From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi everyone, I use hyprland on archlinux and recently some of my software just dont even open anymore. I am not sure what kind of log i can provide but here is what i did: i do system update everyday, i also play a bit with Kodi and qt5 yesterday. I am not sure what is the issues right now but it seem to be a native package or dependencies issue because heroic Flatpak work fine(didnt try bitwarden or vscodium tho). Any help would mean a lot for me. Thanks!

The software that don't work: vscodium-bin(AUR), Heroic-launcher-bin(AUR) and bitwarden-desktop(official repo) refuse to open at all. Steam(official repo) open and crash loop

Fix: use hyprctl setcursor theme size in my case i use bibata

I had this problem with chromium based apps a while ago, and it turned out to be a problem with missing cursors. I just downloaded a different cursor pack and the problem was solved.

I don't know if it's the same thing but it's worth checking; a debugger can point you in the right direction if it's something else.

Lol wtf! Are these like novelty cursors or something? Does arch not come with a default cursor? The only thing odder to me than this problem is that two people had it! The internet is great and technology always entertaining.

What's even more amazing is that back then I had the luck to find this thread and this other thread which also had the same problem. Because the most I got out of checking logs and debugging coredumps, was this ReadCursorFromTheme error (repeated like 10000 times).

Also, I had the default cursor pack and like with OP, it just stopped working one day. I'm guessing it has something to do with how hyprland tells the apps what cursor to use (hence the hyprcursor thing OP mentions), but honestly I don't even want to think about it anymore, it made me lose a whole day back then xP

Arch doesn't come with a default anything, it's a DIY distro.

If u tell me arch do not come with default cursor, I would believe it. Lol. This issue make me feel stupid
