the two flags into monitor-control directly** rather than ship a
|
|
separate fix:
|
|
- Add the `hyprmoncfgd.service.d/override.conf` drop-in to the image (or patch
|
|
the upstream unit / package the daemon with these defaults).
|
|
- Make the `Super+Ctrl+H` bind in `monitor-control/hyprland-monitor-control.conf`
|
|
include `--hypr-config $HOME/.config/caelestia/hypr-user.conf --monitors-conf
|
|
$HOME/.config/hypr/monitors.conf`.
|
|
- Upstream-worthy: hyprmoncfg should follow nested `source =` includes and
|
|
expand Hyprland variables when locating the monitors.conf source line.
