archinstall script issues when using .json config files

nietsnibur · 2023-10-24 07:49:18

I recently successfully installed arch with hyprland as the desktop option. I saved the .json files for a future install. When I did try to use them, I noticed I had to manually select again desktop and hyprland as options, or else system specific files such as dunst, xdg-desktop-portal-hyrpland wouldn't be installed. When manually doing this, the description changed from hyprland to desktop, on the overall list of options, right before install.

Here's the json file:
