Hyprland not starting after Arch update

hello,
so like many arch and hyprland users, i had issues with logging into my hyprland after updating my system. the errors gave me libaquamarine.3 not found, so i symlinked it and it stopped giving me that error.
however i still got errors so i tried reinstalling hyprland but now i get this log. i tried running it from tty but i get the same output and it doesnt start.

Re: Hyprland not starting after Arch update

so like many arch and hyprland users, i had issues with logging into my hyprland after updating my system

If there are multiple people facing the issue, please submit a bug report and wait for a solution, do not symlink libraries!!

Re: Hyprland not starting after Arch update

i'm actually using JaKooLit's repo for hyprland, and i tried reinstalling it but nothing.

in the hyprland github issues, it was stated that it is an Arch issue as this behaviour is triggered after an arch update.

Re: Hyprland not starting after Arch update

What I meant was if you are able to install the hyprland-git package from the AUR in the mean time. That's the one I'm using and I'm able to launch Hyprland. You can reinstall your version back when the issue is solved in the stable branch.

did you make a post on this forum about an app from a repo that is not from Arch?

the issue is within arch though. when the system is updated, it breaks hyprland, no matter where you got it from.

i'm trying to do that right now, but it's a nightmare with dependencies, i have to manually remove each one. even after doing that, i now get an error for a missing protocol

Re: Hyprland not starting after Arch update

It does matter where you got it from. Unless you can guarantee that you have 100% verified with concrete proof that the script you used to download Hyprland is not the issue then it does matter.

The distro might be Arch, but if you are not using a package from the official arch repo, then we can't provide support. Install the official Hyprland package via pacman and if you are still facing the issue, we can provide support.

Asking us to provide support of an app that you went outside of pacman for is too much of an ask. We don't know what script you used and even then, that would involve meticulously going through the script and verifying that script to see if it's even pulling the proper (up-to-date) sources from upstream. If you go outside of pacman, you seek support from the source you got Hyprland from, and if they are saying it's an arch issue, then use the solution that arch provides (which is the official arch parckage), if then the issue is still present after you install the official arch package, THEN we can provide suport.

Re: Hyprland not starting after Arch update

libaquamarine.3 not found, so i symlinked

Do NOT fix missing libraries with custom symlink. Ever!

How exactly do you build your compy of hyprland that you end up with linker issues?
Or do you just download some precompiled binary from somewhere on the internet?

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/aquamarine/ is at so.6, if something wants so.3
1. something should not want that
2. you'll have to provide the so.3, not a rebranded so.6
