did you change something on waybar config? I cant emulate that error

[Popx1]

No i did not i just installed hyprland
when i uesd your script is broke xorg for some reason

[JaKooLit]

how did you update? Ran Arch-Hyprland script or just pacman -Syu?

Next time, be more specific

First you show waybar is lagging

now you mentioned about xorg

[Popx1]

I didn't update i just installed it
I meant that i tried this dotfiles before and it was working fine

[JaKooLit]

as stated here

https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/wiki/Install_&_Update

"
It is highly recommend, that in order to update to newer dot files (Hyprland-Dots), re-download and re-run the -Hyprland scripts above.

This is because to ensure that apps / packages are properly installed. You will get the latest released version of the dotfiles.
"

Dot files are evolving and some updates needs newer packages

Likely something else taking up that socket and notification bus is running. Hunt it down through htop or something and kill it.

When you kill waybar and relaunch it in terminal, do you still see the socket error?

Go in your currently active Waybar config and comment out all the module and keep just clock un-commented. then relaunch the Waybar. See if you still get the issue.

[Popx1]

Then i could just use another bar config

[Popx1]

can i use something like polybar or something

[ghost]

can i use something like polybar or something

You can't. Polybar is for xOrg.

Then i could just use another bar config

I suggested above method for debugging so that once you have Waybar running fine with single module, you can one-by-one start enabling module.

Also if you want to switch to new bar, I'd suggest Ags bar.

[Popx1]

I didn't find Ags bar

[SherLock707]

Did you try my suggestion with waybar?

[SherLock707]

I didn't find Ags bar

https://github.com/Aylur/ags/tree/main/example/simple-bar

Copy and rename config and style in ags folder.

You can find more by searching 'ags' at reddit

Converted to discussion instead as it seems its not really a BUG
